Smile Website for Ford Focus

I was wondering if anybody knows of a quality website, ( hopefully somewhat like this site ), for the later models of the Ford Focus. No, I don't own one, but a good friend of mine does. He is a young 18 yrs. old, and while I know a decent amount about older, carbureted, RWD, 4WD, V-8 powered vehicles, most of his questions somewhat elude me, because I simply don't know much about these newer vehicles. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I certainly would pass the information on to him. Thanks.

focusfanatics.com is about as good as it gets, although there is a lot of BS.

Ya, what Chad said is about the only good one. It is not "family oriented" like this one. You could also ask your questions in this forum if you want.

Thanks for the replies. After I posted this question last night, I ran across focus fanatics.com and already told him about it at work today. His questions are mostly performance related ( how to get more power out of his 2.0 liter engine ), and I am just not sure what can be done, that wouldn't mess up the computer, driveability, or his warranty. He bought it brand new about 6 months ago. It's a pretty nice little car, and I'd hate to see him throw money away just to mess it up. Any ideas? Thanks again.

That is not only funny, but makes me want to buy a focus. ( just kidding ), but he really wants to know what is worth doing that is within reason, financially and warranty-wise. I am at a loss here. Please help!!!
