Ditto. I, too, have driven the zx3 countless times (family member has one) and i don't know how someone can say it drives like sheeet. I think it drives great, and just thinking about the svt makes me surely want to try one out. And, of course, there are those who don't like the looks of it. That is something YOU (Tony) need to decide on. Believe me, there are plenty of people who think contours are ugly.
I sat in the svt focus and i was very impressed. Interior looked much better than my svt (black, mmmm) and from my experiences with the zx3, i'm sure with less rattles. Would i trade in my 'tour for it? Thought about it. Probably wouldn't go through with it because the 'tour, IMO, has a more adult (for lack of a better word) look to it.
