Does it really amaze anybody else out there that the age difference from Focus owners is huge?
Like everybody has seen people in their 70's driving a Focus sedan or Wagon right?
And then theres young kids buying ZX3's.
Ford's target market for the Focus must have been anybody.
Theres done up Foci's around here being driven by young punks like myself, even chicks having done up Sedans. Then theres married family guys doing the same thing, but twice my age.
Today I was walking up to my car in a parking lot, and a man in his 70's I would assume, was doing cirles around my car, I was like wtf, I thought he had done some damage to my car or something. I walked up, and the classic question "what is it?" came out of his mouth.
Lol - why did he even care what it was? He was half blind I think anyways.
Quite the diverse Focus crowd...

its their new world car ;)
Here they're almost all zx5.. my ex's dad bought one.. my buddies dad also bought a zx3.. but i have seen pretty much any age.. saw a soccer mom driving an SVT.. I was so pissed hehehe
If you consider all models, there are ALOT of focus' on the road. Around here, its almost as much as j-bodies and hondas (of course not as much). But there are alot of sedans, and wagons are very popular..
Not alot of young people around my age (21) driving them around. Specially not 2 years ago.. guess they are getting more appealing with their 1/10 prices compared to new ones hehehehe
ZX3T gone..

Here in Regina you will see any where from 30 + driving a stock focus. No intention to modding. You may also come acrossSome highschool kids with some and younger. It is a really good starter car.
How ever the guys like myself that are into the "scene" and modding are 17-27

Here in Brampton there is only 3 Foci I've seen done up a silver sedan in my neighborhood, a yellow Zx3, and mine. other then that it's Wagons, Sedans round here it's rare to see the ZX3 or ZX5 here often it's single wemen driving sedans here & the old people 60+ driving gold wagons. anything after that is the typical soccer moms wagon.
And 25 here with 5 years ownership of Ford Foci. ( 2 thus far )
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

Foci are everywhere. Have only seen one SVT on the road in WPG. See lots of silver ones besides the two silver guys in my driveway. My neighbour drives a blue zx3. My bros g/f has a blue zx3. The SVT will become my wifes when the kid arrives and I will begin working on the zx3. She don't want to drive a "nipped up" focus...even with me being part Japanese, the rice don't fly. :ph34r:
