Can anybody clear this up for me? If the 2004 Focus could be had with the Duratec (and theres one near Toronto :P) it will surely be my next car!The 2.3 starting in '03 was indeed a Duratec PZEV (23E) available only in the U.S. to meet the then stringent California emissions. Ford went with the 2.3 version at first because the emissions controls on the 2.0 cost 10 hp.
Thanks in advance!

If you find an '04 with a 2.3 it is most likely a U.S. car and you should be very careful about it's history - the U.S. market is full of cars that were written off due to flood damage, but repaired and sold anyway.
If you really set on a 2.3, look for an '05 - and get all the nicer suspension and interior bits too.
