My Focus hatchback was purchased in 2012. in the configuration Trend, automatic, 1.6 and 125 forces (which is a little better than the base one., before that, I only drove other people's Zhiguli, someone else's Mazda 3 and the trade wind of some ancient year was also someone else's). I chose a car for two in order to carry my ass from Moscow to a village in the Tula region, and sometimes to work, and in principle I didn’t choose it, I liked it externally and came up with the money. security package (pillows) and comfort (dimming mirror, climate and something else). along with packages, not counting gifts, as I now understand, these are not disadvantages. It keeps perfectly on the track, there is not enough motor, but with a slipper on the floor with a delay of a second, you can get away from difficult situations, since there were a minimum of such situations. The car literally presses to the asphalt at speed, side wind or trucks are not terrible. without lumbar support, but for which, again, there was enough money. The box switches in sport mode very well, but with jerks, but clearly and quickly, which was very pleasing. The interior and trunk are small, but on this car, when there were already three of us, we calmly traveled to the same Tula region and back almost every week , and this is a 640 km round trip, it’s quite comfortable for everyone to drive, I emphasize again, I don’t compare with a higher class or a more premium car brand. We also drove this car to Bulgaria with a huge amount of things 4 adults and here I realized that behind when it’s comfortable to sit in front, there’s no place at all in the back, since we had ladies with a cap and we put them back. On that trip, I understood what EPS and ABS are and how they work in real conditions when it’s night, snow and a truck or roadside and believe me, they work)) they literally hold the car. The sound insulation in the car is disgusting, but it is disgusting when you drive on bare asphalt on studded tires, as soon as you change shoes for the summer and soft rubber is generally heaven and earth. I don’t know about anyone, but regular music (not Sonya) was installed in that focus, but it doesn’t sound very bad, I understand what a good sound is, but it’s just not very bad for a regular base radio, but the doors began to rattle after a while regular loud listening, but compared to other cars of which I saddled a lot later after the purchase .. this is quite worthy, for a car in this class and for that money. In the car, there is a torpedo where there is soft plastic, somewhere hard, all the squeaks of which were not many, surprisingly, since I watched video reviews and tore my hair out, why did I buy myself such a g.. but if people after 10 t.km there everything shakes and falls off. So here are the squeaks from the doors due to the not tight fit of the plastic and in the area of \u200b\u200bthe radio where the hole for the SD otherwise nothing creaked anymore, for doors and music you need additional noise, but with the console of the radio I don’t know what and to do so that it does not creak, well, actually it irritated all this, but I got used to it. Excellent climate potsavil and forgot that you need to regulate something, tell everyone it’s the same climate, no, you type in Google climate control does not heat up or vice versa does not cool or overheat)) I know because I came across, but this is again a comparison , but it’s different for everyone. For 112 thousand km I had 1 repair, it was a repair under warranty, since oil flowed from under the sensor gasket, they changed it together with the sensor and that’s it. Ford was the first to install it) so it’s not only very convenient and at the moment it’s far from being on all cars of a different class, so I have it for 112 thousand km, it didn’t change, but it was chipped, but they were on the outside, and then nothing went on . this is a check engine light, it lights up and turns off when it needs to. For the first time on a trip to Bulgaria, somewhere in Romania they decided to rest at a gas station and refueled, and then it caught fire and the Bulgarian official Ford engineers did not find anything, saying that the gasoline is probably bad and it’s like nothing terrible “we threw everything off, go”, I didn’t tense up jokingly then, then on the way back, it caught fire again and already in Moscow, engineers from the same Ford said the same phrase, and then it was so regular that I forgot to throw off the check if the car hadn’t lost power and was driving normally (by the way, these were words the engineer of the Ford center on the phone)))) and the light went out, and then lit up, and refueled at both Gazprom and Lukoil and BP, don’t care, well, you get used to this too, although at some point there was a desire to buy a unit for a connection and reset errors and then for each time he gave 700 rubles with the understanding that for a while)) Clearance) clearance is really small)) but) if it weren’t there, there wouldn’t be such advantages in road stability. And he completely let me drive along the road after a snowfall with a rut from tractors or other more powerful machines. True, Grandfather (wife's father) always spread rot this clearance as you like or not, but he gives all the conditions to rub his belly and transfer this entire sound set to the salon, but he didn’t get stuck in anything where he rode, but I didn’t get into shit at all, but I not crazy. Well, my father-in-law’s roads are not sugar either. In general, the car was satisfied, but it has its drawbacks, but in the car that I had, they were not significant, maybe I got such a batch or something else, I don’t know, but I remember him only with good words. Subsequently, when choosing a car, I came across such things that I was in focus and did not think that there could be a problem or absence. For example, the same climate, windshields somewhere without heating at all, or only brushes, glasses fly like seeds, suspension, and so on. Yes, the car is not ideal, but with limitations, with a minimum of functions, but there is a price-quality ratio, I don’t know about the rest of the instances, but that was all good.
