I would agreed with you. I've been really surprised by those two focuses? foci? that we have. If my evo was paid off, I would buy one in a heart beat.

I was impressed by the new Exploder too. They're quite nice.

Really? I hated driving the one we rented. It stumbled over its self trying to start from a stop every time. It got good gas mileage and was reasonably comfy, but it also had bad blind spots (hatch). Might just be me, or the one I drove, but it was just annoying to drive.

I had a Focus rental a couple weeks ago and had the same thing. I assume it was due to the auto Start-Stop-- engine was "stopped" when at a standstill, then "started" when I got going again.

This one kept running when stopped, just stumbled when it got going again. May have just been that car, but I think I've read reviews with the same complaints. just my .02
