Hey 73, I contacted the District Manager. The auto repair representative contacted her and she contacted me. I strongly suggest that you talk to the dealer manager (or owner) by making an appointment and seeing him/her regarding your car. I think it is outrageous that you have not had your car in 2 months. Be professional and come with a list of points you want to make with the manager. I think you deserve much more than a lojack system. I think the dealer should provide you with a rental car for free,compensation of 1000 dollars and a deadline for your car to be repaired. If the deadline is not met...then you get a new equivalent ZX-3. Those would be my demands. Do not reveal your demands to the manager on the phone...just request to meet him for 15 minutes. You have been without your car for 2 months and taking the bus! Ford is really underserving you/ For me to get the extra 2 years warranty on my car is not all that awesome. I just want my car. But there is no end in sight. NorwayDoug |

Congrats to all you who bought real cars instead of imaginary ones waiting to be built south of the border. Still no sign of land... I'm all for a club. The yahoo interface is totally awkward (their club sight) and it would be nice to have another option. I nominate projectzx3 to be one of the club chairpersons. |

| my 3/6 ETA was changed to 3/27 and they claim that it is not built yet so I have no VIN to track. Do I believe that the car will be built and delivered in the next 3 weeks? No way, Jose. I'm getting so tired of the runaround but I've committed so much time to this wait already that I don't want to back out now. SIgh....... | |
| Anyone notice a change in mileage once the car was broken in? There was some talk that it was low, and so was mine. But now at over 3200 miles, it's up to 29.4 MPG in mix of city/highway. | |

does anyone out there have any information on when Ford is going to bring to market an all wheel drive version, and what engine/body combination it will have. I read in 'road and track' a while back that it is in the works - anyone got any hard information?? |
|
| Has anybody taken out the domelight? If you have, is that considered a wedge shaped light? I want to change the color to blue but not sure what it's specifications are. Most websites do not show a picture of it. | |

| Autoweek mentioned recently that a small SUV based on the Focus platform has been killed - thank goodness. We don't need more SUVs, thanks anyway. If that was going to be the platform for a 4wd Focus, it doesn't look too good. | |

I think the price of gas is making some reconsider a SUV. I know it has made me slow down and not do any jackrabbit starts anymore. |

scomo, Welcome to the club. Now maybe I'll see a ZX3 on the free section of the thruway more often. Not many on the road in Buffalo area. Thought that a couple of the dealers in Buffalo had 5 speeds, like Al Maroone on Transit. At least that what their web site said. West Herr only had auto's. Got mine in Olean and only checked West Herr when I was up there looking. What color, so if you hear a air horn, it's me. Bet you live near Lancaster? Pat |

I just got my car back from the Service center. As I stated in an earlier post, my suspension seemed to make noise and the left side of the car seemed uneven. Well they fixed it. It seems the rear spring got out of alignment. They repositioned them. Also, there was a recall on an injector pressure sensor. They fixed it while in shop. Most likely they may fix all of your injectors when you go in for service. I must say I had a good experience. |
