I honestly believe the focus to have the best handling of any car in its class. My dad has the 1.8 zetec with the alloys and "sports" suspension pack and the thing handles like its on rails. Its seriously seriously underpowered but there is no roll for that type of car. Obviously there is a bit more roll in it than the 2 but for a family hatch i think its xxxx hot.

(aplogies for being off topic) Underpowered?! Mate, you dont know the meaning of the word till you've driven the 1.4. It is a superb car, really is. But its also quite a bit car with a 1.4 Duratec 80bhp engine. You floor it and not much happens apart from the needle creeps up on the rev counter... 0-60 in 14.1 secs - not much gets past me .
But it is beautifully balanced through corners. You can tell its had millions & millions of pounds and thousands of man hours developing it.
