Its likely that he MAY have heard about the rust issue,amongst others, from other customers but it proabably just as aware about the issues with Civci as he is kettles and the like.

TC I doubt you peruse the forums for the Focus with as much misery as you do here but then again, we all know that the Focus is perfect and it doesnt have any problems don't we?
I detect some sarcasm

Scenario:

You buy a Focus the salesman fails to admit they sell them cheap to fleet/ military etc discount and you will be hit by massive depreciation.

You buy a Civic the salesman fails to admit the handbrake isn't fit for purpose and you/someone else/ something will be hit by said Civic.

I like my Civic but detatching all emotional factors and in terms of materials and execution of a product the Focus is leapyears ahead of the Civic.

Whilst this post is a bit of fun I think it's disgusting that Honda dealers have knowingly been selling used (and upto a point new) cars with specific requirements for applying the parking brake without advising people on hand over.
