It looks as if it\u2019s in perpetual motion. There are a full seven trim-levels available under the Focus umbrella, and there\u2019s a broad selection of standard and available wheels that give each car a unique look. No matter what, you can always choose the right Focus for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/Mz8xHh\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-547\" src=\"#BLOGPATH#\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/focus-exterior-2.jpg\" alt=\"focus exterior 2\" width=\"957\" height=\"538\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.leithcars.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/focus-exterior-2.jpg 957w, http:\/\/blog.leithcars.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/focus-exterior-2-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/blog.leithcars.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/focus-exterior-2-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 957px) 100vw, 957px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Performance-wise, the 2014 Focus comes standard with a 2.0L direct-injection I-4 flex-fuel engine. This base option provides drivers with remarkable fuel efficiency and a car that is fun to drive as well. Those who want an extra boost need only opt for the 2.0L EcoBoost engine, which comes in the Focus ST. Electric power-assisted steering and AdvanceTrac Electronic Stability Control smooth out the edges and greatly improve the Focus\u2019s handling and comfort while you\u2019re blazing down the highway. For the real enthusiasts, there is also the available PowerShift Automatic Transmission with SelectShift technology that gives you all the precision and control of a manual without the hassle of a clutch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/Mz8xHh\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-546\" src=\"#BLOGPATH#\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/focus-interior.jpg\" alt=\"focus interior\" width=\"956\" height=\"538\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.leithcars.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/focus-interior.jpg 956w, http:\/\/blog.leithcars.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/focus-interior-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/blog.leithcars.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/focus-interior-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 956px) 100vw, 956px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">Inside, the Focus once again demonstrates its versatility, with interior options ranging from leather upholstery with French seams to RECARO sport seating to the ecoconscious materials of the Focus Electric.
