Very nice interior , rich looking , but also kind of  small ( I am not a big guy and prefer compact cars ) . Almost no storage  , glove box etc and a very small trunk . Years ago when I was shopping for a car , out of the Neon SRT4 , Mazda Protege Speed , Acura RSX and Focus SVT ,that I have considered at that time , the Focus 5 door had the most useful interior and options . Not so reliable like the japanese , but useful , decent look ( design )  , performance and lower insurance rates .

i almost think srt-4 or RSX would have been a better choice........don't you remember those RSX's at the track? :ph34r:
type S's are killer

Well the srt-4 is an ugly piece of s*** , cheap looking inside , strong powertrain though , sedan , not as usefull as a hatch for me . Then comes the RSX -Type S that I love , but it's a 2 door coupe , next thing after Integra , with high insurance rates (1) . On top of that , higher price than Focus SVT with no discounts (2).I got my SVT at about 10000$ under the RSX Type S msrp . Also (1) + (2) = more than I could afford . Back then I had no idea that I was going to go to the track .
