... a 2004 SVT Focus .
It's Sonic Blue - #1160 of 1978 made , built on Jan 29 , 2004 . We bought it a few weeks ago with 32k on it , and have driven it quite a bit since then , and it's nearing 34k already ! It's the wife's daily driver , and it's tough to steal it from her , lemme tell you ! It's a great little car . It handles great , stops on a dime and has (IMHO) equal power to the CSVT , though it comes on a bit different . The extra gear (6-spd) is a bit different to get used to also :crazy: . It has the Audiophile stereo system , which is nice as hell - basically it's a near 300 watt (don't remember exact #) 6-disc system with a sub & amp in the trunk , controls at the steering wheel and auto volume control
. It cranks pretty darn good for a stock system . Some other pretty cool stock items are the lighted moonroof switch with one touch open/close/tilt , electro-luminescent gauges , tilt/telescope wheel , heated mirrors and oil temp/pressure gauges . And it's got 4 airbags ... just in case . It's a pretty slick car . The only thing it doesn't have that we wanted is two more doors , but we're (obviously) willing to concede on that part of it . With the wife driving it every day , it's hard for me to get a photoshoot together , so it may take me till next weekend for better engine/interior shots , but here are a couple that I have so far .
We've already used the hatch to haul some stuff that would never have fit in the CSVT , so it's already come in handy - just like I thought the hatch would . Plus , the wife now has something nicer to drive , like she should . I don't mind driving more beat-down autos . More pics to come ...
