Visalia, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/26/2011 -- Fresno Ford Focus dealership Visalia Ford is proud to roll out the new 2011 Ford Focus. The 2011 Ford Focus is an affordable family sedan that’s sure to please any Fresno Ford shopper.

Under the hood of the 2011 Focus is a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine with a fuel economy rating of 28 mpg city and 40 mpg highway. With one of the best fuel economies in its class, the 2011 Ford Focus is the perfect way for Fresno Ford drivers to beat rising gas prices.

“Our customers tell us that fuel economy is the top reason for purchasing a Focus,” said Derrick Kuzak, group vice president, Global Product Development. “The all-new Focus meets that demand with great fuel economy, class-leading technologies and features, exceptional standards of craftsmanship and driving dynamics typically reserved for larger, more expensive vehicles.”

Additional Features For Fresno Ford Shoppers

The 2011 Ford Focus is packed with safety features to help keep Fresno Ford drivers safe. It comes standard with AdvanceTrac electronic stability control that includes a 4-wheel Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) to help prevent drivers from skidding off the intended course. Add a rock-solid structure to help protect all on board, and a full complement of 6 airbags that includes 2 dual-stage front, 2 front seat side and 2 side-curtain.

On top of all of this is the revolutionary MyKey system. MyKey is designed for parents of teenage drivers who want to keep their child’s driving habits in check. MyKey can limit the speed of the car, disable the sound system if seatbelts are not in use, limit the sound volume to a pre-determined maximum, and sounding a persistent chime when the car reaches 45, 55, and 65 miles per hour. The MyKey system allows the parent to program any key through the vehicle message center, which updates the SecuriLock Passive Anti-Theft System. When the MyKey is inserted into the ignition, the system reads the transponder chip in the key and immediately identifies the MyKey code, which enables certain default driving modes.

Using MyKey to teach teens to avoid speeding can provide an added benefit – improved fuel economy. Ford research shows that driving 55 mph instead of 65 mph consumes 15 percent less fuel, and mastering other eco-driving habits such as avoiding jackrabbit starts and excessive idling can help improve fuel economy by more than 50 percent.
