Re: Who hates the focus???

The Focus isn't the prettiest car on the block but they are what you make of them. I've seen one tuned to be awesome. Decals, StreetGlow, and a 13.5 quarter mile. I don't particularly hate it but honestly I will never own one. I'm more for muscle.

How could really hate the Focus? It seems like a pretty good car. Good gas mileage, good styling (IMO), low emissions, I hear it's pretty reliable. I wouldn't buy one cuzz I don't care for Ford, but I'm not gonna waste energy hating them either.

Hmmm

Can't really say I hate them, after all being from Detroit I'd buy one before I'd ever buy a Honda or Toyota. Then again I don't really like anything front drive. I have seen some Focuses converted to rear drive with 5.0s and even one with a completely new Mustang Cobra driveline now that's a Focus I could like!

Re: Re: Who hates the focus???

no it doesn't- Far too much Torque steer for it to get close.


That said, the Focus is a good car indeed- Handling, styling and comfort are all awesome. Too bad they are slightly lacking in the poke department.

They aren't the best car out there, but I wouldn't mind having a SVT. It isn't the fastest or quickest, but the suspension on that thing makes it handle like no other. I hear no other car in its class (or almost any class) can keep up with it in the corners. I bet that 6-speed helps it out also.

Their not horrible cars, but their not great...they look alright, handle alright, the svt moves alright, and its more reliable than most fords I've seen...I wouldn't buy one, but I wouldn't call the buyer a sucker

Re: Who hates the focus???

the hatchbacks can be cool, but the rest are kinda lame. Sure some are bad ass, but i'd pick a different car to mod.
