Ford !!! Make available a 6 speed manual option in both petrol and diesel focuses! Not all of us want a ''funny automatic''.

The 1.6 Focus would probably perform a lot better with a 6 speed manual ditto the 2 litre petrol/diesel models.

Current rides 5 speed manual 2006 petrol focus and 2008 6 speed manual diesel focus. The 2006 gets replaced next year with ?? but has to be a 6 speed manual.
I don't really care about having a manual diesel in the Focus, after they have decimated the car so that they could go downmarket (from a 1 series competitor to a Golf competitor). Just give us a manual Mondeo please Ford! It's pure lunacy that no P-plate legal manual Mondeos have been imported into Australia! Due to a high percentage of UK sales being in manual, it's not like there's a shortage of manual RHD Mondeos being produced.
