Where do you live? Do you really want to cross the border to get a 2002 Ford Focus?

>>17184772
My neighbors got one that has like 60k miles shes selling. Its auto though. Im in bellevue

the one on Canada is actually closer to me than Everett. I live right on the border. and it's not just a regular focus, I'm looking for an svt. I am having trouble finding many of them
>>17184788
>auto though
I'm looking for my first manual.

Also, does anyone have a reason why I shouldn't get a Focus svt? I'm on a budget and want a fun semi speedy car

Tbh it's a pretty good choice, I think that a Civic might be slightly better, but this is a good alternative

what makes a civic better?
I feel like everyone has a civic. I want to have something a little different but really all I want is to stop driving my mom's old passat. it's really boring to drive. I used to have a 90s accord that was alright

Id say test drive a few cars and see what you like. If the focus is the one for you after checking around get it. There's a ton of car diversity here and you do not have to buy the first car you find
Test drive it for 30 minutes at least to see how it holds up on the fun meter

The problem is I'm not really great with a stick yet. The only person on my family with a stick is my brother and he won't teach me. plus his car is a lofted jeep on 33s, and he says since the wheels are too big the transmission stuff is off so it isn't good to learn on. I was planning on learning on the car I buy. My girlfriend drives a stick, I could ask her to teach me first. It probably is a good idea to do all that

Get an EP3 civic Si

Ford a shit

3000 not bad I suppose I payed 4,000 grand for mine 1 week ago but mine had 62,000 miles minor Surface rust on the suspension since car was originally from Illinois then Texas but all owners took very good care didn't try to expose it to the winters but regardless is still the north. interior is in great condition as well as mechanically. I was surprised I got two keys owners manual books and maintenance booklet. I'm happy with my purchase mines red too

What gen passat? If it was a b5/5.5 that's a fun to drive car and you're the problem.

It's a b6. O7 with all the auto bs. Even an electric Parking break. It's got a lot of power(200 HP) but when you drive it's like you're just sitting there.
