Ford 2009 Focus Coupe
Reader’s Question:
I’m eager to try out the Focus Coupe here in Texas. But before I go to the dealer, what’s difference between the standard Focus and the coupe?

Hello, Harry! It looks like someone wants to have a little fun in a Ford. Well, there are several things you can check out with 2009 Ford Focus Coupe when you visit a Ford dealer in Texas.
First, let’s go through what the standards on a Focus are. There’s 33 miles to a gallon from its 2.0 liter Duratec engine with 140 horsepower. There’s the Ford SYNC which is something they developed with Microsoft to help you communicate with your personal electronic devices like mp3 players, phones and PDAs. A very practical idea so you don’t have to fumble with them while driving.
Second, what’s with the coupe? Of course, there are just 2 doors, the obvious difference. Kidding, I know you know that. You can check out the ride on the Focus coupe and you’ll notice that the car is tuned more towards performance. You’re supposed to get a more responsive feel and comfort while driving this machine. Having the performance tuned suspension is supposed to give you that European driving feel. Since you’re into having fun with this machine, you might as well try out the SES trim. Mated with 5 speed manual transmission, the Duratec engine will crank out about 143 hp (feel this with the sport tuned exhaust) and still do 35 mpg on the highway. Here’s to your Focus!
Interior Features Of The 2008 Ford Edge
Reader’s Question:
I have seen some respectable Ford models here in Houston Texas but was never able to check the inside of the Ford Edge for 2008. How good can the interiors of this SUV be?

I would say that the 2008 Ford Edge is very stylish and gives maximum comfort when it comes to its interiors. There is a large space for the front seat occupants mainly because of the vehicle’s width. The large center console has a storage box which could fit a laptop computer. You can easily reach large knobs for climate control and other entertainment controls since the center stack is angled outward. You may also opt to get the Interior Appearance Package for that added red seat inserts and red stitching that when combined, gives the car that sporty appearance. This vehicle also offers a Ford Sync communication and entertainment system which can be controlled either by voice commands or the dashboard buttons. It also recognizes Bluetooth enabled devices like cell phones and laptop. It is even equipped with a USB interface for iPods and MP3 players.
The rear portion also offers great comfort for backseat passengers. The leg room is perfect which is about 2 inches more than the Ford Explorer. Less intrusion from the wheel wells is allowed because of the rear wheels positioned at the back, thus gives great comfort when jumping in and out of the vehicle. I am really stunned on how the interiors of the Ford Edge were crafted. I was able to take it on a test drive here in Houston Texas and was really pleased with the comfort I got while driving. I am already finalizing a deal for this SUV and lucky enough, I was able to catch a good auto insurance deal from this web page.
