I don't know much about them other than that they run low 15s and handle quite well.

Yea I was just asking because if it is more than 22k out the door there are more better built,faster,and better looking (in the eyes of the beholder)cars for the price.Unless it is the car you always wanted shop around and test drive all day.Test drive days are fun unless they try to keep you there all day and pressure you $^(.Good luck on your final result Koticone

No. Better build quality and chassis than a neon, which is really not hard to do. They actually handle quite nicely (although I've only driven the hatch) and are very popular in Europe. That being said, there are a lot of cars I'd take instead, but a neon is definitely not one of them.

I'd take a Geo over a Focus. My cousin has one and has had nothing but problems. Neon and Focus both IMO again "IMO" are bad. but I'd take the Neon over it

Statements like this really aggravate me..

My dad has owned nothing but F-150's and F-250's without a single problem..

My uncle, has had his 2 months and been back to the shop 7 times..

Your basing the SVT Focus is Garbage off of 1 damn car.. Focus's are decently built economy cars and the SVT has some pep to it, handles quite well and there is a decent aftermarket for them..

FocalX (I think that is still his name) had a pretty decently built focus running low 12's IIRC.. Ask him about them and their aftermarket abilities..
