The difference, IMO, is that in 15 years the civic will be pushing 250k and running like a top, while the focus will likely be in a junkyard. Of course if you're not planning on keeping it that long its not so important, but this is why you're going to take a hit (comparatively speaking) on the resale.
They're definitely getting better, don't get me wrong, but IMO American cars are still built in a semi-disposable fashion compared to their Japanese and even German counterparts.
