Not too sure I'd go along with NickG's suggestion for two reasons.
1) I thought the Focus had about the same amount of road noise as the Civic. I had a lot of complaints from rear seat passengers that they couldn't hear conversation from the front passengers in my Mk1 Focus. Also, as a rear seat passenger in a Mk2 Focus, I can confirm there's a fair bit of road noise from the rear arches that did make conversation difficult.
2) Before I ever bought the car I wasn't happy with the nylon carpet stuff in the arches. I figured it would hold the damp and, being hard against the inside of the arch,3 would encourage rust.
And so it proved, as mine started to show rust bubbles around the rear wheel arches from about 6 years old.
Not a problem if you change your car before then, though.
