 The
2008 Ford Focus has been substantially updated, receiving a
new styling and even newer features, improving a great concept
while still keeping it fun to drive.
With a complete
makeover both inside and out, it comes in two distinct models,
the 2-door coupe and the 4-door sedan. The engine is an
economical 2.0 liter inline 4-cylinder that can provide up to 140
horsepower, though the cab is quiet even when zipping along the
roadway. Quick steering and retuned suspension, with revised
spring rates, shocks, stabilizer bars, and bushings guarantee the
smoothest ride in the
Ford Focus series yet.
As for fuel
economy, the 2008 Ford Focus is impressive. The EPA pegs the
miles per gallon at a lofty 33 during highway driving, proving
the vehicle knows how to conserve a ration of gas. In this day of
gas prices rocketing over $3.00 per gallon, a fuel-conscious
vehicle such as this can easily be considered a smart
investment.
The real
discussion and excitement around the Midway Ford Miami dealership
about the new
2008 Ford Focus is primarily focused around another feature,
however - the "Sync" system. The blue-tooth based Sync
System allows hands-free use of cell phones, personal mp3 players
and USB devices via voice commands and steering-mounted buttons.
While Ford is not the first manufacturer to implement this type
of feature, the Sync System is definitely on the top of the pack
for how seamlessly it handles itself. Set up is simple and the
results are impressive. Operation is pleasantly efficient and
accurate, and it won't be long until you're wondering how
you managed to live without it.
In addition to
antilock brakes and a traction control system as an option, the
new
2008 Ford Focushas added two-row side curtains to the
standard array of airbags, heightening the feeling of
security.
In summary, the
new
2008 Ford Focus has managed to update the style and value of
its compact offering while keeping the all the fun factors
intact. For fuel economy, value pricing, and the sheer coolness
of the Sync System, you can't get any better than the new
2008 Ford Focus. Come down to the Midway Ford Miami dealership
and give one a test drive!
