..That much power, you'd drive straight into a wall.. good thing is no one would see you then either b/c they'd have to pick you up with sponges and Ziplocs

Every person I knew that bought a Focus absolutely hated it after a few years.
It's a Ford....and it's a souped up and most expensive version of one of worst Fords at that. What may be a borderline, fairly low risk car at $18,000 is just irresponsible at $30,000.

Sooo , you're going to compare a the crap econo box car to this?? Granted it may look the same and have the same name, but it's a completely different animal after that

That's the point. Sports compacts like the Subaru WRX have balanced practicality and affordability of a normal car with performance of a compact sports sedan. Ford is expected list this Focus for a price that will dictate that it compete with purpose-built sports sedans and performance vehicles. The higher performance running gear and equipment will mean more costly repair bills for a car whose basis is, by design, disposable, cheap, and not particularly reliable.
Sports compacts on that level are going to have a tough time in a country where they'll share showroom space with relatively affordable Camaros and Mustangs that can actually turn a corner.
Maybe I'm just more practical and pragmatic when it comes to cars....but I'd go with a Mustang, Camaro, or step up to a Chevrolet SS or one of the many very good imported sports sedans.

I can get anything Ford makes or owns at the Ford Motor Company employee discount.
I drive a Honda.
What does that tell you?

If Honda made a quick, AWD, 5-door hatch, I'd be the first in line. I love Hondas. On a separate note, can I use your discount?

You responded to me so I'll reply what the heck does holding value matter to me when I've kept the car 11 years and put 142,000 miles on it? I still use it driving from Gonzales to Avondale every other day and back. When I get a new vehicle I'll keep this one and put it in Livonia so I can stop staying at the hotel there and just come back home when I get off the train.

That you're an idiot. Honda peaked back in the mid-90's in terms of quality and reliability.

You have got to be kidding. Honda and Toyota are well beyond every other manufacturer in terms of quality, reliability and resale.
