2009 Ford Focus Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by hansonrt
Member3770
Exterior styling
Low profile ultra high performance tires and rims look custom, and the rear spoiler adds a nice visual to the flow of the roof line. Extra points for having the blacked out grille, and for getting rid of the cheesy front fender chrome pieces. Looks fast.
Handling
Feels like a much larger car. The SES package provides a firm taut ride. Corners and maneuvers like a much more expensive car.
Fuel economy
The rated 27 mpg is on the money. I have gotten as high as 37 on the highway. Nice feeling to pass the gas station more often without having to buy gas.
Cargo capacity
I would never consider towing anything with this car. The trunk is actually quite large.
Driving position & visibility
It can be a bit hard to see out the rear window when backing up. The turn signal lever seems angled up a bit higher than standard, although you get used to it easily. The seat belt is a bit hard to reach with the door closed.
