Personally, I would get a civic/sentra and drop a new motor in it because it would still be at least $5K cheaper than getting that slow svt focus.

BTW: My co-worker who owns the SVT focus learned to drive stick on this car........I had to educate him on so many manual tranny tricks like rev matching, redlining, double clutching and even downshifting.
