Got me a new(er) daily driver!!

12/19mpg on an e30?? You'd have to really beat on the thing!

Well, the average speed is about 9mph that's why its that bad.

You never thought to ask your self why a car from 2007 coast $6000 ? I mean it's awesome that you like it but those cars are made like poop. 6k can buy you a lot of other nice reliable cars

My wife has a Focus TDCi mk2.5 Euro version and its great to drive. It sips fuel like a small car, but it whips up some good power when needed. At 2.0, I think it can match an N/A gas engine with a 3.0 displacement. We've had it for 4 years now. The Focus TDCi will leave my m20b25 eating dust any day whether its a drag race or a long run, and will cover a farther distance too. E30 does 12mpg city, while the Focus does 28mpg. On the highway, E30: 19mpg; TDCi: 47mpg. Both are A/T, E30 has an EH while Focus has DSG. I like both cars a lot. Hate the plastic panels on the Focus though. They're so cheap, everything is plastic and squeaks like crazy. Even the bulb sockets are so cheap, they're more brittle than BMW 25 year old ones.

Do you really think bashing the last great INDEPENDENT (non subsidised) American motor car company is what you should be doing to help the economy? Do you think by doing this you will HELP the American economy come out of the slump it currently is in?

Do you really think buying a used car in canada is really going to help the american economy?


But on a nicer note I have nothing against the car that you bought, I would not mind something other than a megasquirted e30 for a DD.

Automatic, what a boring car. Should have put the money into hookers...lots of hookers.

Honda/Toyota are overrated.

good luck with the new ride!

I'd rather drive a manual though, even in Vancouver traffic. Automatics drive me insane.

[TurboJake]

Gotta love cars with good WORKING A/C!.

Hell yeah you do. One of the many reasons why I love my E30.

[einhander]

Haters gonna hate...

Congrats on the Focus. They're quite fun.

[NeedaE30]

lol, while i am not a fan, at all of the ford focus. my buddy had one a while ago and made it into a pretty sweet little hatch back but he spent like 15k on mods ... either way if its good for you then it is what it is.

congrats on the purchase

I'm proud to be an American. I didn't say ford suck balls, ford makes some good cars just not the focus. Sadly my cousin sold the focus and got a mustang, now with over 200k.

Like fix the Focus when it breaks.

really dude, is that all you can say about Ford? ...sad

Should've got a Honda or Toyota. My cousin had a Focus couple years ago and its is a piece of shit so he sold it.

Meh should have got the Volvo my sister had a 2007 focus what a piece of shit

You guys are really a sad bunch.

Sure, I know the American cars may lack in fit and finish, but overall they easily get the job done and do it for a fraction of what your fancy Toyotas and Hondas can do it in. Parts are cheaper, and far more readily available too.

I dunno about you, but I'm proud of America and everything it has accomplished and continues to do.

Maybe you'd be far happier living in China gluing soles to the bottoms of Nike runners for $5 a day?

[TimKninja]

I did consider a toy or honda. I find I can do better things with the additional 3g's I saved

Like fix the Focus when it breaks.
