Its a low 15 high 14 second car. The 02 was slightly faster mainly because of the displacement difference(it was a 2.3 BTW) but it rode rougher and didn't get decent mileage for its size. That is why MB replaced it with the 1.8 that is in the car now. Also, about the SRT4 comments, sure, they actually gave it the power the pre-production car had, but that still doesn't change the fact that it is a poorly built econo/rental car...only now its on steroids. I'd take the SVT Focus over the SRT4 and people probably know how I feel about THAT car.
