How would you take <em>your</em> <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/focus">2012 Ford Focus</a>? The time to decide is at hand because Ford has just turned on the Focus configurator. The compact car comes in two flavors; sedan and hatchback, with the sedan receiving one lower trim in the form of the base S model. The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/10/04/2012-ford-focus-pricing-revealed-starts-at-16-270/">sedan starts at $16,270 and the base SE hatchback is priced at $18,065</a>.<br />
<br />
If it were our money, we would start with the 2012 Ford Focus SE hatchback and build from there. This way we get to choose the five-speed manual gearbox. Throw in the Rapid Spec 203A option package, a moonroof, the SE Sport Package for a slightly more aggressive look and then paint it Kona Blue Metallic.
