Overview & Reviews
While not completely new, the Ford Focus gets a significant refresh for 2008. Many of the mechanical components are unchanged, but the car gets a new look inside and out. Ford's hands-free Sync communications system is added to the options list and the base 2.0-liter engine gets a slight power increase. The 2.3-liter engine is dropped, as are all wagon and hatchback versions. A coupe version of the Focus is also new for 2008.
- Plush ride quality, responsive steering, simple controls, very good fuel economy, quiet interior, low price.
- Bland interior design and materials on most models, no rear headrests.

Fun in the sun! - 2008 Ford Focus
By BenAZ - May 7 - 12:40 amIt has been a fun drive so far. I love to take turns at fast speeds, and not hear a tire squeak. It has plenty of power and can be pretty zippy.

By Mike - April 28 - 6:40 pmDrives wonderfully. Handling is a bit touchy. Interior is great - love the leather and adjustable height on the drivers seat. Back seat offers little leg room, but that is typical of a compact. I like this better than my old Civic.
