Well I went to Jannel ford today to check out the focus. I was not expexting all that much, but I guess more than I should have. The stiicker was a but more than 19 thousand which is a few to a couple less than my contour when she was new. It was inside which meant the hood was openm and I could see in. My biggest problem isa ll of the plastic. I guesss I could have lived with the plastic shrouding everywhere, but a metal svt placard would have been nice. My other concern was the air intake, from what I could see there were two breathers that fed the air filter. One was up close to the grill, but one was stuck in a hot corner. My other problem was the oil cooler which seems to be an 8 foot tube bent back and forth in front of the radiator. As for the seats I do not care for the cloth inserts or the off quality leather. Looks neat though.

Sorry guys just had to vent. I do not mean to pick anyone that likes them or has one, I was just a bit let down when I saw it. I guess I was just wondering what kind of conversation I could spark up with this.

What are your feelings about the matter?
