I bought the MPS, lack of cruise was one issue, no left footrest was another, plus, whats the point of having a refined but much slower front driver, you cop enough crap for buying a arse dragger as it is, the MPS is a little beast, but if its too powerful, your'e looking in the wrong place....... add the sports pack, leather, xenon lights, polished 18's, and the focus is not really comparable, plus it weighs more, is not as focused in its suspension settings..... drive the Mazda like a nanna, its like any other 3, plant the foot, its unlike any other hot hatch worth twice the price!!!!!
