2008 Ford Focus S review from North America
"Very surprising commuter car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
The car's front seats are very comfortable for me. I am about six feet tall and two hundred and seventy pounds. I have a bad back. The car is more comfortable for me than my Honda was. The seats are softer and still supportive in the right areas. The seats put the driver in the proper driving position. You sit up higher and your knees are bent, instead of being out in front of you along the floor.
The car's engine performance is very good for its class and fuel efficiency.
The car handles well in the turns. It will break loose in the rear when braking too late before a corner.
