I'm really not sure about that.. but if a ZX3 can do a 9sec.. than 11sec for a wagon is a bit slow..
but I think I slammed too hard on the accelerator for the 1st gear.. cos there was a wheel spin before the car actually moved.. maybe that is 1sec.. I'm not sure.. hehehe.. anyway, 11sec with 2 adults and a wagon, guess its a fair timing..

I think the Focus is heavy. I was doing 6.8-7.2 0-60mph with my neon R/T and 7.3-7.5 on my camry v6. neon is only 150hp and camry is 192hp... but camry didn't feel that fast until I started timing it. My Focus is doing 12.3-12.6 for 0-60mph. My 105hp corolla did 8.0-8.5sec. So there's something that's not making sense why focus is above the 10sec range.

Well, I guess u are right.. Focus is heavy.
There was one time when me and my friend (Acura 1.7LE) was suck in snow in a parking lot, it was so easy pushing the Acura out of the deep snow by myself.. but when come to my focus.. 2 of us couldn't even move it.. But one thing I love about my focus is the body.. it is really well built and (touch wood) I'm sure I can survive an accident and still recognise the car if I ever have one..
