How's it going. I currently own a Contour SVT and have been considering picking up a focus as a second car. In 2003 I had the pleasure of driving a new Focus as a rental car in Ireland and absolutely loved it, it had the best transmission I have ever shifted. Any suggestions for a quality 2nd hand Focus?

Check out the 05-07 Focus ST. The 2.3 engine is great.
