How can it be an SPI? Z in ZX3 is for the Zetec engine, the only SPI's i've EVER seen or heard of is Sedans and Wagons. Focinite did say something about canadian hatch's with SPi's but I think he was mistaken with the Wagon becuase out of any of the focus forums there is NO Hatches ZX3 or ZX5's that have an SPI in it.

Focus also offers outstanding performance. A 2.0-liter SOHC I-4 engine is standard on LX and SE, producing 110 horsepower and 125 lb.-ft. of torque. The 2.0-liter DOHC Zetec I-4 engine delivers 130 horsepower and 135 lb.-ft. of torque, and is standard on ZX3, ZX5, ZTS and Wagon, and optional on SE Sedan.

actually the z stands for the suspention as z tuned ...zts= z turing sedan... zx3 z by 3 doors.. zx5 z by 5doors.... ztw z turing wagon the reasone its standered on the z cars is that the z suspntion should have the peppy motor...makes sence dont it

Actually no, the only vehicles that had upgraded suspensions where the S = Street Edition, S2 (which I have) = Street Edition 2, which both only came out in 2000 and 2001, and the SVT. There was absolutely no difference in suspension between a SE SPI sedan and a ZTS sedan or even a ZX3/5, again the Z was for Zetec and X was for "times" or number of doors.

The first S edition, focus only came in Sedans, then in 01 they came out with the S2 which was in the ZX3 hatch.

This is Ford's so-called Zetec engine and it shows up as the standard plant for the "Z" models -- ZX3 and ZX5 hatchbacks, ZTS sedan and ZTW wagon. Also, the Zetec engine may be added optionally to a LX and SE sedan or SE wagon.
