2008 Ford Focus - My auto is too nerdalicious for ya babe..

Date of Review:  Jan 9, 2008
The Bottom Line: 2 steps forward .. 1 step back
Review: Minus the Focus' less than perfect reliability record, the early versions of Foci (between the years of 2000-2004) were some of the most impressive compacts to come from Detroit. The Focus offered a solid interior, decent performance, and...

2008 Focus: What Was Ford Thinking?

Date of Review:  Oct 30, 2007
The Bottom Line: A hackneyed restyle and sterilized road manners have left the Focus desperately devoid of appeal. SYNC is the sole selling point.
Review: Background

For years after its late-1999 debut, Ford’s Focus was critically acclaimed as one of the most competitive, fun-to-drive compacts on the market. And, for nearly as long, Ford has seemed hell-bent on trying to kill the poor thing...

FORD BEGS CONSUMERS to FOCUS !

Date of Review:  Nov 29, 2007
The Bottom Line: Will a voice operated, bluetooth system propel the Ford Fusion past its Japanese and GeneralMotors counterparts? Ford is betting that it will.
Review: My Uncle, Carl G. Smith recently earned his PhD. He has been a business Professor in Long Island University for many years and is now releasing a book that the Epinions Car&Motorsports Leads might like to read entitled:

"Ford – regaining...

2008 Ford Focus: great gas mileage on the freeway

Date of Review:  May 24, 2008
The Bottom Line: Felt solid, great transportation, comfortable, fun to drive, gets up to speed quickly, nice sound system, NOT macho.
Review: I rented a 2008 Ford Focus for three days and drove it from Fresno to L.A. and back. When the lady at the counter handed me the keys, I was a bit disappointed at first because I was hoping for something I thought would be a little more interesting...

New 2008 Ford Focus test drive

Date of Review:  Oct 27, 2007
The Bottom Line: I think this is a good buy - It fits the needs of my family perfectly.
Review: Today I had the opportunity to test drive a new 2008 Ford Focus SE 4-door sedan with cruise control and Sirius radio. My wife didn't want to even think about the 2007 Focus since she didn't like the way it looked, and actually got angry with me for...

Nice little car. Not Best in Class but pretty darn good!

Date of Review:  Jun 14, 2008
The Bottom Line: In a field of vehicles this size, it it worthy of consideration. Only wished it came in a hatchback!
Review: Very nice vehicle and is competitive with offerings out of Japan.

DRIVING EXPERIENCE:
The Focus is a pleasure to drive . The engine and cabin are extremely quiet compared to the others. The steering is tight (a good thing) and good...

Focused But Not Comprehensive

Date of Review:  Dec 1, 2008
The Bottom Line: Cheap touches and missing features prevent a good platform from living up to its potential.
Review: I recently rented a 2008 Ford Focus SE sedan for a week, and here are my impressions.  The car covers the basics rather well - peppy, fuel-efficient engine, responsive 4-speed automatic transmission, adequate brakes, perky handling, smooth yet taut...

Same Car But With More Toys

Date of Review:  Jun 14, 2008
The Bottom Line: If buying a new car, I'd recommend a new Honda or Toyota, however it should make a good used car for thousands less than a used Honda or Toyota.
Review: I finally had the opportunity to test drive the new Ford Focus as a potential replacement for my aging 2003 Focus. After much research and shopping around, the 2008 Focus seemed to be a logical choice among its competitors due to its improved...

Any better than 2007?

Date of Review:  Aug 30, 2008
The Bottom Line: Get the car for the gas mileage, power and comfort. If you need a bigger car, though, go for it.
Review: I'm not going to lie. The only reason I got this car is because I got a good deal on it. Otherwise, I would have gotten a bigger car. This car, suprisingly enough, has a fair amount of leg room inside. It's very comfortable with the cloth seats, but...

Missing the mark, Focus sedan

Date of Review:  May 23, 2008
The Bottom Line: Consider only if you can get one much cheaper than a Honda Fit or Toyota Corolla. Otherwise too much of a compromise.
Review: I have always liked small Fords like the Escort ZX2 and previous generation Focus. They had good handling and decent power. Nothing has changed in that regard. I actually like the new design as well, except for the rear end which looks wimpy in...
