How I hate the Focus...

[unite@af]

Im sorry but I hate this car... I really wish someone would tell me something impressive in any means that would justify the dorky looks of this horrible car....

"SUBARU" is a Japanese word meaning "unite," as well as a term identifying a cluster of six stars which the Greeks called the Pleiades -- part of the Taurus constellation. According to Greek mythology, Atlas' daughters turned into this group of stars.

Yeah..It is pretty goofy looking. But think of it this way, at least its not as bad as that Echo..

Definitely can't touch the Echo in terms of dorkiness!

I kinda like the hatchback, kinda, but really dislike the rest (I just have a soft spot for hatches )

Once the Focus RS is upon us, all will change..

As a Service Tech in a Ford dealership, I love this car. I wouldnt own one myself, but the simple fact that it has replaced the Contour makes me love the car. A lot easier to work on , and a lot less problems

Hey well now that the SVT focus is coming out it will go to 60 in an impressive 7.0 seconds...Thats what they reported. Which would make it a pocket rocket...However i still don't like the looks.

They should produce a focus that looks like Ford's Focus GT(I think that's what it is) concept. That car looked sweet, even for a Focus.

the focus is a great example of a ugly car with good marketing and maybe some subliminal messages. Otherwise I don't understand why someone would buy one

[verboom]

Well, I'll agree with everybody. The focus is one DAMN ugly car, but I've just recently seen one that I really really like. They showed on on TV, it was at the Detroit car show, I think, But they had made the hatchback into a cube van design, and I tell you, impractical as they come, and it doesn't sound like to would change it enough to make it look good, but it did. If anybody finds a picture, they should post it. I'd like to see what everybody thinks.

I'm not a big fan of them either, especially the sedan (ick!). However, at the Ford dealer I'm currently working at, they modified one that is now for sale. A black hatchback with a subtle bodykit, small spoiler at the top of the back window(Dodge Caravan Sport style), custom exhaust (rumbly, not weedeater), cold air intake, 5-speed, tinted windows. It's actually really nice (and sounds good driving by). 16 inch 6-spokers and lowered suspension as well.

Yeah it is ugly as hell ....i never thought that i would ever like a focus ..but their is one it was in car and driver or something ....but it had 300hp and it was decked out . The only time i can ever say that it was actually nice

[Adam]

i think it's ok looking, but it's a ford which makes it awful

at the seattle auto show my Dad convinced me to sit in it. It was comfy [the sporty one i sat it], but i sure hope noone saw me sitting in a cheap Ford!

[Seb928S@af]

It is ugly and slow it is the biggest POS I see on the road.

[Heep]

Let's just say it has potential. (hatchback only)

I would take a Focus coupe or hatchback over the slightly more highly regarded 2001 Civic. They look the same, so I would rather have the Ford.

I like Foci. I bought one and it has been great!
