Yeah it needs a diff, but then those diffs are expensive. They obviously decided they'd sell more at a cheaper price even tho it kinda sorta really actually sucks a bit without it.

In this thread the OP asks about the Fiesta ST tho - with it's 1.6, lighter weight and less torque, the lack of a diff is not such an issue - it's generally rated far more highly as a drivers car than the Focus.
