just to add some fuel to the fire. . .
 

Just to keep the thread going, and point out that P5's are better than Foci's, the guy I work with who has the Focus SVT (He's had it about 3 weeks now) just had to take it back to the dealer to get the power steering pump fixed. I know, it's kind of ironic that this happened to a Focus, isn't it? :D

Just to bounce back on that. I have a friend with a P5 and he had to take his car back in the first week because his moldings on the doors were coming off. So now this shows that every car has little glitches, and its not always the design of the car it may be the person who assembled it. ;)

A stock Pro Sedan, P5 will out handle a SVT any day.

Our cars are handling giants. The SVT will kick on the straight away, they have more power.

The SVT is not a handling giant. North American cars will never out handle the Japan, German models.

Come on guys.

Although that's what we like to believe......it's not true. A Focus SVT will outhandle a stock Protege and Protege5. The Focus was designed in Europe, raised in Europe and later sold here.
