Honda Car Forum

Honda of course, Fords are only driven by skanky chavs.

Seems to be some misguided response here. The Ford is not the rusting hulk of rubbish that people seem to think it is. In the UK the reliability index actually puts the Focus as being more reliable than a VW Golf, by quite a margin no less.Totally different engine charachterisitcs, Focus' Volvo Sourced 2.5 Turbo is big and has a lazy power delivery, put packs mammoth midrange torque.Honda has very little torque, but has a spine tingling engine that redlines at 9250rpm.Obviously there's the issue of no back seats in a 2000, be it a problem or not.If you want to get from A to B quickly, the focus will be the smoother, more refined way to do it. If you want to get there with a manic grin on your face and experience what a sportscar drives like, then you need the honda.In terms of thrills, the Honda wins by a mile. If you're worried about reliability, don't be. Did you know Honda have NEVER had a VTEC system break? Also, the Jazz has become the first car in history to do a years production with NOT A SINGLE RECALL OR WARRANTY CLAIM!The Honda 2000 also has a reliability index second only to the MX-5, which is britains second most reliable car.EDIT: Forstrch doesn't know a lot about cars. Honda's 2 litre VTEC engine IS NOT UNRELIABLE! It does not suffer from any problems unless you don't service it for 50,000 miles and expect it to cope.

Fords suck. My vote would be Honda. They go and go and go. Can`t take that away from them.

i know alot about cars and the Honda s2000 is the worst of the cars as they tend to have bad enginre problems. the ford is know made by a american company and they are very succesfull in making and distrubuting cars so therefore i would go for the ford st.forestrchamps

Newsflash.... Ford Co. of America has had one of the worst fiscal years to date. Meanwhile, Honda Co. has continually toped the charts with the highest sales volumes year-after-year. After some research the UK Ford focus ST seems somewhat comparable with the late Ford Focus SVT of U.S origin. While the Focus has not been a "bad" car in the u.s it is just basic transportation with the SVT or ST sport variant adding a little thrill to your daily commute. However, the Honda S2000 is a full fledged sports car that is widely acclaimed and revered by many car review and testing agencies. In conclusion, both cars seem to be good choices however, if you want the true sports car experience I recommend the Honda S2000 by a long shot.

Your comparing an Honda S2K (a converitble sports car) to a Ford Focus (econobox)?! Anybody with braincells will tell you the Honda is a better investment. Besides the only "Focus" that comes close to an S2000 is the Focus FR2200 race car.
