i have a 2008 ford focus SE Coupe. it is quick, automatic which makes it a little boring to drive at times. but it does 0-60 in 8 seconds. will be adding a flowmaster exhaust kit and K&N Intake this summer.
ive been able to lead and chase BMW's and Nissan's well on the highway.
it performs well after it gets going, off the line is meh. It's all about how you drive it.
can't expect it to be fast. It gets 35 mpgs! if you want a fast car, stay away from FWD lol. I have a SVT Focus but don't use it for straight line at all lol
It's a good video but I gave it a 3 rating for calling it a shitbox. It's not supposed to be quick. It does an average 0-60 time. about 8.5 seconds. Quick it may not be, but far from a shitbox. Oh, and it's indeed a 4-speed automatic.
ya im 6'4 250 and i now what you mean but i would highly recommend looking for a car or truck that dosnt have a center arm rest going from the back of the front seat to the dash with the gear selector on it look for a car/truck that has a full bench thats a floor mounted standard or a automatic on the tree. i have a ford ranger regular cab that fits me fine, most cars have plenty of room for the knees but a center console makes it to confining.
I had a focus for a few days but it was WAY too small for me - but any small car is.
It had the 2.0 it was a quick little car.
Since it is a ford automatic, the computer is programmed to redline at 3000-4000 (depending on model) in neutral to minimize damage when people do neutral bombs.
Haha yeah I hear ya I am 6'3 250 and this car is a wee bit small. It is considerably faster than a friends 01 Civic LX 4dr automatic with the 1.7L non-vtec. His car also has a limiter in P or N. But in drive WOT it does shift at the 6500rpm redline. Thanks for watching!
