The focus is not happening...reason being his sister has one and he does not deem them very exciting to drive. He borrowed hers for a month. It was a standard..fine car all around just not what hes looking for when it comes to fun.

I've had no problems from mine. They just must be maintained properly IMHO.

And as far as fun... I love mine in that regard.

Trouble with the RX series is finding a mechanic that knows what to do with a rotary. Many of the shops I've talked to don't trust anything that doesn't have pistons

and gg, I'm not saying to get the Focus, but unless his sister has the version Will is talking about, then we're talking about 2 different cars. The Focus RS looks like a focus, but it definitely does not behave like one.

Throwing the 1911 Porsche into the mix as of now....which version I do not know. Probably a 70's model.

The 911 Porsches can be very nice sports/gt cars, or an expensive maintenance nightmare. Do some homework and get to know what a properly well maintained 911 looks and sounds like; if you aren't real familiar with the car, maybe you can get a good Porsche mechanic to check it over, that would be a good idea.

Back in the '70's they also had the 912 which is a 4 cyl version of the 911; then the 911's came with the air-cooled flat six cyl in either T, E, or S versions with the T being the most sedate (but still fun) and the E a step up, and the S being the hot rod of the line.
