When we bought our 2000 Focus wagon I liked the way it handled. In particular, the steering wheel was the right size - I find most too big - and the power steering bias was almost perfect.
But, as always, I wanted a little more. Now, with eibach sway bars and rear suspension, KW adjustable fronts, etc... etc... (you can see the list below) I'm very happy with its handling and braking.
Engine mods are pretty minor but I prefer working on handling/brakes first. For a wagon, it's a blast to drive and I'd be quite happy to drive for a long time just as it is. Extra power will just be icing-on-the-cake.
cheers, happyguy.
