i've rented both before and nothing about either one of them are good. both have crappy tires aswell, probably because they're rental cars. but i perfer driving the focus as to the cavilere because the interior is a tad nicer, and drives better.

Sitting in the Focus was like a mini-van seat compared to the Civic.
You sit higher in the Focus so for me it felt like I lost some handling confidence.

The Focus sedan did seemed like a faster car on the highway compared to my LX sedan.

I'd choose the focus, even though the interior makes me nauseous.
