Newest DD, 2003 SVT Focus

[x4bngr]

Just took a job in Milwaukee (50 mile drive one way) and can't afford to drive to F-150. Picked this one up Saturday. Just over 40,000 miles. Very clean. One owner. Not thrilled about the ricer wheels but they will eventually be replaced. Pretty peppy for a four banger and fun to drive.

You'll like the car its actually fun to drive, I just bought one a few months ago. I knock down between 20 and 22mpg and thats all city, and thats having fun while I drive.

my brother had one of these, not the fastest car but damn do they handle ! rota makes a ton of nice looking wheels for these cars, cant go wrong with the stock euros tho !

It's certainly no F-150, but hey you gotta do what ya gotta do. 30+ mpg is way better than 10 or so anyday!!!

I dig the wheels. Nice DD for sure :thumbsup:

Sago is selling a vortech supercharger kit for the SVT focus..brand new, never used. Comes with Injectors and everything.

The wheels arnt horrible...just tooo big! I like those cars alot and looks like you got a really clean one. Id say look into a 16in wheel for it....unless those are 16's which i doubt...anywho, like said above, ROTA makes real cheap replica wheels. Check em out or just rock it how it is...the wheels arnt too bad! Nice buy!

All it needs is a tint and some new wheels.

I don't know what SVT focus you have driven. But mine never had 30+ MPG. However, that is probably because it is a six speed and fun...:naughty1: BTW nice car and where are the OE rims. I love the cobra focus wheels. FTW...

I remember racing one with a turbo and god knows what else done to it a few years ago in FL. I had a slightly modded 94 gt and that thing took me by about 2 cars, throwing 1 foot flames out of the exhaust.

An update on my DD. Last Wednesday I was driving home from Milwaukee (55 miles one way). Got a flat in West Allis (near Milwaukee mile) and for the life of me, could not find a gas station with air. So, I tried to change the tire and the douche that owned the car did not include the socket attacment. No tools, no air. Finally drove to a Checkers and bought a ratchet set. The flat tire was shredded. Rim was OK but I didn't like them in the first place. Wednesday night I ordered new wheels and tires. (BFG gForce AS - 17-215/45). Tirerack had them at my door by 10 a.m. Friday morning, mounted and balanced!

So, here is a new pic (low quality from camera phone).

BTW, my last two tanks of gas, I averaged 29.5 MPG on the highway.

car looks good.

New wheels look so much better!

29.5 mpg sounds very attractive.
