It's clearly outdistanced across the board by the Focus because it's not meant to fight the Focus. I mean, I can go get a bottom-end Accent GS for like 12K. There's almost NOTHING in the car, literally. You have no problems with it because it's 1.6L of DOHC hamster fury. I'd put the SPI up against it any day of the week. My puny 14" tires will out-corner it, I'll out-brake it, and I'll out-pimp it, too.

ok I'm sitting again.
If you re-read my post you'll notice that I was comparing my dad's Elantra to the Focus not my GSi, the Accent is definetely in a different class from the Focus and I would never compare the two.
Here is a comparison between a Focus Spi and a Accent GSi and aside from one being a Focus and the other a Accent look at it objectively and tell me that your Focus is has technically better than the Accent has you're boasting, I also threw in an Elantra into the comparison just to make it interesting.
Focus SPI and Accent GSi comparison
I'll be honest and say that my Accent is a 2002 not a 2004 but technically it's identical and yes it does have a few rattles but nothing that can't be fixed with a bit of elbow grease.
