My rental car is a.....(*GASP*)...FOCUS!!!!!

i know i know. talk about sleeping with the enemy ha?

OMG that car is soooo slow!!

my civic(whats left of it) is a Ferrari compared to that POS. inside, out, and under the hood.

Im seriously embarrased to drive that car. Seems like ford needs to re-FOCUS(get it?) on building that car, and stop letting the British design our cars. I mean, look what they did to the new Si for Honda's sake.

where's FocusKiller and fordfocusscuks??
i know im gonna hear some $hit from them.

I drove a ZX5 recently and find it handles better than our car. But the engine is gutless and sound rough when I gun it.

I haven't had to take my car in for repairs yet (knock on wood) but I don't get it. You take your Honda into the Honda Dealer to get if fixed but they give you a Ford loaner car? That doesn't make sense to me. Can some please elaborate.

At least it's not a Geo Metro. My friend has a 2k1 Eclipse GT and he had to take it to the dealership to get the body kit repainted and they game him a little 3 cylinder metro hatch, and it was teal. It was the ugliest and slowest thing I've ever been in. Especially compared to his eclipse.

HAHahahahaha.... thats great. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]. I have driven a focus SE before... it was not a very pleasant experience. You know it's bad, when little old ladies on the sidewalk next to you, give you a quick glance, and then motor away in their little electric carts.
