Upscale Manual Focus!

I just tired of driving a car without a soul. So I took Car and Driver's advice and tried the Focus SE with 5 speed. Great daily driver but the lack of a manual transmission in the upscale models kills the deal. I'm coming out of years of BMW driving and Ford truck owning. Would love to go all American and find something fun with better MPG and the Focus looks like it.... if only it had an upscale model with a manual transmission. Make it fun, below 25k out the door, and make the interior so I don't miss my BMW....

Ron R I agree, the Focus is available in Europe with a 6spd manual across the entire line, as well as an Estate model(wagon). And, they will get an ST Estate!!

Christopher Kirk Don't hold your breath. Ford seems to have made a conscious decision to not offer any manuals. In the past, they were available, but only through special order, so of course, most people never bought them. Get used to buying what Ford wants to make, not what you want to buy.

Brad Krekelberg I love the interior, build quality, luxury feature content, and styling of my '12 Focus Titanium. I hate its automatic.
