Every car should come STANDARD with power windows, power locks, ABS, and rear discs. Oh and yea, what's up with no 2.3? I wish they would have at least put in the 2.0 Duratec VVTi (that makes ~144hp).

PS: I actually like the sedan look much more than the coupe (Honkeytonk Monkey is right, it looks too much like a previous gen Accent coupe).

EDIT: Uhh, the 05-07 models were called Mk 1.5, what about this? 1.6? lol

My Focus is without power locks or power windows. And I specifically ordered the car that way. The window and door lock systems of my car will never have an electrical fault.

ABS? Got it, didn't pay extra for it, hardly ever use it.

Rear discs? Good in emergency and high-performance situations, not that much better for everyday use, compared to drums.
