I drove a 2008 focus sedan yesterday and was disapointed. In the looks department it is ok but performance wise it lacked. From a dead stop in the pouring rain it wouldnt even spin the tires. I know it has the "fly by wire" Throtle body so this could assist in the no acceleration but im sure the previous gen autotrans models could at least spin a little. My cousin has an echo and performance wise it reminded me of it. Handling felt like a stock focus suspension, but without some power to pull out of a corner what good is it. I am glad to still be riding in my 2005, dont think i would buy a 2008 unless the mtx one is a little better . Just have to wait till we get one in. Has anyone driven a manual trans one???? The led lights, sync and the sat radio arenice options and the new interior is very un focus like but nice.
