There may be little support here, but thats due to the segement the car is sold into, the "mums shopping cart or older sisters Zippy runnabout a-b car."

In the UK or US they have their act into gear, they put in a decent attempt to try and remove the "shopping trolly" tag that plagues 99.95% of foci's. Most here are just simple cosmetic plastic cars.

My mate had a demo 5door 2L auto as a loan car as his car was being fixed, and to say the least i was extremely dissapointed. I couldn't believe what they were asking ($$) for a car which seriously would have had trouble pulling the skin off a rice pudding. We had it arround some hills and general city driving, and in some instances it bordered on dangerous with its lack of responce and power, it made merging and hills driving a painfull experence. This said, i suppose if you are lumped with one, any performace work is bound to help.
