Well last Friday I took the wife to look for a new car, 1.8T Jetta they didnt have a new one but we drove a 1.8T GTI, great little car lots a power and trq.
On the way home I made her stop at the Ford Dealer and they had a new SVT Focus out front. We looked it over and my wife who hates the Fcous actually liked the looks of th SVT, it was black!
to make a long story short we drove the car, It was and is deserving of its badge. Its acceleration matches my tour to where I would guess top of third gear, then the tour feels like it pulls stronger, my car sounds way better with its borla and kkm, but thats it. The SVT Focus IMHO is superior in every other way , its brakes are simply awesome, like the six speed and shift feel, the build quality and interior materials are decades ahead of my tour. I would aslo say they are superior in design and feel to the VW especially the seats, the VW feels just a touch and only a touch more upscale, but it leaves you with a , my underware are too small feel , where as the SVT makes you feel like your going commando!
ok so for those of us who are keeping their tours anyway, the Focus brings with it a sweet steering wheel, hope they fit. Also sill protectors billet with SVT logo not sure about these fiting but finger measurements say its pretty close. and lastly the wheels they look great, and at the price they are being tossed out for its a damn fine deal.
Ok so we didnt buy it, but its still a great car. Also got to look and drive a 01 Cobra 4500 miles and it was all mine for 26k OTD, only problem was its zinc yellow! oh well another story.
