Expert Reply:
If your 2012 Ford Focus is the sedan model and has the rear spoiler like the one in the picture I have included then I am confident that any of the trunk mount racks, see link, will fit. However we don't want the rack to put pressure on that rear spoiler, so I recommend the Thule OutWay # TH56BV.
I have linked a video and the instructions for the Thule OutWay # TH56BV. I believe it will avoid your spoiler.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a round top frame tube that goes straight across then I recommend using an adapter bar, # TH982XT. This will allow you to carry the bikes more level and provide better ground clearance. I have linked a video that shows how the adapter works.
