the focus platform is known for how well it handles... but thats all its got. they are ugly as sin, and just as slow. there a few riced out focus's around where i live and they all think they drive the fastest cars ever... theres even a focus with like 2 or 3 wings on the back, it looks pretty silly, its got one just over the latch on the back door, then another one on top of the back windshield! I LOL every time i see it.

$19K tC? Did you buy all the options or get the RS3.0? My '05 with its small list of options came out to $17.5K TTL.
Ah, the Force is strong in you young padawan learner. Welcome to the brighter side of life.

the new 08 we got fully loaded, i cant think of an option we didnt get, and it came out to just over 19k. I was telling my girl about the RS 3.0 though, and then we saw one on the street last weekend and she is pissed we didnt her that LOL.

im a GM guy myself, but id be lying to myself if i said my ride didnt suffer from many of the american car typical poor quality problems. i mean c'mon man, an s-10 has got to have one of the ****iest interiors in any car EVER! thats not to say yours isnt a nice s-10, just that s-10/blazer interior is really cheap and crappy. Hell thats my main gripe with my car, the interior feels and looks plasticy and cheap. I do have to admit though, recently GM has really stepped it up with some of the 07-08 models. Take for example the saturn aura xr, have you been in one? that **** is pimp! by far one of the nicest interiors i have ever seen in an american car, or any comparable import for that matter, very classy. i just hope GM will continue to make quality cars like that.

Yeah, I don't care for white much, but the White Blizzard Pearl paint just sticks out. I did a doubletake and for a brief moment did not recognize it as a tC. We have one posted in the Members Rides section. Ya'll should check it out. I was wowed by the car so much, I ponied up and bought it for my Son for graduation.

True that. That is the way I feel about 90% of the body kits out there. Most have no functionality beyond looks. They have no wind tunnel/simulation testing. The job of body kits is to smooth and control the air around the vehicle by deflecting lift and decreasing drag coefficiency. Only problem is, it won't make into Need For Speed or Juiced w/o some flied rice

If Ford would release the european ****us it would be a different argument. I personally like SVT Focus's and what you can do with a focus at a SOLO II event. But Focus's are the same as tCs to me in a straight line...
I guess being in Japan really ruined my excitement about dragging a car that runs over 13 seconds in the quarter..

Had to laugh out loud when I saw this thread. I traded in a ZX5 for my TC. I cant believe a foci owner would call you out. I like the feel of the clutch in the focus but thats where I draw the line. (that may only be because I'm just not use to this one yet) I regreted the focus the day I bought it. The TC is great!
