I just picked it up today... 2006 Focus SES 5 speed, silver, 6cd changer, power everything. I don't know when the buyer's remorse will stop kicking in, but I am not as excited as I should be; maybe because it's a downgrade from what the Contour was. But the Focus doesn't shake from 50-80, the Focus has A/C whose blower works, the Focus doesn't rattle and creak. So I guess it is an upgrade lol.
Theres not much money for mods, but I will be looking for a good forum to look around in. If anyone can give me any info: cheap mods, forums, etc let me know!! -Nick

Nothing to be remorseful about... it's a lot of car for the money.

lol I know its not that bad, I think I would feel the same way no matter what car it was. I paid 16,084; then took $3000 in rebates, dealer took $800 off the cost of the car, and I put down $2000 so I am only financing about $11,000 or $259/month.
Thanks for the links, I will check them out and see if I can make this car the way I want it. -Nick

Stock Foci are soft and slow, but they have an amazing chassis. You'll have to go FI to get any real power out of the 4-banger, but swaybars and moderate springs really make it handle like a champ. Focaljet's not bad: you'll find a lot of info there!

The soft suspension I would agree with 100% Thats going to have to be fixed...
