20 days later.... the car is ready i'm going to pick it up tonight after work.

tomorrow, the complaint process continues. Its time to see how ford will compensate us.

once that is sorted out. the car will likley be sold. returned or traded in for an 02~04 wrx...

... I dont even want the car anymore.

thats one way around having insurance not cover installing F/I, buy a car with it!!

but at least you got it back, and good luck giving it to Ford. make sure you emphasize that you thought you were a preferred customer(SVT) and that you most likely will be buying a high performance Import nad will likely stray away from Ford in the future.

That's crazy, man.

Going 2002 WRX is probably your best bet, anyways. Simple mods will have you pushing stupid amounts of power in no time :)

Smartest thing you've said in 2 years.

Best of luck Steve-0.

Make sure you tell them WHY you're dumping the car.
Then call Ford and tell them WHY you're getting rid of the car.

and that is the sad thing Ford as of recently has forgoten that one of the most powerfull forms of advertising is word of mouth, I loved my ZX3 but the amount of grief that Ford gave me over the ownership of the car wasn't worth it anymore. I hope you find that WRX ASAP I loved the one I test drove a few years ago, and one more thing WRX's aren't about looks they are about performance.
