I've never driven a Lancer, but I am familiar with their quality ratings as determined by JDPower ... and both initial quality and long term quality are way below industry average - not to mention that Mitsubishi is probably the one car company in Canada that is at credible risk of closing up shop ... there's something to be said about the devil you know, although I think in reading some of Daniel's posts the Focus is in fact on his list - it's a problem with availability of the model and specs he's looking for - specifically SES auto with SAP.

Which is why when I got to my original dealer that sold me the Focus and the used AWD Fusion had "just sold" I turned down any attempt to steer me into any one of the FWD Fusions they had on the lot.

If I wasn't so worried about driving a Mustang in the winter I'd have had my pick of several V6's in my price range <_<

I don't know, maybe I'm stupid, but if it was me, I'd be looking for another Focus, they're relatively inexpensive, you know what goes wrong with them, and they have some fun factor in them. :D :P

I'd agree with that, if I didn't drive a few Mitsubishi Lancers here at work, they are as good as a Focus believe it or not, and the set up of the interior is rather well thought out, not to mention they arn't that bad in the snow.
