Help us car shop......

t-w need not apply (does he vanity-search?).

We liked the Focus. We're thinking the 2012 Fiesta looks fairly comparable -Focus seems to have "upsized" and beest test drove one a few weeks ago and didn't like it. We can get x-plan pricing on a new Ford.

We've decided we are ready to move to 4 door (and learned that maybe no-one does 2-door any more). We also need a hatchback. Other than that, small is good, cheap is even gooderer. Most little cars (except the Fiesta) seems to get crappy reviews. Is that because they're being driven by people who like big cars? We're not against the idea of a second hand car, but a quick search locally suggests we're going to have to work hard to find something appropriate at a decent price. second-hand prices are high and new prices are low......

If you are an "ecomomy car" driver, please give us a review of your car and your thoughts on the next car you might buy....


I have to say Wolf's comment about the ability to walk away from crashes over fuel economy have certainly stuck with me......
