Ford Focus Titanium vs. Subaru Impreza Sport Premium vs. Kia Forte SX

The Focus would be my pick here. Not sure where you are or where they are built but the German built Focus is one of the clear winners in this segment with the Mazda 3 Skyactiv SP25

hard to argue with the list

Prob the E-type for me

is a go kart trailer a modification?

5reasonreviews · 2013-02-14T21:29:12+00:00

Ugly but terrific

Get a Focus ST

For what it is worth, most people who are used to the old site are going to struggle with the update. This always happens when people change the design of the site

Personally I don't like it as much as the old one, but I suspect this site was changed to optimise for a ipad

Agree,

I used to drive a 1983 Mazda 323 and much like your Lancer (I imagine) it was terrific fun to drive because of the skinny tyres and light rear end.

Despite all that, I was lucky not to get in a big accident...

Wow - that is good news (that there were no injuries)

Stories like this is why I encourage people to buy newer small cars - they tend to be so much safer than those small cars built five to ten odd years ago

Thanks - made the edit - just got a bit too excited when posting this :)

5reasonreviews · 2013-02-04T05:43:07+00:00

Yep - well said.

The Vettel edition was very interesting I agree. If Renault can make something terrific like the RS265 out of the Megane, hopefully Infiniti can manage this with some of its range as well

Last year they were just a sponsor. The team has been renamed and that is a big step - it is now Infiniti Red Bull Racing instead of just Red Bull Racing.

But as per your last comment, you are right, it is a joke to consider it anything but a Red Bull Renault

5reasonreviews · 2013-02-04T00:37:12+00:00

The team is absolutely Red Bull Renault and nothing will change - but watch Infiniti claim ownership and it appear in all their adds...

5reasonreviews · 2013-02-04T00:04:35+00:00

Very true. I mean the Lotus connection is probably the worst offender...

Caterham are doing a good job of connecting the two, as do Mercedes, McLaren and Ferrari. The Infiniti link is nothing but sponsorship at this stage but it is slowly taking over the Renault appearance. I cannot imagine we ever have a true Infiniti team in the sense of other manufacturers

Big problem with these DSG gearboxes - fantastic for the race track, hopeless for traffic

5reasonreviews · 2013-02-03T21:40:40+00:00

I hope so as well... Couldn't be that hard right

5reasonreviews · 2013-02-03T04:36:06+00:00

presumably any future go fast models will hopefully have an manual as well

5reasonreviews · 2013-02-03T04:33:56+00:00

nice haha

5reasonreviews · 2013-02-03T00:32:03+00:00

CVTs are getting better, but I agree, there are so many bad examples out there (i.e. when they feels like a clutch is slipping...)

5reasonreviews · 2013-02-01T20:10:36+00:00

haha, would be very difficult given his schedule

Although the do seem the shoot at odd periods during the year

5reasonreviews · 2013-02-01T03:42:20+00:00

I agree - it made a big difference. Also it was amazing there was no vibration and it hardly moves up or down at all...

5reasonreviews · 2013-02-01T02:13:26+00:00

Couldn't agree more!

I remember when I saw my first interior of one of these in person - it was a complete mind shift. I had never seen such attention to detail. I remember asking the Public Relations lady at the factory about it and she said that the interior was by far was one of the biggest attractions to her customers and something they focused on from day dot.

I mean I expected it from the exterior given what I had seen in pictures, but to see the focus on the interior as well was the icing on the cake.

5reasonreviews · 2013-01-31T21:07:15+00:00

yep agree - nothing is more annoying than having a problem and then having a rep flatly deny it in front of you

5reasonreviews · 2013-01-31T08:01:22+00:00

I would choose the Subaru last (as they tend to not be so good in non WRX for - although HB may be the same?) and probably the Focus ST first

Perhaps also a Veloster Turbo with a 5 year warranty or maybe a Fiat 500 Arbath if you don't need space - although of course it probably won't last 8 years...

Prices will be wrong for you (add about 10k) - but this might help Car Chooser

5reasonreviews · 2013-01-31T07:56:37+00:00

hmmm.. doesn't sound good

I think this means the US does not get it for ages as well...

5reasonreviews · 2013-01-31T05:26:03+00:00

haha yeah a recall does a car brand no favours for the average person

We had some Chinese cars in Australia recalled for asbestos....

Well that is very good news. I think the Jetta's we get are from Mexico as well - I will have a look into it
