Walk Around

The Ford Focus was a head-turner when it was first introduced in 2000. Its styling at the time was fresh and innovative. Styling revisions for 2005 gave it a more refined, more grownup appearance, but it continues with same general theme of sweeping arcs and crisp creases that we've grown accustomed to.

Interior

2007 Ford Focus

The interior features a traditional, clean and stylish look. The instrument panel is symmetrical with the driver and passenger areas divided by two rectangular climate control registers, the hazard switch and a shallow center stack for the audio and climate controls.

For 2007, new sport seats with leather seating surfaces and contrasting leather inserts are available on the ST sedan as well as the SE and SES models (except wagon). This seat treatment is part of the new Interior Upgrade Package ($495), which also includes two-tone, leather-wrapped steering wheel with Charcoal upper and Flint lower to match the seating surfaces; a satin finish on the center stack surround and instrument-panel cluster gauge surround; and black sill plates with exposed Focus in body color.

Street Appearance packages are offered for the ST sedan and the ZX3, ZX4 and ZX5 SE and SES models to give the Focus a more sporty, tuner look. The Sport Appearance packages feature spoilers as the focal point, along with unique front fascia and rear bumper treatments and bright exhaust tips.

On two-tone models, the lower portions of the instrument panel and door trim panels are finished in a lighter shade for a more open feeling. Cloth and leather upholstery are offered. The ZX4 ST has unique woven fabrics or suede seating surfaces surrounded with leather trim.

A standard floor console houses the shifter, two cupholders, the parking brake, and controls for options such as traction control. An overhead console includes a sunglasses holder and a space for a garage door opener. Storage is also provided in the front doors, which feature molded-in bottle holders.

A CD player with MP3 capability is standard on all models. Models with the optional six-disc CD changer feature audio controls on the steering wheel.
