2017 Ford Focus Hatch Loses a Pedal

It disappeared in the night. There was no fanfare. No protest. No grand announcement. Barely anyone even noticed. They all just kept buying amorphous transportation blobs with available all-wheel drive. No one took the time to look at the options list on the compact car bolted to the dealership floor.

That’s right. In the United States of America, the 2017 Ford Focus hatchback is no longer available with a manual transmission outside of the ST and RS.

Jeff Nice to see a more affordable vehicle. For the price it is a lot of vehicle for the money. Dodge needs a vehicle like this.
Arthur Dailey Coincidentally we saw a Mazda B series pick-up just the other day in the parking lot of a golf course and I could not help but mention it to my playing partners, both of whom are 'car guys'. One mentioned that his cousin has a 20+ year old base model Ford Ranger that they use for trips to the building and garden supply stores.
Tassos THIS MAKES MY 2007 REBUILT BENZ LOOK VERY OBSOLETE. COMPARED TO MY 1991 ACCORD, THAT RISKED DRIVING UNTIL 2016, THIS IS TRULY NEXT LEVEL. IMMIGRANTS LIKE ME ASPIRE TO BUDGET FRIENDLY BECAUSE WE NEED TO MAXIMIZE OUT DOLLAR IN THE FACE OF CONSERVATIVES POLITICIANS DESPISING US AND TRYING TO KEEP US SUBSERVIENT. POLITICIAN CURRENCY!
Arthur Dailey I wish that manufacturers and reviewers would just ignore 'fully dressed' vehicles and instead test drive the 'base' or the highest selling configuration. Or as we used to say in the 'old days', 'why purchase a loaded Malibu when for the same price you can get a lower end Impala'? I do admire that Nissan has stuck with a 4 cylinder engine. When many others have gone to a 3 cylinder. And I believe that even the new Rogue has a 3 cylinder turbo as its base engine?
Kcflyer So..... Nicer interior than Tesla put's in any vehicle. Interesting.
