Hey BROOKSZX3, I noticed on your tag on Steeda.ca you say "the last new SVT focus sold in Canada" Can you tell me when you bought yours? I just bought my 2003 BRAND NEW on June 16th 2004. It was a left over demo with only 500km on it. Not trying to steal your thunder, it just got me thinking.

his is a 2004 and it was the last "BRAND NEW" meaning not a demo...
a 2003 demo is not a brand new car even thought it seem brand new to you.
btw, congrat on your purchase.

lol no worries man. Yeah, mine is an 04, so I should have made that clear cause I know there was an 03 at another dealer too. I bought on June 30, 2004. That info came from my dealer when they were attempting to locate one for me. Locater indicated 4 left in canada, 1 in calgary, 1 in ottawa, and 2 in st thomas... when they called to get a dealer trade the only ones left were calgary and st thomas... (both were reluctant to return calls, in fact mine was spoken for from someone else but it fell thru ;) ) So by the time we secured mine in st thomas, there were no more to be found on the dealer locater... so it's possible someone may have a later purchase date than me in calgary, but whatever lol
Congrats on your purchase too! :D Where did you buy from?

mine actually had 198 kms on it by the time it arrived at my dealer from the trade(about 60 km I'd say). I suppose between that and test drives, fueling up, and the staff maybe beating on it a few times... who knows?
Now I have 5025kms :o :P :P good thing she's gonna get stored over winter!

I just put my stock continentals & svt wheels back on the car tonight, ready for testing on Friday... :o I want my fusions back on!! Even though the fusions aren't the most aggressive tire, they have a very nice sensation on the road. These feel like i'm above the road, almost hovering on the tires... strange lol
I haven't driven on these tires yet, so let's hope I keep it on the track!
But still... I agree it's such a treat to corner either way :D
ps the fusions were 40's instead of 45's too, so...

Cool, I've been to that dealer a few times.
They've got a crazy selection of SVT's for some reason.
