I think it is pretty sad when a 347Cui LS1 motor can get better milage than a Zetec
I think it's pretty sad when you make a SVT model and it's a 4 banger. A so far unreliable model of a 4 banger, no less.
I drove a Focus once for a loaner car when I was getting my ABS module replaced under warranty. The damn thing, at 21k miles:
1. Would shake and rattle
2. The tranny would buck horribly when you'd hit the gas.
3. The windshield wiper fluid wouldn't come out at all, even when full. This being on a cold, muddy winter day.
I don't think this Focus SVT is all it's crapped up to be.
