What Focus is the best?

Hey guys,
My girlfriend is thinking of buying a Focus, she wants one with lots of power, but still good gas mileage. What year and model would you suggest?
Thanks.

Focus. Why focus? just because they say its the best doesn't mean it is. I'm not trying to be a prick, but make sure you test drive alot of different ones before you get one, because you might be surprised...

The best Focus is one that runs (unlike my FocalJet.com friend's :silly2: )

But hey, he did take 3rd place at the car show 2 weekends ago in Carlisle



If I had to go Ford, I'd get the SVT.
