Nice SVT Focus! My younger sister just picked up a Focus ZX3 and made me start thinking of my secret lust for the SVT of the same vintage. This photo only supports those thoughts. Thank you, I'm off to peruse autotrader classifieds until my eyes bleed.

Thanks, I love the thing. I've had a bunch of faster/sexier/less orange cars come and go since picking this up a few years ago. They're amazing little cars with a big personality.

Happy birthday! Here's a few for that, and some thrown in for Christmas as well! Small hatchbacks coming right up!

I think I'm missing the core concept of small hatchback here...

Oh well!

Hey this one kinda has a hatch...

OK, small hatchback for you here

And since it is your birthday, here are some candles, these may or may not be trick candles...

It's my Granddaughter's birthday as well. Happy Birthday.

Have a shot of drifting in Atlanta, back when that was legal. http://www.prettytoohammered.com/2011/11/s2s-sl…

Oh, it's yours?! That's awesome! That orange and those rims look great!

How's your ownership experience been with it? What's your MPG like?

I honestly think a lot of my like for the Fiesta ST comes from the SVT Focus. I really wish Ford (or anyone) still made a Naturally Aspirated hot hatch.

That mustang all liveried up looks dope, that Challenger is sinister and that Porsche is basically the image equivalent of birthday sex. Thanks!

Shit, just had a second look at the blue 3 series photo and it looks like Neuschwanstein in the background! Epic shot!

Idk, I'm not really crazy about it, it doesn't really do anything for me, it's just sort of there....

RWBs on the other hand.....

Thanks. I bought it with 91k on it and needing a bunch of love. The previous owners had abused it and done some stupid fixes. Other than fixing their mistakes I've only had to replace the IMRC and the cam sensor, everything else was just regular maintenance. I'm at 125k with it now.

It's very different to drive than any of the turbo cars. The engine is lazy down low, so no tire spinning starts. But once it's above 5k it comes alive. Because of this I only get 26mpg average; it's just too much fun spinning it to 7500. If you get on the highway and just cruise it gets 32-33mpg.

I don't use it as a daily driver anymore, but I find that I appreciate it even more now. The steering is damn near telepathic, the brakes are incredibly responsive, and the engine/gearbox combo means once you're moving at a good clip you're always in the powerband. Overall, I'd highly recommend owning one, just make sure it has been cared for.

treating me very well. So proud that Mexican hands built such a good car.
