The Focus has long been one of Ford's most consistent small sedans, and this particular generation — the pre-refresh third-gen Focus — earned a reputation for solid build quality that holds up well over time. The SES trim places this car above the base S and SE trims, meaning you're getting a more feature-rich experience without the premium price tag of newer vehicles.2009 Ford Focus Performance and Engine Under the hood, this Focus is powered by a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and front-wheel drive. This powertrain delivers around 140 horsepower — modest by today's standards, but more than adequate for daily commuting, highway merges, and navigating Southern California traffic. The 4-speed automatic is a proven, low-maintenance unit that shifts smoothly and holds up well with regular fluid changes. FWD keeps the car predictable and easy to handle, especially on rain-slicked Inland Empire roads.

Real-world fuel economy for this engine typically lands in the range of 24–35 MPG depending on driving conditions, making it one of the more affordable cars to keep fueled in the 909 area.Ford Focus SES Features and InteriorSES Trim — More Than the Basics The SES trim on the 2009 Focus brought meaningful upgrades over the standard lineup. Buyers stepping into this car can expect features like a premium audio system, upgraded interior materials, alloy wheels, and a sportier overall presentation compared to lower trims. The cabin is compact but well-organized — Ford designed the Focus interior with everyday usability in mind, and it shows in the logical dash layout and comfortable front seating.

The rear seat offers reasonable space for a compact sedan, making it genuinely practical for small families or carpoolers. Trunk space comes in around 13 cubic feet — solid for a car this size and more than enough for grocery runs, gym bags, or weekend travel.Ford Focus Reliability and OwnershipWhat Owners and Experts Say The 2009 Ford Focus has built a quiet but consistent reputation for reliability. Unlike the troubled 2012–2016 Focus generation that saw controversy around its dual-clutch PowerShift transmission, the 2009 model uses the proven 4-speed automatic — a much simpler, more dependable unit. Owners consistently report that routine maintenance — oil changes, brake service, and tire rotations — is all this car typically asks for over the long haul.

Common items to keep an eye on at this mileage include spark plugs, coolant flushes, and transmission fluid — all standard maintenance items that are inexpensive and easy to address. The 2.0L Duratec engine in this model year has a well-documented service history across millions of vehicles and is known for longevity when maintained properly.Why Buy From Diamond Auto Exchange in Colton, CA Diamond Auto Exchange has been serving the Inland Empire community with straightforward, pressure-free used car buying.
