Thoughts? Positive or negative. Thanks all!!

Yes Vin. 5 or 6. Not positive but definitely manual.

6-speed. I used to sell them. IMO the car didn't live up to the SVT hype. It was basically a tweaked Focus with 17-inch tires, stiffer suspension, upgraded 170-hp/145 lb-ft four, better brakes and a few other SVT appearance mods. While its performance was much better than the standard Focus (0-60 in 7.5s, 1/4 mi in 16 sec), that was not a hard target to beat.

IMO -- save your money on this one. If you're looking for a surprisingly good performing Focus, I'd recommend a used 2012 Focus ST.

Thank you Z. Much appreciated!! I do like the ST, but it's a bit pricey for a Focus.

Any other opinions, thoughts on the Focus SVT? Anyone DD one or used to? Reliable? Fun?

I use to have a 2001 SE. Was thinking of an SVT version for a DD. Looking for opinions from those who have had them.
