New car, XR6 V's XR5 Focus V's Ambiente Focus

[GTENVY]

Guys,

Just doing a bit of research at the moment. My partner and I are looking at replacing our 2003 Focus sedan and are looking at the following:

2010 Ford Focus XR5 Turbo
2010 Ford Falcon XR6 Sedan
2012 Ford Focus Ambiente

Looking at getting a manual, possibly an auto in the XR6 due to availability,
My parents just got a 2012 Focus Trend. Was extremely impressed with it. Heaps of features, felt great to drive with the exception of a bit of torque steer. Have driven an XR6 a couple of times as a rental, quite like them but I'm thinking they're a bit short on features compared to either of the focus'. Have not driven an XR5 yet but can imagine the torque steer has the potential to be substantially worse than a standard focus but everything I have read about these cars states they are an awesome drive.

The situation is there is a baby on the way and we want to ensure there is enough room for all the usual baby stuff, pram etc. We also have a territory but we want to be able to use either car.

I'd love to get another Falcon but I'm not yet convinced its the way to go, I know the focus boots are awesome but no sure about the hatch back.

Woud love some peoples thoughts before I go tramping around car yards.

Btw we are expecting to do between 25-30,000 kms a year so it will be used, alot.
