I'd like to get a newer car, tired of driving my old 88 Firebird.
What do you think about the Ford Focus ZX3? Know anyone with one? Have one yourself?
Have you come back from the future to warn me not to get it?

I really like the interior. The newest car I've ever had was a 91 Ford Tempo. Now that was a sweet machine. :p I'm not really sure what to get, either way I go I will will be going through the bank and financing it.
But everyone is telling me, interest rates are low, so if I am gonna do it, do it now.

It's a pretty nice car. I think you should get it, but your a$$ is gonna be broke by the looks of your bank account.


I watch you when you are in the shower.

I just cant stand the Focus.

To be honest, the economy is going to suck for a while. Interest rates will stay low because Americans are losing money to inflation thanks to our great economists in the white house helping big business. You have another 4 years of low rates to compensate....wait it out and buy used when you buy. Maybe get a program car and save 40-60% off retail. Don't be a sucker.

I would be buying used. I am not buying a new car. Not worth it.

Too expensive. Going for the 8-10k range. Something nice, and newer. Decent gas mileage.

I agree, the Mazda 3 is a much better choice. Its very affordable, good looking, and it will run longer than a ford.
