According to our friends at Thule, the Passage 2 Bike Carrier part # TH910XT is indeed a fit for your 2012 Ford Focus 5dr Hatchback.

The upper attaching straps connect to the upper edge of the hatch, and the lower straps connect to the bottom edge of the door. If your Focus is equipped with a rear wiper, make sure you do not use it with the rack installed.

For womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # TH982XT is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so the bike is not carried at an angle.

For your convenience, I have provided links to the install instructions and a product demonstration video featuring the Thule Passage.
