I traded my civic too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I recently purchase a '08 focus traded my '04 Honda Civic EX coupe. I would recommend anyone looking for a sedan to test drive a focus you will be surpise. The drive is similar or better to a toyota. power is excellent, much more than a civic and i have driven a '08 civic. And i love the seats superior to honda and i love as well how they put the information display,must see for your self.I love the new outside look as well You definely get alot of car for the money you pay for. Not to mention all the safety features it comes standard like curtain airbags just to start.

Step up from previous gen

An affordable compact sedan but uncomfortably drives like one. Interior feels cheap, road noise not a plus, acceleration better than 2007 but still nothing to get excited about. Overall if your in for an affordable compact car that gets good gas mileage, but still want a car thats going to keep its modern look, 2008 focus would be for you.

no more civics for me!

i use to stick to civics and now i own 1 honda fit and a focus love the focus the most! me and my wife always disagree about who drives it most because we both love it the more than the fit the performance of this car is way better than the compition and the handling is superb! this car has more room than our fit (leg room) but when it comes to hauling things back and forth the fit would be better but the fits TINY engine can barely pull it self let alone a car full of people the focus is a great car and witht the new dash and the sync ITS A BARGIN!! i dont know what they mean when they said the civic was a better choice LOOK FOR YOUR SELF THIS CAR IS THE BEST!
