Reviews SummaryThe first-generation Ford Focus continues into the 2007 model year with minimal changes to its winning formula of fun, practicality, and efficiency. | |
Reviews SummaryThe Lancer has been a part of the Mitsubishi lineup for quite some time, and the car returns overhauled for the 2008 model year after being briefly discontinued in Canada for 2007. Now in its ninth generation, the Lancer is positioned as a compact sport sedan rather than as the economy car that we were all thinking of. It’s a handsome new car with sporting intentions in all trims, but how does it stand up against more established and well-known competitors? | |
