Holy RED! lol.
The thing that drove me nuts the most about the Focus was the way the ignition key went in. It was at some stupidly awkward angle. Is that still the case? I haven't driven one in a few years.

The key hasn't bothered me but its the same in both our 2002 focus and this 2006. It is VERY red, but on a plus... I haven't gotten a ticket yet

I know, I like the Euro models better as well. But.. I cant afford to have one of them shipped to me, lol. Oh.... I don't like automatic transmissions. (Except for the SVX of course)

In response to Pavan... I didnt use anything special on the rims, just washed them normally. But to answer your question... to wash the car I just used a Wal-Mart brand car wash called SuperTech Wash & Wax Concentrate. The wax I used is called Meguiars Nxt Generation Tech Wax, it comes in an 18oz purple bottle with a green cap, and costs around $15. And to do the tires I used Armor All Detailers Advantage Protectant. Oh and just FYI... I read on here a long time ago that if you use chrome polish on your headlights/taillights it gets rid of any sun damage. And I have to say it works wonders. When I had my SVX the headlights were yellow, and the polish took quite a bit of that off.
By the way, sorry it took a while for me to reply, Ive been really busy with school. Im about to graduate so I had a ton of work to finish. -Dennis
