Comments
Favorite feature:	Power moonroof
Least favorite feature:	Lack of low-end power, mediocre gas mileage
Advice to buyer:	Carefully check for factory defects
Detailed review:	Sharp and precise handling. Stiff, responsive chassis. Good 5-speed transmission with well chosen ratios and decent feel in the stick. Engine revs nicely and produces adequate power, especially in the 4-5500 RPM range. Low end power is only fair. Car is reasonably comfortable -- even for large adults, is fully featured with lots of power options, has a great tilt and telescope leather wrapped wheel and a nice 6 cd changer aqnd sound system. After a few initial defects, car has been completely trouble-free.
Also considered:	2002 Volkswagen Golf
Vehicle purchased:	2002 Ford Focus
