Just bought a new car!!!

new cars are always fun. They are made by ford FYI:confused:.
either way i have always heard good things about them
That would have been my only reason to hesitate. But owner reviews on Edemunds are raving. I think the lowest overall rating was 8/10

 
Nice cars. They are built by Ford, I should know, as I drive the focus, which is the same platform of the 3. I do like the interior better in your car though, mine is so blah!
I do believe the 3's come stock with the 2.3L, so nice little engine.
Actually, the 3 is built on the same platform as the European focus. Quite different from the US focus.

 
It makes driving much more fun, but with traffic (common in cali) FTL:crap:
Most of my driving is on the interstate though, so the advantages would be limited. And with all the snowstorms I drove through this winter, it makes more sense to keep both hands on the wheel and not have to worry about throwing the clutch in to brake. For a daily driver, I just want something that is relazing to drive and has the features I need. I can wait till I can afford a weekend toy to worry about more engaged driving

 
I hate the 'night before' picking up a new ride, kind of like Christmas for grown ups even though we are stuck paying for the POS for the next X amount of years it's kind of exciting (in a non-gay way of course)

Strange as the Euro Focus looks nothing like the 3.

You need to hit up places like Focusfanatics forums and compare. They look nothing like the 3, more so the Focus hatch, but really they are there own breed over there.

I wish they had the Euro Focus over here.

completely different sheetmetal, but the 3 is built on Ford's Global C1 platform, which underpins the Euro Focus and the Volvo s40. The American Focus uses the C170 platform, which was replaced with the C1 platform in 2004 for the Euro focus, s40 and Mazda3
