2000 Ford Focus ESP review from UK and Ireland
"Seriously underated, good car. Quick, but not lightning quick"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just needed a new clutch pipe as it died on me one day.
General comments?
I have a 2.0 ESP black with 3 doors, stainless steel catback exhaust, air filter and lowered 35 mm.
The Focus is quick to drive, even though it weighs a lot. I love blowing all these modded Corsas, VTRs and other **** boxes. The only time I got beat by a VTR was when when I had a car full.
I had a 1.8 Collection before and that put a Punto GT Turbo to shame. Didn't leave it, but there wasn't much difference.
Will get either an Astra GSI next or a Focus ST mk1.
Want to decat and maybe four branch manifold next with Bluefin Super Chip.
