Have you been perusing the hot hatchback segment for your next automotive purchase? Well, if so, we here at Candy Ford think you'd be wise to try ours, the 2017 Focus RS, on for size.

Why, though?

The clip below should shed some light on the issue. Link up with AutoGuide.com Road Test Editor Dan Ilika, as he takes the Focus RS for a spin:

It's admittedly quite a challenge to even imagine a standard equipment roster more impressive than the Focus RS's.

Such features include 19-inch alloy wheels, summer tires, performance brakes, adjustable suspension settings…

We all love to see a happy dog with its head out the window of a passing car, but devoted pet-parents in Charlotte know that what their dog likes isn't always what's best for them. My dog would eat chocolate donuts until she exploded.

Your best friend will be more protected in the event of a crash when secured in a crate. Crates prevent dogs from being thrown from the vehicle, into the back of a seat, or worst—into another passenger.

SUVs are great vehicles, something that drivers in the United States are realizing more and more. Their popularity has been on the rise for years and consumer data now suggests that the people who drive them are sticking with them for the long haul.
