Tolst, you used to drive? What do you think of a focus?

just a season. did it in young age like young elusive here :)
im really not an expert on cars im affraid. from my experience focus is a nice car, handy, nice looking, good engines, nice driving performances..the only thing not that good is the manufacture quality (not sure of the term)..but it's still a great improvement on previous fords.

you &$(*&$ fukers get the AWD/turbo focus over there. (mumbles obscenities)
2wd over here :(
pretty decent quality though. lots of parts (lots!) for spares, not very expensive either.
NASA (racing sanctioning body) just teamed up with ford to do a spec-rally class (details almost finalized) which will be cool
im psyched, but rally is sooo expensive : (
i wont push 100% for a long time now because i dont want to risk totally destroying the car so soon
we'll see, i cant wait! 1st proper gravel event yum

yes i need more stickers, havne't put a lot on yet. i was going to paint the car real cool design but ran out of time before this event.
needs lots more stickers! doesn't look proper without them.
edit: needs more SPONSORS!
0 sponsors (U.S. it's pretty hard to get sponsors for a sport NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT, GO NASCARRRRRRRRRRR!!!)

I agree with what Tolstoyed said. Don't like the aesthetics of the new model much though. Tolst, I think it's "build quality" that you mean (by manufacture quality). I think the Focus is a nice blend of fun (to drive) and practicality. The engines are pretty handy, useable but not bland power delivery, decent power output for the cc and. Even the people carrier C-Max that they based around it is really good (for a people carrier), I've never cornered so quick in a people carrier in my life. :)
The ones of the same age as Elusive's are my favourite (both in looks and to drive). I've not had a chance to have a go in an AWD version yet, but I think it would be very very handy offroad.

decent power output for the cc and...
should have, "deceptively torquey, even on the smaller engines".
