Small, economical, and fun, the 2009 Ford Focus is a smart choice for those looking for a compact car.

Available as a coupe or sedan the Focus includes only minor changes for 2009. The engine is a 140-hp 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder available with a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. Restyled and refreshed for 2008, Ford modified and updated the Focus' exterior, interior, suspension, and engine intake and cooling systems. The interior features an available Sync system that allows the driver to synchronize various mobile electronic devices such as mp3 players and cell phones. Four airbags are standard, rear seats now include headrests, and electronic stability control is available. Ford offers two trims on the coupe, the SE and SES; and four on the sedan, the S, SE, sporty SES, and luxury SEL.

The 2009 Ford Focus is a carryover from 2008.
