Are you lifting right before you start to turn in? That'll do it, because lifting off the throttle abruptly will shift weight to the front, which will unweight the rear; and sometimes that little weight transfer is all it takes to break the back end out a bit. (Used to do this regularly in a Taurus that I had the pleasure of driving for a few months.)

Yeah, the first gen focus is pretty easy to induce lift-off oversteer in. The rear end weighs nothing and the suspension sits strangely high.
