The Focus and the Elantra are not only similar in the performance but in the dimensions as well. The rear outward visibility in this car is less compared to the rivals. The arching roofline blends in with the curves and creases and enhances the looks of this car. You have a sharp line along the side that runs from the headlamps to the taillights along with the door handles, and we really like it. There are big wheel arches, and they do bulge out. Sync voice-activated phone and audio player interface.Some important infotainment features include: The optional MyFord Touch package offers navigation, 10 speakers Sony system, and an 8-inch touchscreen system. The SE trim offers 6 speakers and Ford's Sync voice-activated phone and audio player interface.

The standard equipment on the car is limited to a CD player, audio jack, and 4 speakers. The controls are not easy to identify or use as a lot of times we found ourselves pressing the wrong buttons as well. The infotainment system is pretty advanced, but using it takes a while. How intuitive is the 2013 Ford Focus’s infotainment system? The Focus also gets a healthy 13.2 cubic feet storage, which is on par with the class standards. The Elantra overall is much bigger and roomy in the front. The rear space in the Corolla is just massive, and the legroom is ample. The rear legroom is less compared to the rivals, but you can fit 6 feet tall passengers well. The front seats are very comfortable and supportive and offer good headroom and legroom. The seating in the Ford is very comfortable and does justice over long-distance travel. The sedan comes with a cargo capacity of 13.2 cubic feet. They are complicated, and not easy to use. The only issue we had was with the layout of the controls. The materials inside are of high quality. This provides the car with a range of 322/446 (city/highway) miles. It also has the smallest tank capacity at 12.4 gallons. The Focus, however, has the least economy in this test, at 26/36 (city/highway0. It offers a range of 356/448 (city/highway) miles. This gets it pretty close to the Elantra in the city range. The Corolla does offer an economy of 27/34 (city/highway) and is aided by its 13.2-gallon tank. It has a tank capacity of 12.8 gallons, which converts into a range of 358 miles in the city and 485 miles on the highway. The Elantra is the one which offers the highest economy at 28/38 (city/highway). We, however, feel that this will depend a lot on how you drive, and you might be able to extract better than what is on paper. The Ford Focus actually offers a good economy, but the other two are just that slightly better. The economies of all the 3 cars in the city are very much similar to each other, but on the highway, the difference is around 2 mpg between them. The top speed is also lower than the other two, at 117 mph. The Corolla, on the other hand, is very leisurely and takes one of the slowest times to 0-60 in this segment, at 9.6 seconds. The Ford times a 0-60 mph in 8.2 seconds while the Hyundai does it in 8.1 seconds.

They come very close to each other and vary by 0.2 seconds max. The Focus and the Elantra are pretty much on par with their performance figures. The sedan touches the 60 mph mark in 8.2 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 16.2 seconds.

We should tell you that the manual gearbox is much better than the automatic one. For the Titanium, we recommend the Navigation system and the Titanium Handling package. We do recommend the Appearance package and the MyFord Touch package for the SE. They have better exterior and interior colors, and also, you can have the option of an automatic suspension. They are super feature-rich, and you also can extract a better economy.

We have to recommend either the SE or the Titanium. Features such as powered front windows, locks and mirrors, tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel, 15-inch steel wheels are offered as standard across all trims. The price starts from $16,200 for the S variant and goes all the way up to $23,200 for the top-of-the-line Titanium variant. Ford offers this car in 3 trims: S, SE, and Titanium.
