HI. I just joined the forum. I am from north Bay Ontario. I just bought a 2005 Focus ZX4 ST. it has 40000 on the clock but looks great. I'll do some reading before I ask any questions. I was looking for a Nissan Sentra Vspec but couldn't find one nearby. So we took the focus for a spin and I was impressed by the low end torque and handling. I am 38 and married so last few vehicles have been stodgy powerless cars. I am hoping this will fill 2 needs as I can have fun while driving the family for once. I'd love a musclecar from the 60s but cant afford it.
ANyways--hello.

Welcome to the site. You now own a vehicle which will fill all your needs, a good family car with a ton of fun packed into it as well. I think you'll find a lot of information and ideas here. Oh, and never mind what some things that are said about owning a sedan. Sedans, ( or CDans ) are cool.

Welcome to the site, you'll find tonnes of info, and mod info, not to mention info when your car has issues when they occure.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.
