I recently purchase a '08 focus traded my '04 Honda Civic EX coupe. I would recommend anyone looking for a sedan to test drive a focus you will be surpise. The drive is similar or better to a toyota. power is excellent, much more than a civic and i have driven a '08 civic. And i love the seats superior to honda and i love as well how they put the information display,must see for your self.I love the new outside look as well You definely get alot of car for the money you pay for. Not to mention all the safety features it comes standard like curtain airbags just to start.
