Driving Impressions

The Ford Focus has been known as a car that offers good handling since its introduction for the 2000 model year. This Focus, though different in appearance, is basically that same car, which means it still handles well.

We drove the 2008 Focus SES and found a lot of road feel is communicated through the steering wheel. There is little lean in turns; after an initial shift, it takes a nice set. The SES model benefits from the addition of a rear stabilizer bar for sharper handling. We have not driven the base model.

Good road feel means the ride quality is a bit harder than some might prefer. But the Focus isn't a penalty box. It's not harsh over bumps.

Antilock brakes do not come standard, and we strongly recommend opting for them; ABS is optional with traction control.

Ford has outfitted the Focus with its 140-hp, 2.0-liter Duratec four-cylinder for better fuel economy. With the manual transmission the Focus gets an EPA-rated 24/35 mpg City/Highway. With the automatic, it gets a healthy 24/33mpg.

The 2.0-liter is competitive with most engines in this class. It has decent power for most needs, but passing maneuvers will require plenty of space. The automatic transmission downshifts quickly to give you what power the engine has.

Cars in this class tend to be buzzy and allow a lot of ambient sound to enter the cockpit. While the engine does whine under heavy throttle, it is no louder than most competitors. Likewise, road noise and wind noise are noticeable, but not out of line for an economy car.
