2005 Ford Focus Road & Track Test

I forgot just how good Ford's entry-level Focus was until I recently took the opportunity to join the domestic automaker for a ride and drive event in Mont Tremblant, Quebec. I didn't remember that it was engineered in Europe to meet the performance-oriented demands of a populace that drives at much higher speeds on average, than those of us in North America. I had heaped it among some of its domestic small car rivals that don't offer it's better than average switchgear quality, comfortable yet supportive seats and roomy interior. Truly, my memory had failed me.
