2008 Ford Focus SES Review

With Sync you can call the tune, but Ford still needs to face the music

Introduction

Ford Focus SES – 2008 Review: Every hit song, classic or one-hit wonder, has one element in common: the hook. Lyric or musical phrase, it’s the memorable part that makes a song instantly recognizable. Ford hopes it has found a hook to revive its former hit, the Focus. That hook is Sync, a handy, well-done way to play music and use a cell phone. But if you’re not interested in the voice-activated system, what’s left? A barely improved Focus, off-key with an unsteady beat.
