Handling, celica vs focus

[bdzierzek]

Hi everyone,

My friend has just bought a new ford focus 2.0 zetec, or zx3 over in the US and I was very impressed by the handling and road holding, I was just wondering if anyone knows how the new celicas handling compares to that of the focus?

the focus does handle nice on the turns, i think the celica maybe just a tad better, but its close. but the celica kills the focus in braking distance tho.

actually, my roomate has a focus, and the thing handles like a dream...
I think it handles a tad better than the celica due to the shorter wheel base, but when you're coming out of a turn and floor it, it's like nothing happens... which is why the celi is more fun.

But yeah... the focus handles great!

the scary thing is.... it almost handles too great! bad ford! baaad!
