We here at Elk Grove Ford are big fans of the Ford Focus. The compact offering from our favorite American automaker is always stylish, well built, and dependable. And, with the compact market gaining more momentum each day, it only makes sense that consumers around the country would begin to wonder which one rests at the top of the list as the best one to buy.

That's why TheCarConnection.com names the "Best Car to Buy" each year in order to give consumers a good idea of what vehicle is the best value for their money. There are limits on price, segment, efficiency and so forth, which help to show consumers right off the bat just how well their money can be spent. The winner, however, is the judge's choice as the best contender within these limitations.

Of course, it goes without saying that the Focus walked away the clear winner, otherwise why would we be reporting it to you? That's right, of the 200 vehicles that TheCarConnection.com tested, the Focus came out on top; not that any of us are shocked or anything. The 2012 Ford Focus received near universal praise from the contest's judge. They gave the vehicle a solid 9/10 for its aerodynamic design and versatile cargo room, which still manages to hide under a compact frame. Meanwhile, they gave its performance an 8/10, noting that they love the fuel-efficient, yet fun, 160-horsepower engine.
