So, I used to think that the best feature on a Focus, other than a turbo, was a sunroof ( something my Doctor said years ago to me....). however, since owning my Fat 2012 Focus, I have discovered that heated seats are the best feature any Focus owner can have. Or maybe my age is just catching up with me..... What do you guys think the best feature on your Focus, Mustang, Fusion, etc, is?

I LOVE my sunroof... but I also love my leather seats. My heated seats don't work and I haven't really missed them from my old ride.
the sunroof on the other hand... it makes driving just THAT much more enjoyable.

I like how easy it is to work on. I have done most of my own wrenching, including swapping out the entire rear sub-frame in the driveway with only hand tools all by myself. I like the fact that there are many forums with tons of info from enthusiasts who have done it all before.
As a member has said before "I love my Ford Focus". Right Steve?

I, too, love both of my Ford Focii's. Otherwise, I would have bought a cheaper more fuel efficient Hyundai Elentra.

^^this, except I was doing it on the street for the most part.
No one expects a ford focus to take their doors. you don't know how many times I would get followed after a door collection run so that person could find out what was under the hood.

I"d have to say from my yellow focus, it was the way I had it looking before it was written off, with the massive moonroof, and rear foglights, and the fact it was a sedan and yellow.
as for the current one, knowing that the list of repairs left on it is down to two. I'm loving the SVT seats, and the mini look of the silver capped mirrors, and the fact I'm getting good gas mileage.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

When I had the Focus sedan, putting the SVT suspension in it made the car an absolutely joy to fling around.
The Fusion? Between SYNC & AWD I don't know which I'd hate to lose more.
AWD let me take out a CTS-V in the rain at a stoplight, that sold me
