eh make fun of the focus all you want, but it has a fully independent suspension all four corners, and with the nitrous it makes 150hp/150tq according to Ford, did the 1/4 mile in 14.0 stock, bigger brakes . Granted its not the greatest looking car, the chassis is 15 years old now and we never got the C1 focus... I'd still drive a regular one. I have been tempted by an svt 5 door hatch a few times, minus the dated looks and 'what everyone else thinks' factor they aren't "bad" cars.

QFT. I had a 2001 Focus, and it was a very nice vehicle. The 14.0 1/4 mile must've been with N20. My near-stock Focus ran 15.7.

yes thats with the nitrous, without it they rate it at 15.8... but for the money a 2001ish focus isnt a bad deal for an autox car, but I found a nice miata for my budget instead

edit - thought the 150hp/tq seemed low for the car with nitrous...its 150 hp/tq WITHOUT the nitrous, and 225 hp/250tq with nitrous
