    I'm driving the focus 4 door hatch back (Station wagon)

    It's a decent car, especially if it keeps you from having a car payment. The only problem I've had with the car is some valve that the computer uses to open and close something in the engine screwed up but I think that could be due to some bad gas I was putting in it for a while. I've stuck to QT since then and the problem has not reappeared.

    I'm coming from a Saturn 2 dr. Coupe (wifes car in college and I inherited it. I hated that car but that's another thread) which for me at 6' was rediculously small.

    It has more room than many cars in that class. I carry my bike gear in the back and still have the back seat for extr4a stuff or people. I bought this car to beat up getting to bike trails and using as a base for long rides. It has served it's purpose well and I don't loose any sleep about scratches since it was so inexpensive.

    I may be the wrong one to ask though since I don't have a lifestyle that supports a nicer vehicle
