Detailed analysis of the Ford Focus Berlina Trend 1.6 Flexifuel 120 CV (2012-2013)
General description
The 2011 Ford Focus is not just a car; it's the continuation of a legend. In this third generation, Ford raised the stakes with a car that promised not only to be practical and reliable but also exciting to drive. The Sedan version with the 1.6 Flexifuel 120 HP engine represents an almost perfect balance, offering the versatility of using both gasoline and ethanol, a nod to a more sustainable future in an era of change.
Driving experience
Getting behind the wheel of this Focus is rediscovering the pleasure of driving. Its 120 horsepower, delivered linearly and progressively by the naturally aspirated engine, invites you to play with the five-speed manual gearbox. It's not a radical sports car, but its chassis is a work of art. The multi-link rear suspension glues you to the asphalt in every curve, transmitting a confidence and agility that make you smile. It's a car that feels alive, communicative, and always ready to offer more than you expect on a daily commute.
Design and aesthetics
Ford's 'Kinetic Design' reaches its maturity in this Focus. Its sharp lines, trapezoidal grille, and muscular silhouette give it a road presence that intimidates its rivals. Inside, the qualitative leap is enormous. The dashboard, with its wraparound design inspired by an airplane cockpit, makes you feel at the center of the action. Although some found it busy, the feeling is of being in a higher-category car, with good quality materials and a solid fit.
Technology and features
Beyond its brilliant chassis, this Focus incorporated driver-focused technologies. The electric power-assisted steering, precise and with just the right weight, is a clear example. However, the real technological gem is its Flexifuel engine. This ability to run on E85 bioethanol not only offered an economical and ecological alternative but also demonstrated Ford's vision for the future, adapting to new energy demands without sacrificing performance or reliability.
Competition
In such a competitive segment, the Focus had to measure up against giants like the Volkswagen Golf, the SEAT León, or the Opel Astra. While the Golf boasted finishes and sobriety, and the León a more Latin character, the Focus established itself as the undisputed benchmark in dynamic behavior. It was the car for those who not only wanted to get from point A to B but also intensely enjoy every meter of the journey, feeling a special connection with the machine.
Conclusion
This Ford Focus is much more than a simple compact car. It's a statement of intent, a car that proves daily practicality is not at odds with a passion for driving. Its exceptional chassis, a reliable and versatile engine thanks to Flexifuel technology, and a design that has aged with dignity, make it an incredibly smart and emotional choice. It's a car that takes care of you during the week and excites you on the weekend.
