Well I Got Me A New Car - Canadian ST - 03-25-2008 Well I finally did it I got a new car. It wasn't the Fusion that I wanted but I came to the realization that I need to pay off my student loan so I went with another Focus. Its a 08 SES standard. I was amazed on how much better the car drives, the steering is sharper and the whole car feels more solid. I do miss the 2.3 that was in my ST, but the handling makes up for the loss of power. Other then that its a very comfortable car with a lot of standard features on the SES model Well I Got Me A New Car - euro_zx5 - 03-25-2008 Congrats! Well I Got Me A New Car - D-Dub - 03-25-2008 I drive a silver one............Sync, leather seats and the sun roof are nice options. Fun to drive and very good on gas. Well I Got Me A New Car - focusonthis_88 - 03-25-2008 Congrats...Dark tint and black rims would look sick!!! :D Well I Got Me A New Car - Canadian ST - 03-25-2008 I havent set up the sync yet but it sounds cool. I didnt bother with leather this time, I had the leather rip at the seems in my 05 and didnt want to deal with cold seats in the winter (even with heated seats) Mind you the leather looks pimp in the 08's. Yah gas is greatand I even got that tax credit with the standard.

I like the stock rims personally but if I can get a good deal on the EAP's I will pick up a set.

So I decided to pay off the student loan and get a cheaper car. I really did like the Fusion espeacially with the Street apperance package. Oh well in a few years no more loan or car payments. Well I Got Me A New Car - oldeguy - 03-25-2008 Congratulations on your new car. I think you're the first to admit buying a 2008 Focus :lol: All you've got to do now is start looking at parts to mod it out. I would think that that shouldn't be too hard for the engine mods. Well I Got Me A New Car - NOS2Go4Me - 03-25-2008 Engine and (some) suspension stuff should be fairly painless... at least the drivetrain will. Body mods? Not so much. You picked the car you wanted and that's what matters. Congrats Nathan! Well I Got Me A New Car - mustanggt_50 - 03-25-2008 Congrats on the new ride! Well I Got Me A New Car - ZX3_2NV - 03-25-2008 Congrats Your one of the 1st of many to be a part of Focus Canada and owning a 08+ Well I Got Me A New Car - naz - 03-26-2008 Canadian ST,Mar 25 2008, 10:54 AM Wrote:So I decided to pay off the student loan and get a cheaper car. awesome. big thumbs up to that approach! |
