oh dear lord. Bad car shopping choices. Although I heard the original focus hatchback was actually fairly reliable, the sedan seemed like a clunker (when I rented a couple anyway).

Actually, another Neon, which got totaled again (3 cars now written off for those keeping score), but it wasn't his fault. He was hit by a drunk driver running a stop sign, luckily he didn't sustain any major injuries and walked with a fat settlement from the drunk's insurance.

He now drives an '02 Toyota Camry my dad gave him, presumably out of pity.

I like it! I have always like fords international focus so much more than the ugly one they sell in north America. I hope the bring the overseas body style here.

It's too bad that in terms of row-your-own, Ford's apparently only offering a 5-MT on the 2012 Focus SE. I guess this is about as close as they come to a base Mazda3 s Sport. (see attached).

I'll be curious to see some road/track reviews of the 2012 Focus 5-MT with 'Sports handling' package and 17" alloy options, I guess.

There are rumors that the RS is coming in a year or two. I'll wait

That hilarious man. I almost bought a POS neon for my first vehicle. Almost 100k miles, would of been a poor decision.
