I've owned both and the frs is leagues ahead, the Saff is old school cool and will probably appreciate faster, the older guys on the road will appreciate it and talk to you about it, women won't get it but you can't win with them as they will think the focus is a boy racer car. For a car you can jump in and drive it's the one, Saff at stage 3 is fast, but it's not hard to get the focus to 330 bhp too. My suggestion is drive a few as they vary massively, mines a good one, and has been 100% reliable for 7 years and 120k miles
