I was actually looking for an auto wagon, and ended up buying a 5 spd! They're rare as hen's teeth, only one I ever saw after looking at tons of different ones. Makes the experience much more fun.

They're easier to find than you people think... 2 summers ago when my buddy was looking.
we saw 5 or 6.... most of them in pretty good condition..
Now finding a 5spd ZTW is pretty difficult... we only saw 2 of those.

You bet! Although I like the SPI mileage, I couldn't stand having one knowing I could have had a zetec. It's not super fast, but it is peppy, and loves to rev high. Dropped into second gear today after redlining in first and had a suprising amount of wheel spin. Left a nice patch of rubber on the road back there looking through my rear view mirror. ;)
Plus this wagon is black in colour with 15" alloy wheels. I personally quite like the stock alloys on the early foci, think they look quite nice.
