Is the Focus a shitbox? It's still a FWD 4-banger NA econobox but It's faster than the Civic and Corolla, and handles better.

It's a decent shitbox but still a shitbox

It's a new econobox. It's pointless. Get a certain econobox for 3k or get something actually good.

If you're going to get a Focus, make it a hatch. Sedans just look wrong.
The automatics are trash. If you want an auto, buy a Mazda3 and shut the fuck up
Total shitbox. Power steering is troublesome, dual clutch tranny is terrible. Class action suits over the tranny. Avoid newest model. Previous model is good but boring.

So get the manual?
Manual gearbox is decent on these.
I'd also take a look at the mazda 3 hatch for some competition, they're both good cars.

I want to buy a new basic model hatchback for my first new car
