TO THE POINT What's New? New paint colors, new option packages, new trim packages, and that's about it. Ditto for 2007, though the powertrain warranty has been upgraded and there are new leather sport seats with contrasting inserts are available on the SE and SES hatchback and sedan models.
Selling Points: Fun to drive, low emissions engine, great outward visibility, hatchback utility, simple design
Deal Breakers: Front seat comfort, rear seat cushion doesn't split 60/40, no rear headrests, no center console storage, average quality

2006 Ford Focus ZX5

Ford makes up for the utter lack of center console storage by giving the Focus a good-sized glovebox, a CD holder in the lower left dash panel, and an overhead console for sunglasses and a garage door remote control. The front door bins are also a good size, and they contain integrated bottle holders. Cupholders have liners for removal and easy cleaning, and there's a pen holder. The center armrest does have a shallow tray that could hold a cell phone or iPod. Rear seat riders get a single cupholder and a pocket on the front passenger's seatback.
