Basically ford admits they built ---- in the past.

Re: Which car are more durable?
 

They both suck!

BUT

The focus has ignition cylinder issuses, I have towed many where the key just won't turn anymore and the springs like to break.

Neons are gay I hate them.

Buy an old rolla or camry

I have drilled many of those fuckers out, Changed lots of fuel pumps to.

1988 corolla or celica, and be done. spend $200 more and save yourself SEVERAL hundred if you plan on keeping it, previous owner care included. don't buy a car thats hacked up.

Re: Which car are more durable?
 

this is true, we had one coming in with some old lady, it was under warranty and I couldn't get it to lock up again until I turned the car off in drive, than put it in park. She locked up the cylinder in our loaner focus too. But we've had several come in with this issue where people were'nt doing odd things

Re: Which car are more durable?
 

I have never seen one for sale. If I ever do though it will be mine.

Re: Which car are more durable?
 

I'd have to pick a Focus. I don't really mind the looks of them too much. I've seen some low mileage Focus's with horrible engine noise and serious issues, but I've also seen the same in Neons. :-\ They are both ---- IMO, but the Focus gets my vote.

My boss bought a ~2000 Neon for his daughter brand new. It has around 75k miles on it now, religous oil changes and maintanence, and runs like a pile of piss. The wife has been driving it as a beater to save miles on her DD for the past couple of years so it hasn't seen any hard driving and still came up with issues long before 100k. :-\

An old manager of mine asked a coworker why he bought a "disposable car" when he got a neon. I've never owned either vehicle, but if I had to choose it would be the focus for a DD. I've seen many people have problems with their neons, none with focus issues. Why don't you just save some money and go buy a beater Honda instead? Will be slow but reliable, or able to be fixed easily and for cheap. Not to mention you'll save money on gas and insurance as well.

Maybe we should ask Guilleume from Blaastperformance, he likes Turbo Focus and Preludes, i think that is a positive vote for focus
