So post some alternatives! The SVT Focus interior is *by far* the nicest I've seen in car in this price range. And I'm pretty sure that the Ricaro sport seats were pretty comfortable, at least that's what my butt and back told me.
Looks, well, that's personal. I happen to think the SVT Focus looks good. It looks like the RS and the rally car... at least to the same extent the Impreza looks like the rally car.
As far as handling... well, *all* the cars he's looking at are FWD. There are no $16k RWD or AWD cars. And this should be one of the best... LSD, traction control. And power... it's got the most power and the lighest weight of all the cars! How much power does your car make? Something tells me it's not 170hp.
So I'm "up on this car" because I think it's sporty, good looking, nice, and the most bang for your buck in this price class.
