Which Ford Focus?

Currently have a 2005 Ford Focus, It's great for commuting, but I want to upgrade to a newer model. Looking at about £5000 spend. What year/model should I look at or are there any alternatives?

You could consider a KIA cee'd or Hyundai i30 1.6CRDI instead of another Focus. Avoild the Focus 1.6TDCI. For the reasons why see www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar
