Ford Focus Coupe SES 2008 model review gains quiet refinement
The 2008 Focus Coupe SES sits on a proven front wheel drive platform with a stiffer lighter body and tuned suspension. It offers 140 horsepower from a 2 liter Duratec engine and 35 mpg highway with manual transmission, while interior noise is reduced and seats offer more comfort front, though rear seating remains tight. The Sync voice control system debuts here and Ford plans wider use with Lincoln and other models, with Microsoft backing broader integration.
