Reviews SummaryThe first-generation Ford Focus continues into 2007 with minimal changes to its winning formula of fun, practicality, and efficiency. New for 2007 in some markets is a special badge that lets people know about its clean-burning engine. | |
Reviews SummaryMore commonly known for its minivans and performance cars, Dodge is not a name one would readily associate with the family sedan market. The American automaker seeks to change that with the midsize, five-passenger Avenger. The name “Avenger” was originally used for a sleek Dodge coupe, sold from 1995 to 2000, but this Avenger arrives for the 2008 model year with muscle car-inspired styling and assures it will stand out in a crowded parking lot of cookie-cutter sedans. It is also one of the few family sedans for this model year to offer available all-wheel drive. | |
