  Actually you will comparing Apples with Oranges putting the Fiesta against the Focus. The Fiesta is a considerably smaller vehicle B-segment Sub Compact vs the Focus which is significantly larger and a C-segment Compact size vehicle. Myself, I like the easy parking and handling of a smaller vehicle and with gasoline soon to reach $4.00/$5.00 @ gallon and perhaps higher in the future, I want to achieve maximum mpg. The Fiesta ...

  Will have to try the Fiesta/Focus models before we buy in 2012 just to see what Ford has done lately. We're not Ford buyers but want to see all the competition in the economy car class so we can make an informed decision. Like the looks of the Fiesta but not so much on the Focus...kinda odd since they are very similar. Leaning towards the Elantra & the Verano now as ... Read More

  Phill: Thanks for the update. I wish more people would chime in with their gas mileage and experience with the Fiesta. I almost bought one a month ago but backed out of the deal so I could see what the new Focus is going drive. As soon as I drive a 2012 Focus SEL I am going to make up my mind so any info good or bad would be greatly ... Read More

  no, you fully caught my drift, man. I will look closer at one of these Focus ST's and I am going to need this Goldfinger color, too! Wow! Looks great. Yeah, the Focus hatch is coming for 2012. They called it a Focus 5 in the online mag I got with my Google. And you're right, Ford is either gonna have to lower Fiesta prices or people like I are going ... Read More

• Anyone else like this new Focus for 2012...

  Written by: iluvmysephia1 on Feb 13, 2011 1:32:27 AM

  2012 Ford Focus ST I wonder if Ford charges extra for that shiny gold color. This pup is kind of cool looking...I've been tinkerin' with getting a new Ford Fiesta for about 2013 but with this babe looking like it is I may look at one of these or even a C-Max. Comes complete with the hi-performance, low-profile radials and stiff...or is it stiff-feeling suspension? Ehh? May need ta test drive ... Read More

  I may be in the minority here, but I don't find the 2012 Focus 5 dr or sedan all that interesting. Speaking for myself it's a shame that Ford chose not to have a 3 dr version of the new Focus. I'm reminded of a Subaru Impreza upon viewing pix of this upcoming machine. Boring. The Fiesta is nice, but not the styling powerhouse I thought it would be. IMHO the ... Read More

  See what I`m talking about? Here I am waiting on my new Fiesta and I posted my reasons for not wanting to wait for Fords new (C- segment) 2012 Focus and I mentioned Escort, lol. I should have remembered since I replaced my old 1998 Escort wagon with a new 2001 Focus wagon. Guess its time for my nap.

  I`d wait for the new 2012 Escort but I like the B segment size better. I've never seen any Escort larger than the current Fiesta. Maybe that's why it's not called "Escort" anymore. It's bulky -- wider than the '06 Lexus LS430 but still cost a little less: :P http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/247717/fords_new_rs_twins.html- - - "According to Kuzak, the new car will be a “global performance model” so will be sold both in Europe ...

  Well, I don`t need a Nav/mp3/internet access/nor do I feel the need to tweet/chirp/facebook/youtube/or myspace while I`m driving. I only listen to NPR radio most of the time an once in a while throw in a favorite cd now and then. Im not into social networking, I`m into AARP! I`d wait for the new 2012 Escort but I like the B segment size better. Currently driving a 2006 Kia Rio5 hatchback ... Read More
