> **Why It Makes The List:** You’ll notice that we’ve only included the '05-and-up Focus in this list. There’s a reason for that: When Ford’s most successful “world” car debuted in 1999, it was actually pretty good. Wait, no, strike that — it was _really_ good. A set of bumpers and some suspension tuning was all that separated the U.S. Focus from the rest-of-the-world model, and we were better off for it; the first generation of Ford’s iconic small car was fuel-friendly, a snappy handler, and a damn good imitation of a European hot hatch.  
> Naturally, things went downhill from there. Weight-adding features were piled on, steering feel and suspension went lame, and the once-edgy styling was given a Debbie Downer makeover. In 2007, rather than bring the killer second-gen European Focus here, Ford decided to reskin and plump out the first-gen car. Huge injustice; sad — and uncompetitive — car. (Naturally, because this is America, it continued to sell well.)
