In revamping the new Focus, Ford paid particularly close attention to fuel economy, design, individuality, connectivity and,  last but not least - safety. As it turns out, the American automaker succeeded in making one of only six cars named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), within the small car category.

To earn the IIHS Top Safety Pick designation, the 2012 Ford Focus had to get a top "Good" rating in a series of four crash tests: front, side, rear and roof-strength/rollover. The small car also had to come standard with electronic stability control. Needless to say, it passed with flying colors, giving prospective Ford buyers just one more reason explore the 2012 Ford Focus at Spradley Barr of Greeley  4901 29th St Greeley, CO 80634 today.

Even Edmunds.com, who doesn't bestow praise freely says, "After a very long wait, American buyers finally get a world-class car from a Detroit label. The 2012 Ford Focus is the segment's new benchmark."¹ Among the new Focus' "pros" named by Edumds.com are: "nimble handling, refined ride, stylish and well-made interior, lively engine, smart automatic transmission, abundant list of upscale and high-tech options."²
