Today the third generation of "Ford Focus" made in Vsevolzhsk, and another four automotive plants in the world. Look at the key features of the car the "Ford focus 3" clearance (clearance), technical characteristics of the motor, design, etc.
All three models have the same front part of the body. Broad, aggressive air intake on the bottom is noticeable aerodynamic skirt. Regardless, see you on the sedan, wagon or hatchback, you will enjoy the almond-shaped headlamps. In the maximum configuration provides for the xenon and led light daytime running lights. Looks simple, but at the same time quite impressive. Most importantly, the quality of light is at a very high level.
The third generation of "Focus" were significantly enlarged wheel arches, although this did not spoil the harmonious appearance of the car.

The car's Width, regardless of the body, is 1823 mm including mirrors is of the order of mm. 2010 with regard to height, the hatchback and sedan have a 1484 mm, and the wagon and there was higher - 1505 mm. In General, significant changes in terms of dimensions we have not noticed. But the aerodynamic performance is slightly improved and amounted to 0.27-0.30 CX.
In countries such as the USA or Germany, the roads throughout the country have approximately the same good condition. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about Russia. For this simple reason 3rd "Focus", which is sold in Russia, has increased ground clearance. Clearance is 165 mm, while the other models had only 150 mm.
Not to say that 165 mm is sufficient for off-road driving, but it's better than nothing. It is possible to feel confident not on the best road surface and not be afraid to catch the bottom. However, it is desirable to use the engine under cover, to avoid unpleasant consequences from the pits on the roads. In General, the "Ford focus 3", clearance (clearance) of which we reviewed, is quite passable car. He does not cling to the bottom of everything.
In Russia the car is offered in 4 trim levels. Let's look at each of these in more detail.
Special attention should be given to how the designers and engineers approached the design of the interior. The first thing that catches the eye is the dashboard. At first the impression of a space ship, then used to and everything falls into place. As for ergonomics, it is all done simply, but at the same time, the controls are placed conveniently for the driver.
The Quality of the cabin is the car the "Ford focus 3" (sedan, wagon and hatchback) at a high level. The Central console and the dashboard has a large number of complex lines that only gives grace. Striking and color control devices. Comfortable adjustable brightness. Long trip eyes are not tired. In the cabin clearly discern a hint of sporty character. Take the location of the checkpoint handle which is in close proximity to the driver's hand that is typical of a sports car. Comfortable and the controls for cruise and audio on the steering wheel.
Another Important factor is that the "Ford focus 3" sedan, like other models of the body,delivers a huge amount of fun its owner while riding. For example, the front seats have side support and have a comfortable profile. So even after a long trip you will not feel tired.
In this class of car, what is "Ford focus 3" reviews, which in most cases is positive, the developers give little thought to the comfort of the rear passengers. Fit inconvenient, as the doorway is narrow. The three of us to sit also uncomfortable, as there isn't enough space, but for two people the space at the time. However, to drive in the car pleasant and comfortable. There are obvious allusions to the fact that the model sports. In the maximum configuration a lot of options, so the center console scares a large number of buttons.
The Luggage compartment of the sedan is 372 liters. It's not much, but enough for transportation of various things in everyday life. Universal also boasts of 472 liters. And if you add up the number of seats, we are unable to 1502 liters of usable volume. This is quite an impressive figure. In the hatchback space is the least of 277 liters. If you remove a row of seats, then the total you can get about 1060 litres.
From the foregoing it can be concluded that the best way to transport goods fits universal, and less hatchback and sedan. As a tractor a car can not work, but for things more than enough.
Running truly American. Independent suspension front and rear, as well as the TVC system for a comfortable entry into the turn enable you to feel confident on the road. Poor road surface almost invisibly when you go to "Ford". As for power consumption, then large pits are breakouts, but it is not critical.
The steering Wheel is short and rather sharp - 2.61 turnover. Integrity and bytosti machines along with high handling and auxiliary systems allow you to clearly and confidently enter into the turns even at high speeds. Here is such a car "Ford focus 3". The price of this model allows to say that this is one of the best on the market today. This is proved not only cost, but build quality. As for the powertrain, mounted on "Ford focus 3", the reviews say that the motors 85 and 105 HP is not happy with the dynamics and power. But the engine is 125 HP for the soul to beginners and experienced drivers.
Here we examined the technical characteristics of the car "Ford focus 3". Ground clearance (clearance), powertrain, ergonomics, etc. As you've probably noticed, the American car production is an excellent budget solution. In addition, the class is the best option.
As you can tell from the review, good effect on "Ford focus 3" restyling. The cars of this brand are notable not only for comfort, but also high reliability parts. Factory elements of the "run" long enough, than allow to save essentially the budget of the owner. A nice surprise and the price of spare parts. This applies to chassis components and engine systems.
Here we discussed the car the "Ford focus 3". The price of this model currently is approximately 1 000 000-1 200 000 rubles. Given the number of options, comfortable ride and reliability, this is an acceptable amount, which is not a pity to pay for such a unit. It's better not to spare money and to take the car to the maximum, or at least in medium configuration. So you get a full package of options provided by the factory.
