Which used Ford Focus has an engine key start?

I wish to buy a used Ford Focus. My budget is £23,000 and I'm looking for an automatic, petrol car that needs a key to start the engine. I feel the Vignale has too many unnecessary bells and whistles. What models do you suggest I should be looking at?

The mid-level Ford Focus trims and above use keyless entry and start so you'll be wanting a Zetec model for that. Alternatives include lower-spec versions of the previous-generation Volkswagen Golf and SEAT Leon, which don't over-burden you with gizmos.

Quality and refinement are impressive. Great to drive with sharp handling. Shares same base as contemporary Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf.
Cheaper to buy and better equipped than outgoing Focus. Improved ride quality. Larger cabin. 8-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