It's no secret that in order to save money, each car owner seeks to independently change the fuel and lubricants in his car, of course, if specialized equipment is not required. But accordingly, in order to carry out these operations, it is necessary to know how much and what to pour into a particular unit or assembly. And even those who carry out maintenance of their car in a car service, it is also necessary to know the refueling volumes so as not to be deceived. Therefore, the following table of filling volumes is provided to help and the name is better for using materials and fluids recommended for use in a 3rd generation Ford Focus.

Refueling capacities and volumes of fuels and lubricants Ford Focus 3 was last modified: May 28th, 2019 by Administrator
Ford Focus 3 has long earned the trust of most motorists. A positive attitude towards this model was formed for a reason: despite the fact that the modern car market does not experience a particular shortage in supply, finding an equally stylish and reliable car on it at an equally adequate price is, in fact, not so simple.
First car Ford Focus 3 sedan was presented to the public at the Detroit Auto Show in the winter of 2010. Serial production of this model began almost a year later: in Europe - from December 2010, and in the USA - from February 2011. The Russian assembly of the "Ford" novelty started on July 18, 2011, and the first buyers received the keys to their magnificent "iron horses" in less than two weeks after the launch of the conveyor.
In general, the Ford Focus 3 sedan has become a worthy successor to its prototypes - the first two generations. Its creative appearance, excellent dynamics, excellent handling and the widest choice of trim levels could not leave indifferent even the most demanding motorists.
In 2012, appeared in Russian car dealerships new Ford Focus 3 sedan. Outside, this one noticeably “freshened up”, acquired a more modern and aggressive “Asian” look. The driver's seat has also undergone some changes. Thanks to the well-defined profile of the chair and the developed lateral support, the person sitting behind the wheel can feel extremely comfortable. It is impossible not to pay attention to the fact that in the new variation of the popular sedan, the build quality and interior decoration have noticeably improved.
Meanwhile, the new Ford Focus 3 sedan has acquired a small drawback. In particular, the "bloated" door panels have absorbed a significant share of the car's interior space, which is why large drivers may find the updated interior cramped.
Currently, the car market has four basic configurations of the Ford Focus 3 sedan:
- Ambient;
- trend sport;

- trend.
The basic Ambient package includes:
- power windows for front doors;

Approximate cost Ford Focus 3 sedan performed by Ambient is 542,000 rubles.
The Trend package includes additional equipment for the machine:
- multifunctional audio system;
- heated exterior mirrors;
- air conditioner.
The cost of a sedan in the specified configuration varies between 609,000 - 723,000 rubles.
In turn, the Trend Sport performance complements the Trend package:
- sixteen-inch alloy wheels;
- systems and EBA;
- sports front seats;
- fog lights;
- multifunction steering wheel with leather trim;
- alarm;
- electrically heated front seats;
- rear power windows;
- on-board computer;
- side;
- adjustable lumbar support in the driver's seat.
The Ford Focus 3 2012 sedan in a "sporty" version will cost the buyer 675,000 - 857,000 rubles.
A car in the Titanium configuration with an approximate cost of 723,000 - 882,000 rubles is additionally equipped with:
- light and rain sensors;
- dual-zone climate control;
- center armrest in the back row;
- lumbar support adjustment on the front passenger seat;

In general, the Ford Focus 3 sedan is becoming more and more modern, comfortable and stylish car every year, which is incredibly popular with motorists from various countries of the world. This is tacitly confirmed by numerous awards and popularity ratings, in which the "Ford" sedan invariably occupies a "prize" position.

Owner reviews
Wound already 33,000 km. Nothing broke, the flight is normal. In general, the purchase, so far, satisfied. Here are the obvious and not very advantages and disadvantages that I have identified for myself.
