Suppose if you're the sort of person who keeps a car for 10 years, it makes sense with the long warranty.

I'd rather spend half that on something ridiculous like an Alfa 166 3.0 v6 and the other half trying to keep it on the road!

Chevrolet Cruze

Out of all the suggestions,I'd go with this,cant go wrong with a Focus.

I went wrong with a Focus.

Although reliable, it was positively the cheapest, plastickiest, blandest, most noisy mess of a car I've owned so far.

Then to cap it all off, it hydraulicked in 4 inches of water.

Although that was a major PITA, I'm pleased it's dead in all honesty.

Couple of years longer than a Focus then :rotfl:

And in case anyone thinks I'm anti-Ford -- I'm not, my new car is a Mondeo.

I just realised rather quickly that I chose the wrong Ford. Small Fords are nasty, cheaply made plastic carp.
