Other manufacturers (some of them Ford owned) like Volvo, Audi, Mini, etc will provide what a lot of people really want (at least in Canada) - which is high-quality premium small hatchbacks.
If you want a decent budget small hatchback, go for the Mazda3, which is based on the same platform as the Euro Focus. I really like the Mazda3 Sport myself... but a Cooper S would be my first choice.
Although I like the Euro Focus, I would much rather have the new Euro Honda Civic Type-R. :-) Sigh... back to my old Focus...
