Mid-Tuesday morning, just as the sun has established its presence in the sky, its rays managed to fall upon speeding marvels of engineering on the North Luzon Expressway as a group of Ford’s fresh 2016 Focus cars made their way up north during the Ford Focus Media Day Drive. Hosted by Ford Philippines, the event was aimed at celebrating Ford’s more than capable compact car; the 2016 Ford Focus stays true to the tried and tested (and much upgraded) Ford technology under its hood while showing off the confidently sleek but classic, elegant yet aggressive, and sensual lines we have come to know of the newer Ford models.
Ford was able to hold a relaxed drive in the capable and surprisingly practical 1.5L EcoBoost engine plus the 6-speed automatic transmission of the Focus; giving several auto-enthusiasts and analysts driving the cars more-than-enough power needed through the long stretches of our northern expressways; all the while being well taken-cared of inside the dual-zone climate controlled cabin that isolates the Focus’ interiors from the harsh natural elements, not without the sophisticated SYNC 2 giving the riders an infotainment and connectivity system that (as the name suggests) synchronizes with your mobile device that keeps music, calls, emails and text messages just a voice command away.
