kinda agree, but think that a focus in a way is a poor man's mondeo.
unless you had a physical constraint like a garage or drive that a mondeo wouldn't fit in, what reason, other than being cheaper (both to buy and run), would you have to want a focus over a mondeo?
when it comes to things like the boxster vs 911, looks and driving pleasure all come in to it more, and i can see that plenty would prefer the mid engined layout of the cheaper model.
