Hmmm let's see... I think you really like the Focus.

Pros over Ranger
Easier to manoeuvre in the metro
Easier to park -- you have all those assistance and it's a small car
Interior looks more premium -- subjective, but it's really nice and has a european feel to it
More bells and whistles
Faster -- not really sure, but it should be

Cons over Ranger
More electronics -- these things are convenient at first but you don't want them to break
Might be more complicated and more expensive to run and maintain
Lower ground clearance
Smaller cargo space

Seems like the Ranger is not fit for you but if you were to ask me, it's the more practical choice. It's a utility vehicle that can take the abuse of our roads, a vehicle that you can virtually take anywhere.

One thing to consider also is the maintenance and running cost which in theory, the Ranger will be cheaper.

Warranty, I think it's 3 years or 100,000 kms. Maybe they also have and extended warranty option.

Just wanna ask, why do you want a stick shift car?

HTH