Advantages:
1. Like the design a la Aston Martin;
2. Large ground clearance (170 mm);
3. Full warranty 100,000 km or 3 years (VW Group has 2 years);
4. Comfortable anatomical seats (for 10 hours behind the wheel, the back does not get tired);
5. High, for its category, quality of finishing materials;
6. Heated steering wheel;
7. SYNC - if you figure it out, then a super thing;
8. 92nd gasoline. I tried to fill in 95 and 98, I did not feel any difference either in dynamics or in consumption. It gave the impression that the engine was omnivorous;
9. Efficiency - 7.5 liters per 100 km (my Fiesta with the same engine and 250 kg less weight, for some reason consumed 1.5 liters more fuel);
10. Does not eat oil. Over 15,000 km, the dipstick drops by 1 mm.Flaws:
1. Just two airbags! SHAME to the manufacturer! I did not expect that in the golf class someone else puts less than 6 pillows in the average configuration;
2. There is no sound insulation at all. Already at 50 km / h you have to raise your voice when talking, and at 120 km / h eardrums burst. On long country trips I use earplugs (no kidding);
3. From the factory, the car has disgusting tires of an unknown manufacturer Viatti (probably very noisy because of them);
4. SYNC sometimes slows down and is buggy. At a speed of 100 km / h, voice control cannot make out commands due to noise in the cabin;
5. The manual transmission has only 5 steps. Stone Age!
6. 125 HP don't travel at all. It feels like the car has about 90 hp. There is no point in overpaying. As it turned out, Focus with 105 hp. rides exactly the same. I feel like a cheated customer.Review of Ford Focus 3 hatchback 1.6 (125 HP) MT 2015
Video review
A very comfortable lounge, excellent seats (on Titanium), there is plenty of space for a person of average build both in front and behind (so that no one writes there). The trunk with a dokatka is absolutely the same in capacity as on the previous sedan.
PowerShift box - with proper handling, it only pleases, the shifts are practically not felt, the torque converter machines are resting. Visibility suits me perfectly, I don’t crush pedestrians, the A-pillars don’t interfere.
Since 2014, the ground clearance has been made higher - it doesn’t cling to the cottage on a primer with pits anywhere. And, of course, 150 hp. - This is cool. Although in the city it is quite possible to drive on 125 hp. - enough.
Review of Ford Focus 3 hatchback 2.0 (150 hp) AT 2015
Like the car, very nice front view, but the price is too high. Of the advantages, I note the dynamics and the almost complete absence of hard plastic on the front panel.
Fuel consumption in the urban cycle is up to 15 liters and even higher (maybe this is due to running). Also frustrating is the small trunk and blocked navigation (you can unlock it for 4.5 thousand rubles).
Saniyat Taimova, review of Ford Focus 3 sedan 1.5 (150 hp) AT 2016
I took the Ford and drove the car home (200 km), again I felt the pleasure of driving. Rulitsya 5 plus, excellent suspension and Shumka. The cabin is comfortable.
The box works perfectly, quietly and quickly switches, I always put it in neutral at a traffic light. I don’t give the engine speed more than 3,500, now the mileage is already 1,700 km. Compared to the Ecosport, the engine takes longer to warm up.
The owner drives a Ford Focus hatchback 1.6 robot 2017.
I really liked the control of the power windows, the distance between the front and rear seats was optimally chosen: it is spacious both in front and behind. Noise isolation is top notch. The car heats up very quickly - in general, the winter package (the standard one that comes with Titanium) is at its best. Convenient display and steering wheel controls, excellent visibility in the rearview mirror, a lot of sockets.
But there are plenty of downsides too. The car has a low landing of the driver's seat, which is why you push it close to the steering wheel, while losing the view of the side mirrors and having a not very pleasant bend of the left leg, which is why you curse the designer in traffic jams. There is simply no glove box in the car, the pocket compartments are uncomfortable and small.
The car rides on the 95th (the 92nd is indicated on the cover, who does not know that the turbine runs on fuel not lower than the 95th - I sympathize). In terms of dynamics and consumption: in a quiet ride without fanaticism, the tachometer can not be turned more than 2.5, and, accordingly, the consumption is very small for 150 horses, while you don’t feel deprived in dynamics at all.
Review of Ford Focus sedan 1.5 (150 hp) with automatic 2017
The dynamics are simply amazing: checkers - no problem, trucks - no problem. Faster than 80% of the flow! Only the Germans go faster, as well as premium models of other brands. Slippers on the floor, and you are already ahead of the rest!
Automatic - machine gun (compared to the Chevrolet Cruze). For some it is thoughtful, but not for me. Someone is embarrassed by the turbine - it's up to you, but I took it for three years, for three years, I think that's enough. Equipment Titanium plus, there is a package "Urban 1", this is for my eyes, the rest is superfluous.
