Don't get me wrong the SVT Focus is nothing amazing, it just is a pretty good overall package for the price. A friend of mine bought one back around Thanksgiving time, I've driven it once or twice. Nice, but kind of reminds me of an Audi. I say that because it feels like a VW that's had some more thought put into its tuning but can't overcome the fact that it's still a VW. Except it's a Ford. Complicated, I know.
