Pros: What do you like about 2008 Ford Focus? Very smooth positive shifting manual 5-speed transmission. Zippy power, fairly tight suspension for an econo-car. Sips gas. VERY quiet. Cons: How would you improve 2008 Ford Focus? Front seat headrests jut too far forward. My base 2 dr coupe has no spare tire, just a fix-a-flat kit. No tire iron or jack either. These are optional. Driver seat needs more adjustment controls. 2008 Ford Focus Review: I bought a base 2-dr coupe 5-speed manual. I compared it to the Chevy Cobalt LS. Went with the Ford. I personally like the new Focus exerior styling change. Manual transmission preserves some driver fun, and is very smooth. Engine revs at 2200 rpm at 60 mph in 5th gear. This new Focus is unusually quiet, Ford redesigned it to be so. Has a center storage console that has enormous storage space. Trunk is also huge, and the rear seats split fold down. Good gas mileage, and feels very tight and solid. Wouldn't hesitate to drive cross-country in it. |
