1. Comparing a 5+ year-old car vs a new car is apples to oranges

2. Comparing the CSVT vs 3 based only a your experience w/ a Zetec makes zero sense

3. As others have stated, the CSVT #s you posted are generous - stock CSVTs have run low 15s

Regardless, the CSVT will thrash the 3. Check how they hold their own / outperform cars that cost $10k in AutoX.

Thank you and have a nice day!

sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the 3 Koko. I have nothing bad to say about it. I think it handles better and I know its alot faster than my old auto Zetec. I was actually just talking to Pete yesterday and he was telling me how you test drove both the 3 & the 6. See I test drove both of them as well. I test drove the 6i though and not the S. Both were manual and I felt the 6 was very sluggish and unresponsive. It may just have been that specific car but I was quite disappointed. With me posting these numbers...it was kinda neat to see how the numbers of the 3 were pretty similar to the CSVT.




Pete I may be mis-interpreting(sp) your response but it seems you became very defensive over what I posted and then you guys had to go and JACK MY THREAD
...but as I said before i thought it was neat to find numbers that were somewhat similar.

You should know from all the time we spent working with our cars that I loved the contour and I loved mine. I did start to neglect it though when it started giving me problems and being more of a money pit than a fun ride.

I still turn my head every time i see an SVT because it was the car I wanted mine to look like and perform like since I couldn't actually have one.

I'll just be on top of my "I BOUGHT MY FIRST CAR" bubble over here.

Later guys.

Oh Pete sorry I didnt call the other morning...the night before was a looong night.

We still gotta get together so you can see the car. Its a nice two tone of silver and salt right now
