2014 Ford Focus SE Hatchback review notes

It's no wonder that our beloved FFE is such a fun ride when even the base model of the ICE version gets great reviews from an automotive enthusiast magazine.

Ever since the redesign in 2012 the Focus line has been getting great reviews (which is why in every FFE review you see something to the effect of: "Ford started with the great 2012 Focus...").

It is unfortunate that they got rid of the SEL trim level in 2013--they must not have sold a lot of them. My ICE Focus is an SEL: Just enough goodies on it to make it nice but not for the max $$ like the Titanium trim level.

You can, however, option up an SE to the point of the old SEL trim level so I guess it is a wash...
