I do alot of traveling with my dad since he works with the ship yard as aproject sup all over the country. When the car rental places dont have his usual type of cars in (seabring conv's, mustangs, etc.) they give him focuses or stratus. ive notcied alot with the focuses in the coeple we've had that the interior creaks, doesn't handle the best, haven't seen good gas mileage in them.The car overall didn't hold up to our standards. We took them through the roads out in Hurricane Ridge in Washington. It didnt perform nearly as well as the Stratus had or the Magnum(I know a compleetely diff vehicle) So once again like I said earlier, everyone has their own opinion, if they don't like mine. Oh well. Ive stated it. And T00cool or w/e his name is...it is my cuz's car not my bros. He wouldn't buy one.
