Yeah, mine being a 01, I'm lucky that it's come back with ZERO recalls...I asked about that before I bought it actually, and DeWildt Chrysler said they got it's history before they bought it, and apparently my particualr car was one of few without any recalls...only had the TSB from Ford regarding the springs... which won't bother me coz I'm replacing the entire suspension this year anyways.

The car is still a blast to drive, and though I've aged it by 2 years in the last 14 months, it's still running strong (or even stronger) than when I first got it. I just wish it didn't have that stupid windage noise in the tranny...ah well...my MBRP and my stereo drown that noise out anyways...lol!

I'd buy my car again, and actually consider having a 2nd one too...They have better interiors, more hp and tq than an equivalent civic, corolla, cavalier, neon, etc...cost less than them (except the cavi), I mean c'mon...for what the Focus is, and what it costs to buy, it's gotta be the best compact out there in it's pricerange...
