We ended up getting a 2013 Ford Focus Titanium 5-Door. I did go with Carmax. It was in our price range and I did get a good rate on it. It's fully loaded and the wife ended up liking it more than I thought she would.

Make sure to snag a set of wheels for snow tires......

Heck, if 16's will clear your brakes, I have 2 different types of SHO wheels in that bolt pattern just sitting around.....

I put the OZ Superleggras on the '12 SEL we had as a family beater and took it autoxing....

If I remember correctly SHO wheels are five bolt, Focus is four.

Focus went 5 lug when we finally got the world car. Are they still using that screwed up x108 bolt pattern?

Focus from 2000 thru 2011 = 4 x 108
Focus from 2012 to present = 5 x 108
