EDIT: i posted something longer.. and instead i'm going to sum it up by saying ... before you get started, run the numbers and really make sure you are going to get something that is actually better in some meaningful way than what is already on the market elsewhere in stock form

I have thought about this a few times. Most of the cars I would like to get are pretty expensive. Mustang GT, Mazda 6 GT V6, Volvo S40 T5, WRX, the upcoming MazdaSpeed 3 and SRT-4. Most of these cars would be around 30,000 and up. Purchasing any of these cars would be a pretty big financial commitment. I would like the new car warranty though. With the Focus I can buy parts as I can afford them and don't have to lock myself into a 5 year purchase plan. Someday I hope to use the Focus as my winter/seconday car and have a nice sports car for my summer ride. Used 350Z, Mustang GT...etc.
