#87 of 93 2009 SEL by oldfordmech Oct 29, 2008 (8:00 pm)
I bought an 09 SEL in August, it's an ice blue 4dr, w/black leather (seats come heated in 09) the only options I ordered were an auto-trans and anti-lock brks. (comes w/ESC for 09) the only 2 options available I did not order was a moon-roof and a remote start. The car came w/205/50R16 Perellis ( it took me 3 times back to dealer to get the thump and vibration out of it. They had to replace 3 of the 4. I now have only 1 original tire but it rides great now. Now the good news, we took it on vacation the last 2 weeks of Sept. from Indianapolis In to El Paso,Tx. The car is rated 33mpg hwy. It gets 29 in the city /hwy combined and on the trip 1 tank full I got in Alamagorda,NM. to Okla,city it got 42.7 and then dropped down to 37.5 for the rest of the trip. Total mileage`for trip was 3,485 and total gas used was 90.1 gal. works out to 38.6 mpg and that was at 70 mph and a/c on most of the time. some 80 mph in Tx. Not Bad. I love this car ! (The seats are great,1 14hr day of driving proved that. and I'm 6'3 and 235 lbs.) any questions, fire them my way.
#88 of 93 Just a comment by cannon3 Feb 12, 2009 (8:08 pm)
A co-worker bought an 09 SEL Focus in blue. I took a ride with her in it and was impressed with how quiet the car was. The interior was actually not bad either for a small car. She was very happy with this car. After riding in it, I too was surprised how far the Focus had come since my mom bought one in about 02/03 time frame. I think this car is over shadowed by the Civic/Corolla. People are catching on though, she bought it over a Corolla.. The 2010 Focus looks promising also..
#89 of 93 replacing '08 ses power mirror by larz96 Mar 10, 2009 (4:49 pm)
Hi all, I'm mortified that I just caught the driver's side power mirror of my '08 SES coupe on the garage door frame I found a replacement part for $110 which was less than expected. I'm wondering where to get (cheap) instructions on how to change it out. Thanks, Larz
#90 of 93 Euro Focus by dbostondriver Mar 23, 2009 (6:43 pm)
Why is the Euro Focus so much better. Not only is it styled better but has more engine and body options?
#91 of 93 Re: Interesting article [scape2] by dbostondriver Mar 23, 2009 (7:16 pm)
Replying to: scape2 (May 26, 2008 8:53 am) Focus still does not crack the top ten of best selling cars. Also of not Ford is redesigning the Focus for 2010.
#92 of 93 2008 Focus Update by tm4 Mar 25, 2009 (3:30 pm)
For anyone who cares, I bought my 08 Focus in May, I currently have 16,000 miles on it and have no problems. It is still quiet with no rattles or squeeks (unlike my cousin's 08 Corolla). Overall, I am very happy with it and am glad I purchased it over any of the competition. After awhile the styling has grown on me. The engine seems a little quicker now that it's broken in a little (lack of power was my only concern when I purchased it.)   08 Focus SE with Auto & Sync
#93 of 93 Toyota defection by cannon3 May 25, 2009 (6:09 am)
A family friend picked the Focus over a Corolla. He has owned Toyota nearly all his life he said. Chose a red SEL version.
