sorry to resurrect an old post, but i am back... but with an MS3... the focus I got after the vibe was the worst car ownership experience ever.

remusrm

as some of you know I have an 06 focus and had tein the wrongs ones on and was ok(06 has different suspension then the previous models), then I went to sportline and they were crap. Can not find their way over any pavement, they ride really unevenly because of them being progressive. Now I got the p...

well i had a vibe but put too many miles on it and started to have some issues and got a focus... nice car, but the vibe was better in a few ways... just wanted to say hi...

remusrm

i like the magnum, but here in cali every baller and their grandma has one... i hate cali... one car every one has it. i drove the base 2.7 chrysler 300 and i liked it but rather felt like a truck over bumps. gas milage is a big no no in this case... but if you like it go for it...

I got a kenwood kdc 232 and is fine in my new focus since my stock system stoped to play cds of any kind. so the kenwood it does not have low pass/high pass filters. Is that a need option? The kenwoos i also hard to use, i mean to get ot, since the new ones have a really weird knob and I play alot o...

this car is dog slow even with the 2.0 engine... my buddy and i drove it seince he needed another car. his chrysler sebring had over 110k miles and was about to crap out. the car has a weird tranny. shift at 20mph at around 3k rpm. then has no power, really really slow... i bet the 1.8 is even worst...

remusrm

i saw it today and i have to say i like it. i had an echo and was fun. quite quick for a 1.5L. since the gas is rather hight in cali, around 2.85 average in cali i think will pick up sales fast. i still love my focus...

remusrm

and i just got it 10. Ford Focus

remusrm

i will stick around... no problem... i guess i just got a bad car... but was all nice while i had it

remusrm

I must say that I did enjoy my vibe, but the miles and after the lowering all went to hell... After I lower it the car was like caca. The back engine mount was bad before the lowering, only noticed it after, since the suspension was tighter, the front suspention was making noise and found out the st...

remusrm

well, the car handles better, but the body roll is this there, even with new tires. after having it for about 2 months the stock shocks started to give up, only at 32k. so lowering it is good, but add new aftermarket shocks, and an antiroll bar helps, to a point, but your really need independant sus...

remusrm

I notice some drop springs do lower the front more then the back, while the sportline is more in the back then the front? why is this? advantage?

remusrm

well, it might be that i might not enjoy the neon since they made a boo boo... they did try to finance me with chrysler but they might not accept me since of lower credit rating for the intrest given. so if it comes to that, i will take the vibe back , since i only got the pay another 4 yrs on it......

remusrm

after having the vibe for 10 months i did trade it in. i got tired to pay 466 for a car that is not really worth that much. i got a new 05 neon sxt manual. i love it. i prefer manual and is best choise and gas so far is good. if the vibe was stick i would of kept it, but also the warranty and tires ...

remusrm

I found out on Continentaltires.com that if your tires is OEM and is under 12 months or 2/32 of its tread wear should be replaced free. Mines has ~26k and they are worn out. Also the tires have 60k(mile) warranty. So going out at around 15-25k is out of the questions. Also, if you get BS based on ti...

remusrm

i got also 26k on mine and they are bad... mostly the middle of the tire wares out, and no i did not over inflated it either... was rotated every oil change too, 5k... so so far 5 times...

remusrm

I had mine changed at 9k since they were bad. The second pair lasted up to 26k. Now I get brembo rottors and axis ceramic pads. If you get more then 25-30k on them do not ever tell you actually drive fast or consider yourself wild, since you should be part of the over 60 club.
