2004 Ford Focus SVT review from North America
"Bargain for the performance and luxury"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far nothing has gone wrong with this car.
I will place a comment when something does.
General comments?
The Focus svt is a very quick car for the price. Can easily keep up with Mustang gt's.
Handling is like nothing I have felt before. This car rides like it is on rails, literally.
Braking is excellent, the big brakes that come stock on this car will stop it nicely when the brake pedal is hit.
Inside the car is more like a BMW 3 series than a Ford. Has a nice stereo stock. An ice cold air conditioner is something that is very nice in the summer, and this car has that.
For the money the closest car to this is the Dodge srt-4 and I wouldn't think about spending the extra money, this car is worth every penny.
