The Ford Focus is a compact car (C-segment in Europe) manufactured by the Ford Motor Company since 1998. Ford began sales of the Focus to Europe in July 1998 and in North America during 1999 for the 2000 model year.
In Europe, North and South America, and South Africa, the Focus replaced the various versions of the Ford Escort and Ford Laser sold in those markets. In Asia and Australasia, it replaced the Ford Laser. As of the first half of 2012, the Focus surpassed the Toyota Corolla to become the world's best selling automobile nameplate.
Ford of Europe introduced the Focus in 1998 to the European market as a replacement for the Ford Escort. The decision to name the new car the "Ford Focus" was made in early 1998, as Ford's overheads had been planning to keep the "Escort" nameplate for its new generation of small family cars. A last minute problem arose in July 1998 when a Cologne court, responding to a case brought by the publisher Burda, ordered Ford to avoid the name "Focus" for the cars in the German market since the name was already taken by one of its magazines (Focus). This eleventh hour dispute was resolved, however, and the car was launched with the name Focus. The Focus MK1 was awarded the 1999 European Car of the Year award. There is also a tale floating around certain editions of Motor Trend magazine that Ford executive Jac Nasser actually made the decision of the name Focus the night of that year's Geneva Auto Show because he was annoyed that one of the other names under consideration, Fusion (not the same as the mid-size automobile Ford Fusion), had leaked to the media.

The Focus RS is a car of expectation and history, but it drops into a market that does have excellent competition. We gathered the three other AWD, 300hp cars available for around $40k, and went to a favorite road in search of fun. That means we dusted off an Evo X to stand alongside the Golf R and enduring STI in this showdown with the shiny new, nitrous blue, RS. Rarely have we been this excited for a comparison. And after driving them back to back, the results were not what we expected. Subscribe for Videos on Thursdays!

On this episode of Head 2 Head, presented by Tire Rack (http://www.tirerack.com), Jason Cammisa and Jonny Lieberman set out to find the ultimate hot hatch. These cars feature plenty of power, grip, agility, and, most importantly, fun — and who doesn’t love fun? There’s perhaps no quicker, more enjoyable way to bomb down a winding road than in a turbocharged, all-wheel-drive compact hatchback. Volkswagen invented the hot-hatch genre in the mid-1970s with the front-wheel-drive GTI. Adding all-wheel drive and more power to the GTI begets the 292-hp Golf R, which makes it the fastest iteration of the car that won Motor Trend’s 2015 Car of the Year award. But it’s got a new competitor, and, looking at the numbers, the Ford Focus RS could be king of the segment. With 350 hp from a 2.3-liter tur...
The Ford Focus RS is one of the most eagerly anticipated cars of 2016. With its £29,995 price tag, 345bhp, four-wheel-drive and Drift mode this is one of the best real-world performance cars money can buy. Henry Catchpole explains why.

When friends hand you the keys to their new Ford Focus RS and Subaru Impreza STI there's only one thing to do: TRACK BATTLE! We test both at the limit at Toronto Motorsports Park to determine which is fastest, and then NV Auto pro drifter Riley Sexsmith throws the Focus RS into Drift Mode and sees what kind of skids he can do. Special thanks to NV Auto for putting this together, and to Julien for letting us rip on his shiny new STI. Bros don't let bros drive stock for long though, so you may just see a Part 2 to this battle once both cars are tuned up a bit.

A ford Focus RS lives up to the hype but this is a car that needs a track to shine. On public roads, the car is a little useless.

It's all done, this mega tour is now compete, over 10 weeks on the roads around Europe, 12 countries visited and many thousands of kilometers driven! To conclude things, I take the Ford Focus RS for an outing through the Cairngorms to Glenshee Ski Centre and Braemar Castle - experiencing some amazing roads in the process, getting lost and taking pictures. It seems like yesterday that this trip started, yet covering everything from my time with Ring Garage at the Nurburgring, Fuel Faction ENA, the McLaren tour in Spain, Hamilton tour in Sardinia, a vast number of flights, press drives, and car events it has been so incredibly busy. Next I'll be heading back home, catching up with real life, and preparing for what comes next - while the cars all start to return to base too. Thanks for wat...
