If you’re a younger driver, first-time buyer, or commuter who needs something that’s easy to live with and won’t drain your wallet every week, the 2014 Ford Focus SE checks the boxes that matter most: efficiency, safety, and modern tech. Under the hood, the 2.0L GDI Ti-VCT engine paired with front-wheel drive gives you responsive daily power without feeling like a slow “penalty box,” and it does it with fuel economy that makes sense for real life—up to 27/36/30 mpg (city/highway/combined) on certain automatic configurations. Whether you’re commuting to work, running classes, or shuttling kids and groceries, this Focus is built to keep costs predictable while still being comfortable and confident in traffic.
Safety is a big deal when you’re buying a compact car on a budget, and the Focus has proof you can point to. It earned IIHS Top Safety Pick recognition (Focus sedan) and a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from NHTSA, backed by a high-strength steel structure, multiple airbags, and AdvanceTrac® stability control. Inside, available features like Ford SYNC® with 911 Assist® keep you connected hands-free, while Active Park Assist (when equipped) helps take the stress out of tight city parking situations. And if you’re looking at a hatchback model, the Focus SE adds real versatility with around 23.8 cu. ft. of cargo space, making it a smart pick for commuters who also haul gear, sports equipment, or weekend supplies.
