Welcome! I too own a new 2012 focus. I have to agree, it is an awesome looking vehicle, sedan and hatch. One thing I have found that it is a very different vehicle from any previous Focus, a more "mature" vehicle, that is still fun to drive. I have also found since owning the car, mid-July, that the advertised gas mileage will never be realized, ( I think they use 90 year old's who can barely push the gas pedal to get the numbers), but that's the same for all manufacturers. The winter isn't great for any mileage testing either. I have gotten up tp 730 kms per tank a few times when doing mostly highway driving, and going only to the posted speeds. However, the drop off in mileage isn't as bad as the Elantra. What model and options did you get?
