Ford Focus
The addition of a sportier coupe gives much needed life to this series, after having eliminated the hatchback and station-wagon models. It too comes with the SYNC technology, which, with voice recognition, enables one to use various multimedia technologies, like hand-free cellular phones. For 2009, it offers several timid aesthetic modifications that are welcome. Its 140 horsepower four-cylinder engine is associated to either a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic transmission.
