It's down 11 hp and 10 tq to the mazdaspeed3 but weighs in about 100 lbs less...sounds like a dead heat!

Simple I wouldn't buy a Ford Fucus unless it was the only car you could buy left on the planet , There is a good reason Ford stands for " Found On Road Dead " or Fixed Or Repaired Daily" .

Wow...never heard those before.

You do realize the year is 2012, right? This isn't mid 80's tempo or a 70's pinto.

Ford has produced a good product for quite some time, arguably the best US company. For years the Euro focus has not been available (WRC fans know what I am talking about).

Do you think Nissan is a quality king?

sorry ford guys, but i have avoided ford products for a lifetime, due to the countless reliability issues and repair bills i have witnessed. only one guy i have ever known has had good luck. its a 97 ford f150, and has about 125,000 miles. other than that? i could go on about friends, neighbors, etc. that have bought new fords that completely died before 60,000 miles. an the ones that didnt? spend half the time in the shop. yes, all car makers have lemons, defects, and what not. but ford and dodge are notorious for reliability failure. sorry steve lol. i see another quote coming...
