Overview & Reviews

For 2009, Ford has shuffled the trim levels for the Focus. The sedan now comes in four trim levels and the coupe is available in two. The coupe, although just introduced last year, also gets an exterior freshening and a couple minor modifications for improved performance. Heated leather seats are now standard on the top-of-the-line SEL sedan and optional on the trim level below it (both the sedan and the coupe). Finally, stability control has been added to the options list.

• Innovative Sync system, very good fuel economy, plush ride quality, responsive steering, low price.

• Budget interior materials.

  More than meets the eye - 2009 Ford Focus
  By Ryan - November 3 - 1:40 am

  This is a 35mpg (wring out a few more, if you pay attention to the MPG meter) economy car that doesnt make you feel like you are driving an economy car. The motor has plenty of pep for accelerating into freeway traffic, although, it doesnt have much left after 65mph. The car handles very well right off the lot and the ride is surprisingly quiet and comfortable. If you can sacrifice a bit of that quiet and comfort for a greater improvement in handling and style, I would suggest going with the 17" wheel option with the 215/45 tires. I purchased mine after I took delivery of the car and paid almost double. The car overall feels well-built and reliable. I am very satisfied.

  2009 SE - 2009 Ford Focus
  By keepinon - June 1 - 6:20 am

  Ive had the car for about two weeks and so far I am very impressed. I Sold a Toyota Matrix to buy this car because I wanted something made in Michigan, my home state. The car is quieter and smoother riding than the Toyota. It has a nicer interior. Although I miss the hatchback utility of the Matrix, I knew that going in. My first tank of mixed city/highway driving in winter weather yielded about 27.8 mpg with the four speed automatic. I got a good deal on the car from the dealer in my town and there were plenty on the lot so I didnt have to order one. Seriously, if you are in the market for a comfortable affordable compact car, take a test drive. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

  Love my new Focus - 2009 Ford Focus
  By amber gold - February 9 - 8:20 am

  After three weeks of researching and test driving cars, my husband and I finally picked the 09 Ford Focus SE. It has plenty of trunk space, gets great gas mileage, and is fun to drive so far. The other small cars in this class could not match the price nor quality that the Focus has. Ill send another update in a few months after we get her good and broke in. Love this car!
