My weapon of choice

[C.A.R.]

Focus's are horrid to drive, handle ok but seating position is weird!

The Mk1 had this problem, not so much the later models. The MK1 feels very 'high up' whereas the MK2 has a more wrap-around dashboard and a better steering reach which didn't make it feel like a van.

Don't know why we're all trying to steer him towards some dodgey Cat C Mondeo though, that's a very, very bad idea unless you know the extent of the damage / what was repaired in finite detail...
