She likes the 3, but it doesnt come with the options she wants, Leather, heated seats, etc. And alot of reviews have said its a vast improvement over the previous gen focus. Im not buying, she is, to commute, fun is not involved in this purchase. Not to mention its cheaper than the comparable Honda or Toyota.
It's funny that you mention that she wants to buy it for all the gimmickry. The focus was refreshed but it's the same chassis. The "real" next gen focus won't come until 2010. All Ford has done is to put lipstick on a pig and it really seems to be working e.g. Microsoft's Sync for 300 bucks is a smoking deal.
