Toyota Corolla vs Ford Focus

If you are shopping for a low-priced new small car, you certainly have plenty of viable options. With so many affordable options on the market today, how do you choose? Starting your car search with the world's top-selling nameplate of all time -- the Toyota Corolla -- is always a smart decision. The Corolla has been a compact car favorite for decades, thanks to its affordable price, dependable powertrain and well-appointed cabin. Phillips Toyota would like to invite drivers near Leesburg, FL to visit our Leesburg, FL dealership to see the well-equipped 2017 Toyota Corolla. In fact, you can shop for a 2017 Toyota Corolla in Leesburg, FL today, by shopping online or visiting our dealership.

Let's see how the 2017 Toyota Corolla compares to one of its popular rivals, the Ford Focus.

Toyota is a firm believer that compact car drivers should not have to sacrifice comfort or convenience. That is why the 2017 Corolla S Plus has been fitted with automatic climate control as a standard feature, and the convenient Smart Key System is optional. The Ford Focus S sedan is not offered with automatic climate control, nor a Smart Key System. To get similar features on Ford's compact car, shoppers would need to upgrade to a Focus SE or Titanium model, costing thousands of dollars more.

Toyota is one of the leaders in offering safety features at an affordable price, and the 2017 Corolla highlights this once again. Anti-lock disc brakes (ABS) at all four wheels help the Corolla stop quickly in any weather or road conditions. Ford's Focus S sedan comes equipped with disc brakes, but only on the front wheels; on the back wheels, the base model Focus S sedan features the less than ideal stopping power of drum brakes. To get the braking confidence of 4-wheel disc brakes like that on the 2017 Corolla, Focus drivers would have to upgrade to a more expensive trim level within the Focus lineup.
