2017 Ford Focus vs 2017 Honda Civic

But only the best (read: Ford) make affordable models that people actually want to drive thanks to powerful and efficient engine options, spacious and comfortable interiors and extensive lists of advanced new safety, technology, comfort and convenience features. For proof of that, you need look no further than the 2017 Ford Focus, which we have right here at Brandon Ford in Tampa, FL.
