not a bad all round car, I certainly would'nt be dissapointed to be driving one every day, I think the driver of the Focus is the one we should be aiming the slates at

remember not everyone buys a car for outright performance, but clearly if you buy a car like an ST170 or even a WRX (which I own) and go around thinking its the fastest thing on earth then you deserve to be beaten off the lights and laughed at by everyone

again just my 2p worth
