focus = ugly

not only are they nasty, just about eveyone i know either wants one or has one... i mean they are more mainstream than the neon. I prefer a car that says something about the person

Finally a voice of reason erupts from the crowd.

2001 and prior Focus's..or Focii were plagued by recalls, but starting in 2002 they got their act together and made a nice little car.

The SVT focus has also continuously been on the top 10 of C&D's annual list..

Different in Hawaii, everyone has a ricer here. Just like Zug does.

Focus is a great car, the zx3 handle's fantastic. Personally I really dig the styling of them as well.

They're nice cars but not something I would want to drive. Really the only one I would even vaguely consider taking for a spin is the SVT edition. As it stands I'll stick with my Dodge Stratus SE.

Yeah, we were looking at the Dodge Stratus but it was a little too big for Hawaii.

Exactly, Zug has nothing better to do. He is coming down to my house right now. I will get him back, dont' worry :p He needs to ask my dad for help, and I think he is going to have to do it by himself :p

Ford Focus is a pathetic excuse for a car... so is a geo metro... they're in the same ballpark....

and before you critisize what I drive... I drive a 96 chevy blazer, with 135,000 miles... (so what, it has leather and runs great)

New cars are a pain anyways, because your car will get door dings... it's inevitable...

Hate to bring a thread back from dead but the ZX3 focus has been in te C&D top 10 since its release... I own one and it is a great car..

Not true in any way... I've driven both and can say without a doubt the focus is a much much better car through out.

Thanks Crazymofo. :) Have you modded your car in any way?

Nice car ROTC.

The ZX3 handles very well. My wife's got the 4 door SE which isn't a slouch either.

so no matter how much money you make you're gonna drive a used car?
