Overview

The 2010 Ford Focus Sedan makes for an excellent contender in the compact sedan. With 4 trims on offer, the Ford Focus Sedan has a base MSRP of $16,290, with prices going all the way up to an MSRP of $18,780, competing directly with the 2010 Kia Forte, 2010 Toyota Corolla, and the 2010 Mazda 3. Only a 2.0L Inline-4 engine is offered, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. Together, they produce 140 horsepower and 136 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 9.7 seconds, the Focus maintains a combined fuel economy of 28 MPG. Ford offers the Focus in 6 stunning colors, with the Magnetic Metallic being a particular favorite of ours. Currently, with around 469 Ford Focus available for sale, you could get an average price of $5,995. However, one can generally expect savings of $247 on average, making this a perfect time to browse for a 2010 Ford Focus Sedan.

Buying Advice

Not built for the enthusiasts, the 2010 Ford Focus is a really good sedan for families, and for those also who are first-time buyers. The engine is not that much lively, but really efficient, something that we look for in this inflated market. The cabin is spacious and coupled with the fine suspension system, provides a plush ride quality that uplifts the experience. However, due to limited features, and not-so-big rear seats, big people may face some issues there. But at the same time, it’s one of the most affordable options out there. In a nutshell, the 2010 Ford Focus is a really good choice for people looking for a budget sedan.
