Just got in from test driving the Fiesta and the Focus and buying a festive tree -was supposed to also drive the Fit, but they sold it while we were en route.

So, it looked like the extra deals on the Foci were drawing us towards that because we could get either car for pretty much the same price. Having driven them, we're reasonably firmly in the Fiesta camp. Very smooth, very nippy and not noticeably less room than the Focus. Also, in the new focus, it may have the split rear seat the old one (and the Fiesta) didn't, but the car is rearranged in such a way that beest can't get the double seat folded completely with the driver's seat where he needs it, so that kind of nrgates that advantage. The focus was noticeably unresponsive and quite heavy to drive. the kids squabbled equally in both.
