06 focus hactchb - ? sports/harsh suspension apart from st?

[mikiesb]

Which ford focus models have "harsh"/sports suspension ride?

Like a sports/harsh ride like a civic type r etc - but need a focus for the mrs - so which models have "sports" type suspension.?

Thanks.

Zetec models are stiffer than normal, but they are not what you'd call uncomfortable. Quite the contrary, in fact I'd go as far to say that a Focus Zetec with the 2.0 Duratec engine has one of the best chassis’ of any car in it's class.

Hi Gary, thanks for this.

not driven a ford in ages and my mrs was an 04 fiesta 1.4 zetec driver which obviously is a different car to the focus.

She is now driving a passat 1.9 tdi sport 03 which i gave her, and now i want to get her something that has sport/harsher ride than normal, so looking at civic's, golf's and focus's - but don't want a "floaty" ride.

what is the nearest to a golf gt tdi in a focus if there is a such a car in the focus range?

Thanks
