I have had 2 SVTs, the one I owned back in 2012 was a solid car after doing some basic stuff and it had 170k miles and I ended up selling it for a 2014 Focus ST.

A well kept MK1 Focus will outlast you with minimal repairs, unless you have an SVT like me and then they are a pain in the ass, but worth it for a fun weekend cruiser.

1ST Gear:

That is way too much work to save a Mk4 from death. 

PREACH! I have purchased 2 Focus STs and a Fusion, brand new in the last 4 years, I have done my part for the cars, lol.

This is me but with no dog. I have a 2016 Fusion and I have used the backseats MAYBE 4 times in 2018.

These are awesome, always wanted an Azure car.

LOL at everyone thinking Lincoln is dead.

Focus ST for sure, you can even score a brand new 2018 St1 for 20k or less.

A couple years ago I owned a 2016 Fusion & a 2016 Focus ST and the ST had a flat bottom wheel, and it was always very noticeable when i got back into the Fusion that it wasnt as comfortable to use.

‘’Then he purchased another TC. Then another. Then nine more. Now his impressive collection of 13 is for sale.’’

I hope you enjoyed your time in Lexington!

1st Gear:

I absolutely love stories like this.

When I was 18 I had purchased my first manual transmission car, a 2002 Focus ZX3. I was trying to get in the habit of putting it in gear when I parked it, which I had done when I last parked it in the garage...

Man, I always remember running up to 90s-00s sports/muscle cars and checking the transmission to see what it had. When the 2013 ZL1 came out I was at a chevy dealer and saw one, ran up and it had an auto... I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

Every single light bulb should come as a LED. Incandescent bulbs look cheap and outdated.

Window tint is an important one for me, it makes the car so much more comfortable, escpecially in the summer months.

SVTF brother! :poundit:

I love this! Awesome job! I am picking up a 2002 SVT Focus tonight from the original owner to do a similar resto project.
