Without the ricey wheels and body kit and all that crap, I think it would make a cool daily driver. Does it still have the 100k mile warranty or is the 3/36 warranty on the site correct?

not to try to **** everybody off but i was once a focus fanatic and bought the saleene focus last year from earnest mccadry, car was very fast for being so light, barely reaches a ton, paid 25 for mine, not worth it tho, i love foci's and still have a 2k1 SVT ZX3, but the N20 focus is not worth it for the money your paying, to many recals on the car when i had it, brake recal, engine recal, stearing column recal, but nun the less, still a fast *** 4 banger, put out right at 172hp without the spray jus my 2 cents from a old focus fanatic

well, since you're asking for opinions, here's mine:

they're an ugly-*** car all-around, and especially so with the wings & ****....and they're too small for my big (6' 2", 240-lb.) *** to comfortably drive. i'm not saying they can't be made to be fast, but i wouldn't own one.

the focus's that you gotta watch out for are the ones that have swapped in the V-8 engines....they're fast as ****....but still way too fugly IMO....

LOL, a Focus with N20 is only .2 faster and 5 MPH slower through the quarter than an SRT4 and it costs $2,500 more.
