Avoid the 2.3L and get the 2.0L engine, it's more fuel efficient. There are several options for transmissions and final drive gears.

The Ford Focus shares a lot in common with the Mazda3. Engine, transmission, and even the suspension. The Focus has taller gears and lower profile cam. The Mazda3 has VVT though.
