Ford Focus Review
The 2008 Ford Focus offers economical and sporty transportation in a compact package. It originally debuted as the little car in 1999 as a 2000 model, winning the 2000 North American Car of the Year award. This time, the focus is quite significant, with a radically different styling both from inside and outside. The 2008 line-up will have the addition of a two-door coupe variant. The latest models share some of the best parts with the Mazda3 and the Volvo C30/S40/V50.
Muscular stance, sharp character lines and a high beltline define Focus. The 2008 Focus strikes an impressive pose.

"I wanted a small car for my family which is reliable, comfortable and most importantly adequately priced and totally reliable. I got the Ford Focus and really I have nothing to repent."
