Do you like hot hatchbacks? The 2002-2004 svt focus may be your cup of tea Starting of with a cosworth designed 2.0l zetec And a sporty 6 speed manual transmission It has more horsepower and a 6 speed vs the si of that generations 5 speed The car is very light and small but with the folding rear seats leaves you plenty of space to move your stuff around Now how do they hold up being well over 20 years after production They hold up amazing! They had a low production number but still plenty on the road well over 200,000 miles, my personal focus has 175,000 miles . They handle very well taking corners without a thought of rolling Now onto the bad, they are picky cars. Oem parts are all you can use without having more issues The transmission feels stiff in the cold The car struggles in snow and ice. So if your winter driving snow tires are a must all seasons do not work By this time 23 years later they need suspension work so if you buy inspect it and negotiate The gas prices aren’t as good as you think I average maybe 28 mpg on the highway and this car requires premium fuel Now all and all. This focus is amazing, I recommend it to car enthusiast and someone that wants a fun daily

This is my CD Silver SVT Focus 4-door. It is build number 889 out of a total production of 1079. It's relatively stock as far as drivetrain and suspension goes.

Performance- acceleration is fantastic for a naturally Aspirated 2.0. Evidently it was the fastest 2.0L FWD Naturally Aspirated car in north America in 2003. Braking is 10 out of 10, and handling is through the roof. Quality is been about a 9 out of 10 Appearance is spectacular both inside and out Ownership has been wonderful with good gas milage around 30-29 mpg, and virtually now maintenance until now when I installed a new clutch at 80,000 miles. Fun Factor= extremely fun to drive.

The Special Vehicle Team (SVT) at Ford used to give all of their attention to muscle cars. They took some time out from V-8 engines to develop the Ford Focus SVT, a surprisingly peppy and fun car. Ford does not advertise its Focus SVT; the little vehicle gets by on word-of-mouth advertising, and built itself quite a fan base in a short time.
