Some time has passed since the first Focus rolled out of the factory and onto the road. (ten years to be exact.) But since then, this car has been doing its part in the performance and handling department. Here’s the full story on why Focus has so much to brag about.
Two engines to choose fromThe ’08 Focus comes with a choice between two engines: the 2.0L I4 Duratec 20 and the Duratec 20E—which qualifies Focus as a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV). In fact, the 20E is cleaner than some hybrid gas-electric vehicles. And because going green is on everyone’s mind these days, you should know that the 20E engine also yields just 20% of the hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions of an Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle (ULEV). That’s a huge advantage if you’re keeping tabs on your personal carbon footprint.
Redesigned suspensionThe suspension on the new Focus has been redesigned to further improve overall driving dynamics. The basic suspension features an independent suspension with MacPherson struts up front and an independent multilink design out back for maneuverability and plenty of bump-absorption.
We know that’s way too much info for some of you and really not enough for others, so why don’t we wrap it up with: Focus gives you performance and handling that’s just plain tight.
PS: Don't forget about the Focus 100,000-mile/5-year Powertrain Coverage.* *60,000 mile/5-year Powertrain Limited Warranty and Extended Service Plan. Deductible applies in Florida. See dealer for details.
