Yeah, I havent driven an FSVT, but when the tour was getting the trans rebuilt I rented a regular focus and was immediately impressed by how sharp and firm the steering was, and how rock-solid and well put together the car felt like overall. The structure was always quiet over potholes and bumps.
The CSVT feels kinda fragile by comparison, and big bumps or dips cause a loud "bang" from the suspension. Steering is quick but still kinda numb.
I love the duratec and the handling grip, but the feeling of cheapness annoys me
