Why does the SVT Focus suck?
#21
You would think that being a "SVT vehicle" it would have a higher standard then the regular blue ovals....When it comes to the import scene, domestic cars just suck.... Sad

The sad part is that SVT vehicles are usually built much better than an average vehicle. I hardly ever hear of problems with the lightning or cobra. I would definatly be unhappy if i paid an extra $5k to get a "better" vehicle and it didn't cut the cake.

That's because most of the best imports are made overseas.

I really tried to let this go, but I read through the rest of the forum, and I couldn't stop laughing about it... so I just can't let it go- sorry. :lol:

my accord was made in indiana. not sure what the parts percentage is of japanese parts, but it's definitely alot.



Feersty...i wouldn't go so far as to say the focus sucks. its a very capable car. just because you can't pull power out of the engine to the same extent as an integra (for instance) doesnt mean its a bad car.

don't forget, in europe they have a focus we'll never see here called the RS. it's a freaking animal and stock vs. stock, would pummel most fwd imports that are sold here. unfortunately America gets the shaft and we don't alot of the cool cars that Asia and Europe get.

He made this thread way back b/c of a comment I made in another thread. If you read though you will see why I said the SVT focus sucked.
