Mom and dads contemplating the first car of their teenager may consider buying the Ford<\/a> Focus, which aside from its reasonable pricing and European style, comes with an innovative Sync system that allows voice commands to control the iPod and other smartphones.<\/p>\n

The 2008 Ford Focus feels and looks entirely different from its 2007 predecessor, inside and out. The 2008 line-up now includes a 3- and 5-door hatchbacks and wagon, and a new two-door coupe. It boasts an EPA fuel economy of 24 MPG city, 33-35 MPG highway and is reasonably priced at about $14,600 for a brand new one.<\/p>\n

But perhaps, Focus’ most attractive feature is its optional Microsoft-designed Sync system, which provides seamless integration with media players and Bluetooth phones. Sync can read incoming text messages out loud, and can text useful one-liners like “Be there in 10 minutes” and “I love you.” It can also recognize voice commands to control music so drivers don’t need to fumble with their controls while driving.<\/p>\n

Ford Focus’ Sync system not only adds fun to driving. It’s a great driving safety tool that parents would surely want to have for their teens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
