It would be a good DD, buddy had one and it was reliable and zippy. And it is a SVT.

Check the rotors and cv joint good as well as clutch engagement/ exhaust system for corrosion and deterioration.

They are pretty cool cars. The only reason why I ask, is I loved my VW. Some people don't like them, but I loved mine. A 2000-2003 TDI can be had for around the same price as that Focus and get double the gas mileage.

TDIs are beast. It takes some money to make them fast, much more compared to a 1.8T or 2.0T, but straight piped and blowing smoke from a car is fun as hell. My cousin had one, and he got up to 45-46 on the highway, 30s in the city.

Well that Focus wouldn't be a bad daily!

A friend of mine is a VW tech and has told me on numerous occasions to never buy a VW out of warranty.

I buy/sell cars for extra cash all the time. Let me know what you want in a car, what your budget is and I will help you find a car.

I put $2k in my 1.8T and it ran 13.9 on street tires and was one of the most comfortable and reliable cars I've ever owned. I remember very vividly getting my ass handed to me by a TDI and thinking to myself a 130HP Golf just beat me...lol...while getting 40+mpg.
