When you think of speed, the Ford Focus is one of the last things that comes to mind. Available in hatchback and sedan, the Focus actually has a lot to offer those who are seeking speed and a newer design. 2015 Ford Focuses are available for under $20,000 and offer a 160-horsepower engine. This helps it get 36 mpg on the highway, making it perfect for long trips. Several styles and models are available, allowing you to easily find something that suits your personality. Older versions, such as the 2005 Focus ST, offered top speeds of up to 152 miles per hour. With a great new price tag and used prices even cheaper, the Ford Focus is definitely a vehicle that won’t break the bank.
