Focus RS is Autoguide.com Car of the Year
In addition to having an engine that can burn up the road, the 2017 Ford Focus RS hatchback also delivers on top engaging handling and premium driving performance. This hot hatchback was named AutoGuide.com Car of the Year for 2017 after five days of grueling testing in the hot track and roads of Southern California. All-wheel drive and an available manual transmission were two features that the judges specifically liked.
