Why should I also consider these? X

The 2009 Ford Focus is up against tough competition.

The 2009 Honda Civic offers great variety, such as coupe and sedan body styles and multiple powertrains, including hybrid and natural gas.

The 2009 Toyota Corolla is especially attractive in its top trim level, though less so in the base trim.

The 2009 Focus also has to compete against the Mazda3, a perennial enthusiast favorite for its handling.

Comparatively, the Hyundai Elantra and Dodge Caliber trail this pack in overall refinement and style.

Now that the Focus lacks a hatchback or wagon model, those shoppers will have to look elsewhere—good possibilities in that range include the Mazda3, the Toyota Matrix (which is based on the Corolla), and the Honda Fit, which is smaller on the outside but surprisingly roomy inside.
