    Insurance companies use more than age to determine the cost of a policy.

    Besides we are getting way off topic here, the op has clearly stated they don't want a large car or something with high insurance premiums. Maybe people should start helping them out rather than criticise everything they post?

    I didn't " critisise " anything, I was just making a statement.

    I have made positive contributions to the thread, have you?

    Doesnt make it the best.

    Check out any amount of reviews, and they'll always put the Focus ahead.

    Yes, because having a car thats 0.001% more reliable but dull in every other way, is better than having the best hatchback on the market.

    I take it you do actually know they havent made the corolla for nigh on three years now? That would kind of call into questions your knowledge of the market would it not?

    That old chestnut. ;)

    Check out "reviews" by independents who have no vested interest - Honest John for example.
