Since Oct. '03 from 34k to about 41.5k. I wanted somthing smaller than my SUV for gas milage, but still fun and can hall some stuff, you know college life. The sight of the gold "Sport" caught my eye on the lot and the spoiler said GO. Once I test drove the Duratech manual, the power gadgets and moonroof made me want it. It didn't hurt that I was raised to love Fords.
