not a glowing testimonial here boys and girls .. .. as you know a year or so ago i went in search of a new car .. cash in hand .. went first to my local ford dealor as i`m a true ford blue fan .. they didn`t have anything in my price range ,, hence i went to toyota and snapped up my corolla .. as you know i have hated this car since day one .. it has now been wrecked twice ( hit a deer last week ) .. but is fixed good as new again .. took it to woody ford to swap for an 08 focus .. i kind of like those cars .. would have bought one last year if they were`nt 4 thousand too much .. anywho i take my yota in for evaluation and i have a figure in mind that i would be "willing " to absorb in order to get into a " year " older ford with many thousands more miles on it .. after waiting 45 minutes or so they finally make me their offer .. no less than 4 times what i was willing to give .. they only offered me 7 grand for my 09 yota .. needless to say i couldn`t get off the property quick enuff and will be a cold day in ( you know where ) before i set foot there again ..

my sister has an 08 focus, it's nice and has a good and touchy brake pedal and throttle response. The brakes squeak, though there's nothing wrong with them apparently

ours is a base model. Bought it with 8K miles for $11K.

The only thing i hate is that when you floor it, the engine revs up to 6500-7000 rpm and then it shifts and it sounds like you're going fast, but when you look down at the speedo you realize that you're only going 39 mph, whereas in the stang you'd be way higher than that.
