Safety
The Focus received a Good overall rating — the highest possible score — in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's frontal-offset crash test. In the side-impact crash test, the coupe received a Good rating, while the sedan scored one notch below with an Acceptable rating.
The Focus comes standard with six airbags, including side curtain airbags, but antilock brakes — an important safety feature that's becoming increasingly standard on small affordable cars like the Focus — is optional. It's bundled together with an electronic stability system. For the 2010 model year, both of these features become standard.
