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.

you know you love your Focus cup holders //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I love the car. Good pick up, nice handling, rides as nice as my dad's cadillac. Plus, you gotta love the body-matched wheels and brand new sport tires.

Congrats on your new car...you should really enjoy it...I enjoy my Focus ST....
