Yeah, I think the ZX2's are great cars also. I cant wait untill I get a Focus!!! Have any of you guys ever rode in a Focus?

I rode in a focus when my buddy was considering buying one. They are extremely impressive. My fiance has a '96 Contour, and the focus just blows it away. The best thing about that car is that it is so small, but when you get in, it feels much much larger. And that Zetec engine is wonderful.

That cool, I have sat in acouple Focus's and found that they have enough space. Nothing compared to the F150. I am about 6 feet 4 inches. And only 16 years old.
Vocaire was the car a manual or an auto?

Joshman, we drove both. The manual is definetely more fun, but the auto is pretty nice... yeah, I am 6'3" and I really didn't have a problem sitting in it, but I like my f150 much better...

I cant wait untill the aftermarket peoples get on the ball! Imagine having a turbo charger on that car, it would make it alot more fun!

I was thinking the same thing. Come on Roush!!! I cant wait to see the SVT Focus (fingers are crossed). Or maybee the beast over in Europe (Cosworth) that would kick some ***.

They had a Sony Music Edition Focus at the Chicago Auto Show, but I'm not sure if that's how it will be produced. It was pretty loud.

If it were me I would probably save up a little more and get the VW Jetta that the Focus appears to be modeled after. It's a sweet little car and if it were a little bigger.....

 

Yes they are making the Sony Focus. I thought the Jetta was ALOT more than the Focus? But I think the Focus looks like the Jetta also. When I see one or the other, I have to take a second look sometimes.
