Used 2002 Ford Focus SVT Consumer Reviews
Great little car
This car is the best handling I've ever had and the acceleration has long legs. The idle has a problem which the dealer can't repeat. Apart from the horn failing and the cruise control quitting, (loose wire) The dealer has been superb. This car offers a rental car if it needs to be in the shop.
Don't bother
Crap quality, and crap reliability. I've been in the shop numerous times. Move on to a different car before you buy one of these lemons.

My red rocket
I love this car, it handles and drives like a true rally car. The seat heaters are awesome and great sound system - not too much bass but enough.
Ford Quality???????????????
I purchased a black SVT Focus about one year ago. The car is a blast to drive when the road gets twisty but lacks the kind of power that I crave. The chassis is very well balanced, the handling is nuetral and the car is very easy to rotate. I would prefer a little less body roll and better high speed stability as the car is a little twitchy in high speed sweepers (100mph +). My major complaint with the car is the quality. I had to get a new power steering pump, alternator, and now the intake runner control quit working. This in addition to several different noises and rattles that emminated from the exhaust.
Stay away!
This car put my through hell! First everything was fine, then back right window broke, it would shake uncontrollably, it would stop for no apparent reason, and overall money it was not worth it!