Konstantin, review of the Ford Focus 3 station wagon 1.5 (150 hp) AT 2017
How does it ride? Like a new Ford Focus! Collected, clear, understandable and even a little recklessly, as far as 125 hp allow. Exploiting not often, but the work had to go to Izhevsk. Decided to go by car, weather permitting.
For 14 hours behind the wheel, the back was not tired, but the neck was a little numb at the end of the trip. On the track, the car showed itself as expected at a height, it steers clearly and comfortably, I did not notice a reaction to rutting.
On average, I tried to keep the speed at 90-120 km / h (a letter of “happiness” for 500 rubles came from Tatarstan, I paid at a discount). The suspension works tight, but without rebound, on uneven areas at a speed of 100 km / h, the car behaves clearly and predictably.
The noise in the cabin is mainly from the tires, the engine is only audible after 4,000 rpm, I had to turn on overtaking. When overtaking in a dense stream, I had to tuck into 4th gear, it’s comfortable to drive quietly in 5th within 90-120 km / h, the engine reacts, but it’s not enough for confident overtaking.
Consumption at the time of writing this review: city - 9.5 liters, highway - 7.5 liters. Expected, but I hope after 10,000 km there will be less.
Review of Ford Focus III hatchback 1.6 (125 hp) with 2017 mechanics
The world premiere of the "global" 3rd generation Ford Focus took place in January 2010 as part of the North American Auto Show (Detroit). In the US, visitors to the Detroit exhibition saw two new body styles - the new Ford Focus 3 hatchback and sedan. The presentation of the Ford Focus 3 station wagon took place a little later, at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2010.
The new Ford Focus 3 will be produced at least at five Ford plants: Saarlius (Germany), Wayne Michigan (USA), Chongqing (China), Rayong (Thailand) and Vsevolozhsk (Russia), and sold in 130 countries around the world.
Design and dimensions
As is logical to assume, the Ford Focus 3 review shows the same front end in all three body styles (sedan, hatchback, station wagon). Almond-shaped headlights, in expensive trim levels with xenon and LED daytime running lights. A sporty-looking bumper with a serious air intake and foglights. The bumper fairing draws the eye to the front of the updated model. The air duct located on it is divided into three parts by vertical bridges, a pronounced aerodynamic skirt goes below.
Jumpers, soaring up, go to the hood with ribs. The body of the Ford Focus 3 with heavily littered A-pillars looks like swiftness. The bright elements of the sidewalls are now fashionable ribs in the upper part of the doors and stampings on the bottom.
Well-adjusted enlarged wheel arches do not spoil the new harmonious silhouette. Body hatchback Ford Focus 3 - with a domed roof. The sedan and station wagon versions of the 2012 Ford Focus have a more traditional flat roof line, but the window line rises aft on all models.
The rear part is perhaps the most beautiful in a hatchback, the original complex-shaped overall ceiling lamps go into the wings with a narrow splash. A neat tailgate borders below the bumper, in expensive versions with a diffuser. The Focus 3 sedan is distinguished by a stern with large chandeliers of dimensions, also not devoid of originality and style - a high-lying small trunk lid, a powerful rear bumper, solidly swollen rear fenders and wheel arches. The new 3rd generation Ford Focus station wagon at the back is certainly not a design masterpiece, but everything is in its place. Large, almost vertical tailgate, nice marker lights.
In all bodies of the Ford Focus 3 new, the image of the conceptual Iosis Max can be traced with its kinetic design.
The description of the third Focus will, of course, be incomplete without specifying the dimensions in all body variants. The novelty has grown in size:
- External dimensions dimensions Ford Focus 3 hatchback, sedan, station wagon are: length - 4358, 4534, 4556 mm, width for all body types is 1823 mm (with mirrors 2010 mm), height - 1484, 1484, 1505 mm, base dimensions 2648 mm.
- Clearance(ground clearance) Ford Focus 3 - 140 mm (for Russian versions, the clearance is increased to 165 mm).
- Drag coefficient Cx - 0.274 - 0.295 (the lowest for the new Focus sedan).
Interior: ergonomics, materials and interior quality
The third generation Focus inside meets its passengers with a kinetic design, the interior of the Ford Focus 3 is decorated with quality materials, meticulous ergonomics and a high level of assembly. Steering wheel with four spokes with characteristic tides in the grip area, optimal shape ( steering wheel adjustable in height and depth). It's just nice to take the wheel, a lot of function control buttons are located on the "steering wheel" logically and simply. The dashboard with two deep wells of the original configuration and an on-board computer display, the device and color graphics are impressive.
