the SVT Focus looks to be a solid performer, if I were a girl I might look into buying one. But until that sex change operation, I have a list of cars that would kick the sh*t out of a focus in every category including performance and looks that I could get my hands on for around or under 20k.
Not that I have anything against the Focus, its just I'll forever be pissed that SVT bent over backwards to make sure the aftermarket's available for the Focus but treat the CSVT like the drunken uncle of the family that nobody talks about.
