Being a Cossie owner I thought you would know why

. Rust, although admitedly the Focus seems to be fairing better here than older Fords. I know my dad's XR3i when it was 10 years old had seen a welder just about everywhere underneath.
Saying that, I have seen the odd rusty Mk1 Focus now but that could have been from accident damage. It is fair point about the Mk2 and 3s however

. I do now and again consider getting a Mk1 FRS.
