LOL to the welcome WAGON
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I'm a bit of a ford guy TBH and have had 3 1991-1995 Escorts that ran like charms (since 1991 mixed in for 1-2 yeas were an SVT lightning and an M3). I always got at least 500k to a tank even with over 300k on them and never had one mechanical problem. I figured the focus was next logical step and I needed the extra room. It's a 5spd so it should be mileage and service friendly. So yes, I was always looking at a wagon and for the money I wanted to spend I don't think you'd find a roomier vehicle, with all the toys and good mpg but I'm biased as well :)
Run on sentences rule!
