Good But Looking It's Age And Rivals Are Slowly Moving The Game On.Source: CarGurus
...Performance ain't great but good for a 1.6 diesel. It's got plenty of room, and handles well - the RS version didn't need many suspension upgrades. |

Why should I also consider these?
The 2008 Ford Focus is up against tough competition.
The 2008 Honda Civic offers great variety, such as coupe and sedan body styles and multiple powertrains, including hybrid and natural gas.
The 2009 Toyota Corolla is especially attractive in its top trim level, though less so in the base trim.
The 2008 Focus also has to compete against the Mazda3, a perennial enthusiast favorite for its handling.
Comparatively, the Hyundai Elantra and Dodge Caliber trail this pack in overall refinement and style, and without a Focus SVT model, Ford has nothing to line up against the 285-horsepower Caliber SRT4.
