Ford Focus vs. TL? Not even in the same class.

The Tranny is much better in the Focus.

the focus is SUCH a turd. they get recalled every 2 minutes. once it was recalled for the wheel might fall off. grant it the TL and CL was recalled for tranny problems but i'd rather have tranny problems vs A WHEEL FALL OFF. plus the resale value on a ford is HORRIBLE.
BTW: I rode in a SVT focus at a SCCA Solo2 event the interior felt 2nd rate. I got in a new(at the time) 04 Civic Si it was a lot better materials plus i just felt like everything was better constructed.

If your concidering a compact. wait until the new civic si hits. 200 hp.it's based on the new Accord block. my dad works for Honda America the Anna plant where most of the car motors are made. he's been telling me about the next generation Si motor. it will take 8000 rpms and they are saying 200 hp.
