Nothing wrong at all. Only one small thing: The middle console is kind of awkward for a person with big arms like me, I'm 6"2'.
The car is quick and it handles great. I already blew away a couple of imports (i.e. a couple of Civics and one Integra). I'm impressed with the engine's performance in high RPMs. The gears are smooth but sporty.
The inside is well designed and every instrument is very easy to reach and read. I got 16" wheels and it looks awesome. I gave mine the name of "import killer". No for VW, Honda, Toyota, and all the overpriced imports that look alike. FOCUS IS THE WAY TO GO!!!
I totally agree with you on all counts. I own a 2001 black ZX3, and it is the a complete blast to drive. I too am so tired of the little teen boys in their Civics, Integras and Eclipses. They all look the same (and sound like a John Deer mower!) Keep up the good comments for the Focus-its the best deal on the road.
You guys are both on the right track! I just purchased a 2001 Silver Focus ZX3 5 speed premium package.
The 16" 50 series tires grip like their lives depended on it (and the way I corner, it does). I'm not big into racing, I just like to drive on roads with nice twisties. I traded in a 1995 Honda Shadow VLX cruiser motorcycle on this car and haven't been too disappointed in the acceleration area. The car's AC and CD player make commuting to work a lot better than on the bike. I can't wait for the 2002 SVT version of the Focus ZX3 to come out!
Yes I would also have to agree with the other comments on how well the Focus handles and performs. I have first hand knowledge of how quick a Focus can be. I purchased a 2001 ZX3 with the automatic trans. I have done a few mods to it including a 16g turbo system. I can assure you that there are only a few Honda's that can catch me. I love my car and will never get rid of it.
