I have an 2008 Ford Focus SE Sedan , bought in April of 08. This has been a great little car. I can fit 4 adults in it easily, and we're not small people, and really get 40 mpg. I noticed a bad review for rough ride. That person had an 07, the 08 has a redesigned suspension which is a vast improvement! The 07's I drove before buying the new one did feel like steel wheeled roller skates. Not so with 08 and 09. Try one at a dealer near you. (No I don't work for Ford, and my other car is an F250 4x4 Supercrew, the Focus' polar opposite). 2009 Ford Focus SE Sedan specs below :
