Welcome -- and as you can see there's lots of folks on here willing to give you their thoughts and opinions and most of it is the result of hard-earned personal experience.
About the only thing that hasn't been mentioned but you should know ... is that Ford made some significant changes to the Focus beginning with the '05 model year, including a new engine, different brakes, a new interior, a couple of new body parts and a few other things.
What this means for you is that not all the mods you'll read about here are available for your car, as most here own cars from 2000 to 2004.
There's a few members who do own '05s (not sure about any '06s) and others who work for Ford or a Ford dealer, and I'm sure they'll help you figure these things out.
Cheers
