The replacement car I am looking at is the Lincoln Zepher.ÃÂ The MKZ, now has the larger motor, that I don't need, as fuel econmy driving 100kms per day is an issue.ÃÂ I also don't need a second vehicle equipped with four wheel drive, which the new MKZ has.
So she is getting a major upgrade.
But I would never count out the Focus, especially an SVT, becuase it is a car we both enjoy.

Good idea man, but the Zephyr? Don't those come with a free GPS subscription and a pack of Depends? :D

You drove the Fusion? Same suspension with upgrades. Very good handling characteristics for a Lincoln.

I'll agree if you're talking about the 4-cyl... the V6 with AWD is push push push... lots of understeer with spirited driving.
