2009 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD
I like how it comes with Sirius Satellite radio built in. I like how the center console is pretty much all buttons, I despise knobs and there are only 4 knobs and two of them have a button built into the middle of it so that makes me happier. see full Ford Focus review
2009 2dr Coupe 143-horsepower 2.0L I4

It is the lack of standard features i have a problem with. Abs is an option? There is no EBD? There are no visor extenders? There is no lit glovebox? There is no standard cruise control? Come on now. At this price they should come standard. see full Ford Focus review
