[hr]Comparison Test:
Taken in isolation, the latest Honda Civic Si is a solid car. It's refined, capable and distinct from the rest of the Civic lineup. If you buy one, you won't feel ripped off. Put next to the SVT Focus, however, the Si's shiny "H" emblem suffers from a case of shrinkage. In nearly every area, the Focus is better. We hope the 2003 Civic Si comes with a sticker that shouts, "New & Improved! Now Has 20 Percent More Fun!"
What was expected of the Honda became reality in the SVT Focus. With its aftermarket-sounding exhaust, short-throw shifter, optional audiophile sound system, color-insert seats and blacked-out headlights, this is the factory version of what today's youth is building out of '96 Civic hatchbacks. The execution is nearly flawless. Grade A.
Thank you for playing.[hr]

Rep Power: 0 Even if the Focus was/is faster than a Civic, I don't like ford products. I still have the Escort pictures and driving sensations in my head, [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG] and let me tell you, it's a nightmare compared to driving a Honda. Maybe some Ford addicts will say the oposite, maybe Honda specialist will complain about threads from poeple how talks about subjects they don't know, maybe... It a personal opinion, and I'm sure Honda will improve their cars to stand up in the crowd again. Honda may have been passed by other makes, but they will come back one day for sure.
My opinion, I like my Civic. I like Honda.

Rep Power: 0 I know, but it's still amusing.
"The SVT blasted through our 600-foot slalom at 68.2 mph. Not only was it faster than the Civic and New Beetle, its slalom speed was higher than that of cars like the Chevy Corvette Z06, BMW M3 and Subaru Impreza WRX."

Rep Power: 0 It is undeniable that the Focus SVt is far superior to the civic... but it's jus so DAMN ugly. I hate the focus. My parents offered to help me get the following cars last year:
ford focus
honda civic
chevy cavalier
My choice was obvious, as I have gone through droves of american cars that constantly had problems... now I have my civic, and life is good.
