I often read posts about why we don't get the quality of the European Focus. Then I read on ffoc.co.uk about the many problems they are having with quality etc... Then I read my failed p/s hose and guess what..... It says made in U.K.!!! and wait, what's this on my O2 sensor box... made in Japan!!
Are we really getting that crappy of a car? I don't think so. Yes some have had troubles... I have not really had any! O2 sensor (made in Japan) and p/s hose (made in U.K.). I think alot of failures that we're seeing are self inflicted. Especially the clutch failures. Tell me that everyone hasn't read a post about getting off the line better by riding the clutch out at 5 grand... It is just an economy car. I'm not saying that the stuff shouldn't hold up better... Of course it should. Enthusiasts drive their cars harder than the average driver that Ford built them for.
Especially you guys who got your SVTF's for 13-15k..... Damn you.
Overall I am very satisfied with my $30,000 Focus economy car. I like them SVT or not.
I really need more boost...... Especially since I have my blower belt of waiting for my new made in the U.K. p/s hose to arrive
