New Daily Driver I just purchased....

todd03blown · 06-22-2006, 07:24 PM

I am now the proud owner of a 2003 SVT Focus w/ Euro appearance package. Below are some pictures. The car only has 26k miles and is immaculate condition. It has always been garage kept and has the following mods done to it:

H&R cup kit suspension.
Magnaflow cat back exhaust.
AEM cold air intake.
Mobil 1 oil only.
Redline synthetic tranny fluid.
Ecu update done.
Focus sport under drive pulley.
VF rear engine mount.
Ford M-sport. 8mm wires.
Screamin demon coil.
Steeda short throw shifter.
HID fog lamps.
Custom cargo matt with embroidered red SVT logo.
Stubby antenna.
Matching Aluminum Dead Pedal
Tinted windows.

Thoughts?

Awesome daily driver. Its a nice match to the Terminator. I drool over a competition orange one I see around columbia.

How is the gas use in that thing I thought about getting one too one day. But wasnt sure how well it saves gas.

The gas on these things are awesome!! around the city this will get 26-28 and on the HYW 32-35. This is the gas mileage the previous owner was getting. Gas mileage was the main reason why I wanted one until I saw it up close and was like WOW this an awesome little car. even has factory HID's!!

Now you can quit putting a bazillion miles on your car...

oh hell yea. My 03 cobra sits with 48,600 miles right now. Since I just got a value stated insurance policy for it I can only drive it 3000 miles a year so it wont be going out much except for shows, cruises and special events which is fine with me that way it will stay pristine!!!!!

haha...yea the picture distorts it somewhat. They have more room than my mustang does inside. Yea they have 180hp but this one a few little mods so its about 200 HP. The like to be rev as well, like any small displacement 4cyl.

*Lances03SVT* · 06-22-2006, 08:28 PM

I test drove one in 03 when I was looking at Stang's and it was alot of fun to drive for sure!!

Definitely a nice ride for a daily driver. I work at a saturn dealership and the Saturn Ion Redline's have the same Recaro seats that are in yours. Definitely nice and comfy seats!

Awesome dd. A buddy at my school has an svt, and i must say i do like them (as long as they are kept clean and not riced out) - his has some nice, clean wheels (kinda look like srt-4/GLI wheels) and i like it alot. and i must agree that you have a nice ford lineup there.
