We’re also not sold on the six-speed dual-clutch automatic that pairs with the 2.0-liter engine on most models.

The 2.0-liter four-cylinder is not as punchy as the turbo fours available in many competitors, while the tiny turbo 1.0-liter three-cylinder is overmatched by the Focus’s size, requiring more than 9.0 seconds to get the car to 60 mph when equipped with the manual transmission and more than 10.0 seconds when paired with the optional automatic. What We Don’t Like: Neither of the Focus’s powertrains are particularly inspiring. Sync 3, which is standard on SEL and Titanium trim levels, also supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. The available Sync 3 touchscreen infotainment system is refreshingly easy to use, with well-organized menus and large onscreen buttons. We think the clean exterior styling has aged well against extroverted new competition such as the latest Honda Civic. It’s refined, too, with a composed ride and a relatively isolated interior that make it feel more expensive than it is. What We Like: The Focus remains one of the more fun-to-drive cars in its segment, with quick steering and a responsive, well-balanced chassis. The SEL trim level is a new addition for the hatch, slotting in between the SE and Titanium models.
In fact, save for the enthusiast-oriented ST and RS models, the Focus hatchback is now automatic-only, and it’s no longer offered with the more efficient turbo 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine. What’s New: Ford has simplified the Focus lineup, eliminating certain configurations, including our favorite, the hatchback with the 2.0-liter engine and a manual transmission.
