It's an '05 4dr SES SRT whatever that means... I personally think it's just a bunch of letters strung together to get you to pay more - but hey - it's a full load and I'm incredibly happy with it. Apparently it's been winterized for cold Edmonton weather {Any idea what this means?}

Anyways - I thought I'd dig up some research on the car. I didn't realise the ford focus was such a focused group but I'm certainly glad to be a part of the community.

Ciao for now.

Welcome to the forum. Never heard of the "SRT" designation for the SES model so it might be a local thing out your way. I've got the same SES '05 as you and find it a comfortable ride.

I'm assuming that your Focus came with the Pirelli P6 tires, if they are, I'll immediately suggest winter tires & rims or budget for replacement before winter because those tires are evil handlers in the snow (Traction control & ABS only gets you so far)

If you have any questions, please ask, there are many of us more than willing to help :)
