 I've had my ZX2 since April of 1998 and have put 60000 miles on it.  What a fun car to drive!  I got a 5 speed and it really performs when you keep it over 4000 RPMs.  You seem to love the ZX3, but my ZX2 is much more attractive than that ugly Focus and ,from what I hear at the local dealer, much more reliable. Good lookin',great mileage,reliable,inexpensive, and FUN!
