2013 Ford FocusFor the most part, small car shoppers are no longer looking for a basic, 'economy car' transportation appliance. More likely they're seeking a vehicle that's small and economical but also stylish, tech-focused, and fun to drive—and that's what the 2013 Ford Focus is.

The perennial dogfight between BMW and Mercedes-Benz at the very top of their model ranges all but blots out most other competitors.
