I bought this car after my 97 mustang was totalled and I adore this car! I have been able to find tons of mods with little effort and is easy to fix personally (I am a chick with minor expeirence). I love the sleek style and for a 4cyl my little 5 speed is QUICK and hugs turns! I have had no issues and has 181xxx miles. The only issue i ran into was i had to replace the rear hatch support but took maybe 45mins. I highly reccommend it best bang for your buck!

Great car, the zetec isnt the most powerful engine but it's got aftermarket potential. Mine is now supercharged. Handling is amazing with the aftermarket goodies I've added. Build quality is great, with the big stereo it doesnt rattle up the interior. Reliability is amazing, no major repairs needed, swapped to a focus motor with 340 000 km on it and it was still running strong. Parts are cheap and it looks amazing, it's aged very well.

Performance- Quick off the line, 130hp, 125ft/torque, grips like a rollercoaster ( you not gonna loose traction while highspeed cornering) Build Quality- Its a high end fast fun car. No repairs. Costs- Great fuel milage (24mpg and up) Fun- ITS FAST! No body roll, handles like a rollercoaster on its tracks.

Love the 2.0 Zetec manual, great motor best Zetec they make, looks nice, doesn't look like a ricer. don't see to many of them. love all my mods i've done, with lots to go! :) wish it was lighter, more HP and Torque.
