I've got a couple questions;
I just bought a PZEV Focus ZX3, It's quite a nice car, especially for the price, but I take issue with a few things that may be specific to the car I purchased or universal problems, which is what I'm trying to discern.
Has anyone noticed uneven acceleration in the lower gears? Specifically 1st.
Another thing would be that one of my friends owns an '03 Lancer OZ Rally, which isn't exactly well-known for it's suspension/chassis and it has a much firmer ride, while also being smoother. What the hell?
Also, road noise. Wow. It's a damned good thing the car looks so nice, or the noise in the cabin would drive me insane. (coming from the rear, obviously)
Last thing, clutch usage. And lots of it. Is it just me or do the rest of you with MT's
also have to spend more time with the clutch than you do with your friends and family? Sarcasm aside, it takes alot of precise clutchwork to get that Ford transmission to act civilized.
Anyway, this is not a rant, I'd definitely like to know anyone and everyone's opinion. If for no other reason than to put my mind at ease concerning the possibility that I got 'lemoned'.
Thanks.
