| 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. |

| I keep hearing rumors regarding a highperformance all wheel drive version to debut in europe then possibly make the jump over here. Of course in my optimism, it'll be offered on the zx3 model. Its my understanding that AWD is somewhat different then traditional 4 wheel drive. | |

| Hatchqueen, assuming a vehicle has four wheels, 4wd and awd are the same thing. What differs is whether a particular vehicle has a transfer case and offers low and high range gearing (like a Jeep, for example), or if the vehicle has multiple differentials (or some other method for splitting the torque between front and rear) but no separate low range gearing. In both cases, all of the wheels are (or can be) driven, hence "awd". | |
