Hey Guys..
Great topic and some great info..
I am currenmtly getting a little tired of my Sunfire GT(won't buy another one!!) and looking for something different and searches for info on the Focus brought me here..

I started just wanting a cheap Automatic commuter with Air..

But in looking I have noticed that the Focus seems to be a huge deal compared to other cars..For around $10k I can get an '03 fully, fully, fully,loaded with very low km..!!
The other option was a Jetta but for around $10k I'm looking at a very used and abused car with high km..
As for the Civic...Not even in the ballpark..

So then I became concerned..Why are these cars so cheap??...Are they junk..Lemons..Whats the scoop..
And as I've been reading here and in other places, it seems that they are cheap because they are "Ford Focus's" and that seems to be the main reason..
And thoughts on that..Anybody else come to the same conclusion..
All that being said..I have never been a Ford guy, but I think my next car will be a 2001-2004 Focus 4 dr sedan..(with a rear scoop)...(probably in the next month or two)..

I'd really like to hear your any opions on why I shouild or shouldn't??
Any help is muchly appreciated..And that includes you '05 and newer guys as well.. ;)
