The focus svt is not worth your time, at least the zx3 model. It sucks my sisters boyfriend has one (lives with us) and he hates it. I mean someone barely hit him (tbone) and it just smashes to hell. almost costed half the cars worth, 2 months after he bought it. The car is weak, and can't even beat his old csvt. When we have gotten on the highway we raced to 60, and he barely wins against my stock 99 se sport. Not to impressive, and the cheap 8 inch sub is horrible sounding, he wants to replace that. the seat belts look horrible, the interior is awsome looking on the fsvt gotta give it that. but the engine is week. maybe if the new fsvt is a duretec.. I would say yes. Due to its crappy motor, and [censored] sound system, and honda sound muffler.... i know I would take a scion tc over a focus svt.
