It was quicker than the normal ZX3 but didn't really seem that much different. (not worth the extra 5k anyway). I was impressed with the amount of features that it had though. Lots of goodies. but when I can pick up a nicely loaded focus or protege for 12-14k, it's a tough call.
yeh, i liked the FSVT alot. but the more i think about it, the more i realize how much better my CSVT is. two more doors, more room, more power and better looks. of course with the FSVT the aftermarket support was about 10x that of the CSVT before the FSVT was even available. so i guess there are alot of ways of looking at it. the FSVT has some nice touches that i would have enjoyed on mine. such as the door sill plates, pedals, six speed and one touch to open moonroof. but all things considered i still like my CSVT better.
