Outcome of "the ugly commute" thread is...

...That I got a Focus.

Better seats than Cruze, more power. I don't like the pedal arrangement as much, but I don't have a reason to do anything more than row the gears getting on/off the freeway and sit upright for three to three and a half hours a day.

A little bigger than my son's 2000 focus, which I'm not thrilled about (I like small cars), but all in all, I'm quite pleased with the car. And bigger is probably better for the "long haul".

The bad news is, selling the e30. Buyers welcome!

Any recommendations for wheels on the new beast? I think the Drag DR19s would look pretty good. Sad isn't it? I'm already jonesing to get wheels/springs/exhaust on the car for the "cool factor".

good job on the new car... but this thread is worthless without pics

Focus....hatch? Color? The Focus ranges from lame to awesome so you need to tell us more.

I had a new Focus as a rental car, and it was a pretty fun car (for a rental automatic)! Enjoy!

Large and sticky, like she said...
