Speaking of shifting problems, I had the hardest time driving a 2001 Neon mtx. Maybe it was just me, but it seems like the gears were just too close together, and almost everytime I wanted to go into 3rd, I would go into 5th. Sorry to waste your time, back to the Focus (which I have also driven in mtx (SE), and I think it is VERY nice....)
