    a ford focus is forein you twit. they are made in Europe, but some how I think you knew that.

    The pile-o-parts on this thing is way sweet, check out this link for more info. People have dynoed it and they are finding that it put out 180 HP at the wheels, so that is about 200 at the crank.

    more gti info

    Pretty sweet ride, but I don't dig the weird 2 tone paint.

    Also, those Recaro seats don't really fit in with that car. I think they'd look much better in, say, my Jeep

    Seriously, nice car. I bet it's a kick in the *** to drive.

    Two words for ya... car payment.



    Sweet *** car though. If you buy it, I'll drive it. Or if nothing else, we're taking your ride to lunch from now on.

    that means no bueno in head and leg room

    yea, i'm a not to stoked on the payment, but not much choice on that one. the one bug-a-boo might be that I am self employed and have never bought a car before.

    Ironicaly my employies can show employment because I pay them. But that logic does not work for me. what a scam.

    Dave, if I get it, I will gladly be be the designated lunch driver. But with my current work schedual, it may only be on weekends. oh well.

    Steve, I think you will be supprised. German cars tend to have more leg room that their jap counter parts. even though it is small, i still don't feel clautrophobic in it and don't look throught the top third of the front window like a Honda. Then again, I am pretty biased.

    Jack,

    You've been talking about one of these for far too long...suck it up and get it. Either you really will love it or you'll hate it and take the hit and go to something else next. You know I'm on your side, I'm a sucker for those Eurotrash cars...

    You need the Diesel, they are way cooler.
    My boss has one, he is 6'4 and he got it because it has more room than most cars and gets like 50 mpg.

    Ah, ok. Unfortunately a diesel is slow and handles like "a canoe full of water on stilts". Not exactly what I was looking for. I do love it though it is way fly. Thanks for all who have posted their comments, it is really a fun car to drive. Fast and it handles like it is on rails.

    Dang Brune, if I knew this is what sex was like, I would have gotten one sooner. Can't wait till I get a grand on the clock, so I can open her up and see what she will do. Kept on the bumper of a 4.6 GT the other night and I was not pushing it all the way. Man those things must be dogs.
