Have you ever driven a Focus and a Mazda 3 to compare the two? I own a Focus. The only reason I bought it was because I got a great deal with the incentives and employee pricing last summer. I got nearly 5 grand off the price of the car so I bought it or it woulda cost just as much as an equally equipped Mazda 3. I really wanted a Mazda 3 because the car is way better, but I chose the Focus because it was cheaper and because I drive about 30,000 miles a year so at the time I didn't see the point of paying 5 grand more for a car that would be worthless in 4 years. Anyway, the build quality, interior, and ride quality can't even compare to a Focus even though they are built of the same platform. I really wish I woulda paid more money for the Mazda..... Don't make the same stupid mistake I made.
Just so people know..... The Focus is made is Mexico. It's not made in America.
