    i really like the Ecu from these fords too, its not like if you set the idle speed a little higher than normal, that the whole car starts to lose power! The Ecu adapts to the new setting, and still runs like a beast!
    Cars like Vw one little change in sensors values, and the whole car runs like a tractor!

      I also think it has less than 440 hp, however, keep in mind that this AWD Focus has more weight and drivetrain loss compared to a RWD 140i. An xDrive 140i does 100-200 km/h in around 11.5-12 seconds.

      I don't know how you expect a 350HP car with such a good chassis and AWD system to cost 35k and also have a good interior. There needs to be a compromise, and in this case the money went into the drivetrain. The Golf R from that generation is at the opposite spectrum where the interior is nice but everything is lackluster aside from engine tuneability.

      That being said, you didn't really give any reason to disprove the fact that you're wrong. There was no new hot hatch in the 35k bracket which offered similar fun and performance with a better interior at that time.
