Absolutely. I rented an F20 last time I was in the UK. Tiny inside compared to my Mk7. It's pretty much the perfect representation of why BMW is now using fwd on smaller cars. That and our old E84 X1.

But dammit, why can't someone make an approximately 3k pound, 250-350hp rwd, four or five door with a manual? I don't care if it's stupid, so are Miatas, Corvettes, Boxsters, Wranglers and all sorts of other things. Give dads what they want.

How about a Focus RS when it's not at the end of its lifecycle with a horrible interior and a steady diet of head gaskets. A Civic Type R that isn't eye bleedingly ugly and as large as an F30? A Golf at that isn't pumped full of Dramamine? An STI that isn't 2003 all over again? Hell, get creative, let's do a BRZ sedan with the STI motor. An M2 five door. An RS3 hatch with an extra pedal.
