I agree...one of the greatest car ever built....it is nowadays one of the most reliable cars that exist in any survey, the materials of the interiors are very good indeed, it is very well balanced, the engines are reliable as well.....

YES, damn serious! It's the chassis, the response, the driver-car integration. It's no supercar, but extremely competent.

Have you driven one?

I drove a Focus with the Manual Tranny every other day for Drivers Eductaion and it was a pretty good car the Clutch felt good and the shifts weren't truck like as you get with some other economy cars.

Yes I have. Drove my friends 1.6 Automatic and that car sucked bad. 2 year old car that has already started to rust and has various problems with electronics. Hardly one of the greatest cars ever built even if the chassis is nice.
