Connected World has named the 2012 Ford Focus the Connected Car of the Year. Hassett Automotive, Long Island's finest Ford dealer, invites all interested customers to visit our dealership and "connect" with their new Ford vehicle today.
Connect World magazine chose the 2012 Ford Focus for their award based on three factors: safety, convenience and information options. Not only is it a breeze to drive this sporty ford compact, but operating the technology is also quite intuitive.

"Ford is honored to receive this award from Connected World magazine," said Ford Focus brand manager Paul Russell. "The award embodies the global nature of the Focus with its fun-to-drive character and smart technology customers are looking for."

Safety and convenience are two of the biggest advantages to Ford's new technology. Once equipped with MyFord Touch®, the 2012 Focus can process over 10,000 voice commands which do everything from controlling climate to choosing a slew of songs from the MP3 player. One other unique factor of the compact car is the ability to become a Wi-Fi® hot spot for tech-savvy drivers.
