Ford Focus 
In 2013, Ford adds the very sporty Focus ST to the line-up. Powered by a 2.0l EcoBoost and available with a six-speed manual gearbox only, it is able to reach 100 km/h in 6.5 sec. The rest of the range continues in S, SE and Titanium trims, with the traditional 2.0l four-cylinder mated to either a fivespeed gearbox or six-speed automatic. The S version starts at $17,649 and an electric Focus is available from $42,849.
