As one of the best-selling cars in its lineup, the recently restyled Ford Focus coupe gets additional updates for 2009. The range-topping Focus SES model gets standard equipment such as 17-inch alloy wheels, roof spoiler, and sport exhaust; electronic stability control (ESC) is optional. The 2.0L inline-4 now cranks out 143-bhp (5-speed manual) or 140-bhp (4-speed automatic). EPA highway fuel economy is 35 MPG with the manual transmission.

The Focus coupe receives some minor enhancements to help distinguish it from the sedan. The '09 Focus feature new front and rear fascias. A slight bump in horsepower on manual transmission models and a new final drive ratio ensure improved acceleration. SES models feature standard 17-inch wheels and a spoiler at the top of the rear window.
