I drove the SVT Focus at SZ and went for a 1.5hr ride on the road rally with lots of twisties. DO NOT pass judgement on something you have not driven or looked at. The car is going to do well in it's segment. Handles beautifully and the tranny feels great. Not the most powerful car but it seems faster then the other cars in it's segment. Interior materials are great as well. Awesome leg room in back as well. More then my 4-door Tour. I would ride in the back seats across country for sure.
