I drove a 2008 5-spd and the only cool thing the saleman could show me was how my phone synced with the sync system. The car felt like a dog compared to my SVT. The shifter was sloppy, power was lacking, blah, blah, blah. The 2009 might improve upon the looks, but Ford has a ways to go before the sport-compact crowd starts looking at the Focus again. Nate
