2007 ford focus review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Comfortable compact priced to sell. introductionthe ford focus is inexpensive, stylish, practical and fun. We found it more comfortable than some of the other compact cars, with roomy, cushy seats and a nice balance between a soft, smooth ride and responsive handling. It feels more european than japanese or american in demeanor and refined for the class. focus comes in three-door hatchback, five-door hatchback, sedan, and wagon body styles. That makes it appeal to different types of people and meet their individual needs. the sedans are comfortable and move people efficiently. The three-door hatchback is economical and practical, yet sporty and fun at the same time. The five-door hatchback makes it easier for rear-seat passengers to join in the merriment. The wagons can carry a ton of cargo and are good for dogs. for 2007, the focus enjoys optional new leather-trimmed sport seats, two new exterior colors and upgrades to the sound systems. The focus is expected to get styling revisions and other upgrades for 2008, so expect deals on the 2007 models. the zx4 st is particularly sporting with strong acceleration from its 151-hp engine and sharp handling and precise steering from its sports suspension. The s trim level comes with manual driver's seat-height adjustment, split-folding rear seat, am/fm/cd/mp3, and 15-inch wheels. Side-impact airbags 350) are available for all models, and we strongly recommend getting them. Anti-lock brakes 400) and traction control 115) are available for most models. Its styling at the time was fresh and innovative. Styling revisions for 2005 gave it a more refined, more grownup appearance, but it continues with same general theme of sweeping arcs and crisp creases that we've grown accustomed to. interiorthe interior features a traditional, clean and stylish look. The instrument panel is symmetrical with the driver and passenger areas divided by two rectangular climate control registers, the hazard switch and a shallow center stack for the audio and climate controls. for 2007, new sport seats with leather seating surfaces and contrasting leather inserts are available on the st sedan as well as the se and ses models (except wagon). This seat treatment is part of the new interior upgrade package 495), which also includes two-tone, leather-wrapped steering wheel with charcoal upper and flint lower to match the seating surfaces; a satin finish on the center stack surround and instrument-panel cluster gauge surround; and black sill plates with exposed focus in body color. street appearance packages are offered for the st sedan and the zx3, zx4 and zx5 se and ses models to give the focus a more sporty, tuner look. The sport appearance packages feature spoilers as the focal point, along with unique front fascia and rear bumper treatments and bright exhaust tips. on two-tone models, the lower portions of the instrument panel and door trim panels are finished in a lighter shade for a more open feeling. Cloth and leather upholstery are offered. The zx4 st has unique woven fabrics or suede seating surfaces surrounded with leather trim. a standard floor console houses the shifter, two cupholders, the parking brake, and controls for options such as traction control. An overhead console includes a sunglasses holder and a space for a garage door opener. Storage is also provided in the front doors, which feature molded-in bottle holders. a cd player with mp3 capability is standard on all models. It puts out much lower emissions so it meets california's pzev (partial zero emissions vehicle) standards. the focus zx4 st is fun to drive. Ford borrowed suspension pieces from the european-market focus and the 2004 focus svt to give the zx4 st sharper handling. The zx4 st comes with unique 16-inch aluminum alloy wheels and pirelli all-season radials. The package provides sharp handling response, precise steering and generally an enjoyable connection with the road. we found the higher horsepower engine in the focus zx4 st delivered strong acceleration performance and cruised easily on the highway. The only complaint with the engine was noise. Despite efforts by ford engineers to quiet the cabin, the zx4 st was noisy even when cruising at highway speeds. The focus boasts an extra-long powertrain warranty of five years or 100,000 miles and the improvements have boosted its quality ratings. michelle krebs filed the original report, with new car test drive editor mitch mccullough reporting from los angeles. model lineupford focus zx3 s 14,310); zx4 s 14,14,635); zx5 s 15,310); zx3 se 15,600); zx4 se 15,900); zx5 se 16,605); zxw se 17,385); zx3 ses 16,095); zx4 ses 16,700); zx5 ses 17,410); zxw ses 18,420); zx4 st 17,925). assembled inwayne, michigan; hermosillo, mexico. options as testedside-impact airbags 350); leather seats 695); heated front seats 115); audiophile sound system 795); power moonroof 625). model testedford focus zx4 st 17,925).
