New Focus
 
Have any of you driven the NEW Focus? I worked for a Ford dealership before I moved down here, and ended up getting my wife one.

These are not your grandmothers Focus. They pack a big punch for its stock 2.0 liter, dual clutch auto trans. consumer reviews say that this car tops the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Hyundai, Chevy, and all the cars in its class on power and performance, as well as comfort. Gas mileage is among the best as well. The new Escape, Fusion, Taurus; They are all VERY different from what they used to be.......

The old saying goes.....Have you driven a Ford......Lately

When they first came out, all the Ford techs hated them so much that they all called them f*ckus' instead of Focus'. Sounds like they have come a long way.

I hope their quality has improved.

I'll bet the Fiesta is the new POS.

I love getting into my wifes focus, after getting out of my Corolla. There is much more power, and performance. When you get into it, the sound that engine makes is not like any factory sound that I've heard in a 4 cyl.