Front dashboard and center console of a massive shape with complex lines and curves. Deflectors of the ventilation system of large size, regular rectangular shape. The gearshift lever is in a verified place, in a sporty way, in the immediate vicinity of the pilot, there is a parking brake handle (you don’t have to reach for it).
Front seats with an excellent profile, moderately hard padding and excellent lateral support. The large center console frightens with a huge number of buttons, the Focus 3 interior demonstrates such an amount of electronics, as if it were a mini spaceship (expensive equipment). The tunnel between the front seats is high and wide, even drivers of average build feel squeezed between it and the door. In front, the interior is like in a sports car, all the authorities responsible for the controls hint at the Focus WRC rally. It is inconvenient for second-row passengers to get into the cabin (narrow doorway and high threshold), the back row allows you to comfortably accommodate only two.
Trunk Ford Focus 3 hatchback has from 277 to 1062 liters of usable volume.
Trunk volume Focus 3 sedan allows you to transfer 372 liters of cargo, and the station wagon trunk boasts 476 liters, folding the back row we get 1502 liters.
Technical and running characteristics
The new Focus 3, sold in Russia, is equipped with four gasoline and one diesel units.
- Engines gasoline: 1.6 liters. (85 hp) with 5 mech. checkpoint
- and 1.6 liters. (105 hp) - 1.6 liters. (125 hp) - 2.0 liters. (150 hp) with 5 manual transmission or automatic transmission with 6 steps PowerShift.
- Diesel 2.0 l. (140 hp) with 6 PowerShift automatic transmissions.
The front and rear suspension is independent, MacPherson struts in front, and a multi-link rear with the Torque Vectoring Control system (slows down the inside rear wheel for better corner entry). Disc brakes, electric power steering and a lot of electronic assistants, although they are only available as options.
New Ford Focus 3 2012 release on the road behaves stably and predictably, the test shows a sharp and short steering wheel (2.6 turns). A comfortable suspension is indifferent to poor road surfaces, sometimes there is not enough energy intensity (it breaks through large pits and potholes). The car is knocked down and solid, it allows you to quickly take turns without the risk of flying off the road, it holds a straight line for five points. The experience of the Ford WRC racing team was not in vain and is embodied in the 2012-2013 Focus civilian, which is rightfully considered one of the best offers in the European C-class. We do not recommend taking Focus 3 with weak 1.6 liter engines. (85 hp and 105 hp), owner reviews indicate that they are not always happy with their choice, note problems with dynamics and poor acceleration. The optimal choice is 1.6 liters. (125 hp) with 5 manual transmissions.
Complete set 2012-2013
In the modest initial configuration of the Ford Focus 3 Ambiente, even air conditioning head unit CD MP3 with USB and 6 speakers, 3.5" monochrome display on the dashboard, ESP (stabilization system), EBA (Emergency Brake Assist), Torgue Vectoring Control (electronic differential lock simulator) and side airbags are offered at an additional cost. Base Ford Focus 3 Ambiente has power mirrors, ABC with EBD, Ford Easy Fuel filling system (without tank cap), front power windows, driver's seat lift, telescopic steering column adjustment, two pillows, central locking and 16-inch iron wheels.
The Titanium version is really richly equipped: disc size- light-alloy R16, light and rain sensors, interior lighting with LED lamps, dual-zone climate control, engine start with a button, an assistant when starting uphill, adjustable lumbar support on heated front sports seats, alarm system with volume and perimeter sensors. But even the most expensive equipment did not get rid of paid options: electric driver's seat, bi-xenon light and LED running lights, LCD displays on the dashboard and center console (4.2 and 5 inches), cruise control, navigation, rear view camera, automatic valet and more.
Price for 2012-2013
Year by year, prices for new cars are rising even without updates. How much does a 2012 Ford Focus 3 cost? The cost of a hatchback in Russia starts from 532,000 rubles for a “bare” Ambiente 1.6-liter package. (85 hp) with 5 manual transmissions. The price for the Ambiente sedan is 10,000 rubles more expensive. Station wagon in Titanium version 2.0 l. (150 hp) with 6 PowerShift automatic transmissions with a full range of additional options (leather interior, R17 wheels, a lot of electronic assistants) will cost more than 1 million rubles.
