How I hate the Focus...

[tommy saleen]

Gee I wonder why Automobile Magazine has had the Focus as one of it's 10 Best cars since it came out. Does anyone know why this atrocity has happened?

Ford Could always design the Focus to look like this I guess.

Between the good press of the European Focus (which is a different car), and their limited test time with the vehicle, it is easily feasable.

Give them the POS and make them drive it as a family car for 40,000 miles, and they will slap themselves for being so stupid!!

i'm just wondering does anyone realize for the cost of a focus you can get a nice like 92 vette. Hell i just bought a mint condition 94 for 15,000

Now that´s a stupid comparison, a 10 year old Corvette to a brand new Focus? Did you think about people need the SPACE to carry FIVE people and a NICE DESIGN with all the EQUIPMENT??

I'll tell you why the North American Focus sucks, cause the real Focus is being sold in Europe with AWD and 300HP.






This one is the RS version

To all those guys who trashed the Focus in the looks department:
Do you think that this is ugly as well??

actually, that is hideous. I like the focus' looks. its a great car, but that is an atrocity

[hondasuck]

would ther ebe a possioble way to (wow i can't believe i'm going to use this term while talkign about a ford...) import, the 300hp awd focusd to headquarters here in the good ol' USA? please say yes... anyway we TD'd the SVT today, i don't care what you haters think, it was pretty nice... later

i also got a focus about a month ago (zx3 (hatchback) dark grey), great handling, not very fast but that'll change. One of the best things about it is the legroom, I'm 6'5" and i fit in it perfectly. My head would be out of the sunroof if i had a civic or almost any other compact or sports car. What cars do you all have that are so amazing, that makes the focus a piece of shit that cost under 15 brand new w/ power everything?

thats an ugly POS! IMO, it resembles an older Hyundai Tiburon, and that isnt even right. they are nice cars, i guess, but that shit is UGLY

I just bought a 2001 Ford Focus SE Sport sedan about four months ago and it's great fun terrorizing all kinds of expensive machinery when the going gets twisty!! It's not too fast by any stretch but it handles like a dream!! (I also own a 1970 Pontiac Parisienne with a factory 300hp 350 that's exactly the opposite - real snarly in a straight line, not so much in a curve - lucky it's like 4000 lbs so traction's not a problem). I didn't much like the Foci at first, but the styling grew on me, especially the sedan, which looks good in silver with the alloys and spoiler. Those make a big improvement over the cheap-ass Focus LXs. Pretty decent factory stereo too, for an economy car. Lots of interior/trunk space, much better than Neon/Cav/Civic. As a matter of fact, my wife's ex-boss had a brand-new 2002 Civic coupe GIVEN to him as a company car, and he hates it SO much he wants to trade it for our Focus!! I told him to keep his junk LOL!!!
