Is my car save-able? 2002 ford focus?

My car went through a great deal of water that was up to the body of the car. I know water got through the exhaust pipe and the engine sucked up water. My car can still turn on but it stalls when stopped or idle. It sounds like a Diesel engine when ran. My dad took out the spark plugs and there was water in them. I took paper towel and q-tips with pliers and got a good amount of the water out but it's still not dry after 6 hours. When dry is it still worth repairing?

Your help just to pick a car please?

I'm a student looking to buy a used car around 10000$ that should be unusual, reliable, suits the daily life in 6 months hard winter and snow conditions also in hot summer for above 5-6 years at least, withe a normal maintenance costs and fuel consumption, which I found the next choices:

1- 2010 Volkswagen Polo sedan 70.000.
2- 2010 Hyundai Solaris 70.000 km.
3- 2010 Ford Focus 80.000 km.
4- 2010 Peugeot, 307 or 308 ~ 90.000 km.
5- 2010 Opel Corsa coupe 80.000 km.
6- 2007 Hyundai Tiburon 90.000 km.
7- 2007 Mazda Rx8 only 60.000 km.

Please note I don't like Honda, Nissan, Toyota nor even Kia at all!

$600 to replace a Ford Focus key? Is this for real?

I lost a key to my 2014 Ford Focus. I thought the spare was at my parent's house, but it's not there either. I called a locksmith and they said that I had to go through a Ford dealer to get a new key made… And the Ford dealer told me it's going to be upwards of $600 just to get a replacement. $200 for each key, and you apparently HAVE to buy at least 2… So that's $400 just for keys. Then it's another $100 for "labor" because they have to "reprogram my car". And then it's another $100 for them to tow my car to the dealer because they can't come to me and do it like any other locksmith would.

Is this for real? Why are they so expensive? I chose a Ford because they're generally pretty affordable cars, so this is making me incredibly disappointed with the company. We all know those keys cost less than $30 to make.

Added (1). *Note*

My car is NOT equipped with the "my key" feature or remote start or anything. I'm looking at just getting 2 of the standard "Integrated Keyhead Transmitters", just the key with the built-in unlock remote.

Should I get a 2012 Ford Focus Hatch ($12,200 25,000 miles) or a 2011 Jeep Patriot FWD ($13,500 48,000 miles)?

I know that one is a compact hatch, and the other is a small SUV but based on what I need it for what do you think I should get? Both have heated seats, heated mirrors, and all weather mats.

(test drove both cars, can't decide)

This is what I want in my car-
(1) good reliability, I'm planning on going 150,000 miles and up. Went 220,000 in my Honda civic only with regular maintenance.
(2) good gas mileage, I know the focus is better but if the reliability or interior of the patriot is better then I would get that.

I fish, have a german shepherd, ski, mountain bike, road bike, so i need a vehicle with a hatch.

Cheap & affordable way to make a 2011 ford focus base sound legally loud?

My dad owns a 2011 ford focus base, no fancy options of anything. He absolutley hates those guys with pretty loud cars. I have about a 50$ budget to turn his car into one of those as a prank. I'm not looking for answers where people say "drill hole in your exhaust", I'm looking for bolt on parts that will do the trick as I want to reverse it back to stock after he notices.
