Reviewed: 2009 Ford Focus

4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD

Why the 2009 Ford Focus?

Handling

Very crisp and positive for a FWD sedan, especially one that sits so tall on its suspension. I have optional 17 inch wheel/tire package.

Powertrain performance

Well-rounded two-liter engine with very responsive drive-by-wire throttle. Quiet at moderate revs and light throttle, with a little snarl when stood on. PZEV cleanliness. MTX-75 geared a bit short in first through third gears, good on hills and stop/go.

Price or payments

$16,700 is quite a bit of money for a two-liter four sedan, but the Focus has build quality and content that justify it pretty well.

Insurance cost

Class-leading crash-worthiness test results yield affordable insurance rates andd some peace of mind.
