Looking at a 2012 Ford Focus and a 2011 Toyota Corolla-basic
models-automatic transmissions. Wonder what problems have been seen by those who own or have input on above vehicles? -- Mr.E |

I own a Toyota Avalon and a Toyota Solara, and both have been immaculate. Ford has, now, a good reputation. So does Toyota. If you are going to buy new, look for a good warranty. Drive both. Sometime you will hate one and cleave to the other. Good luck |

Hello, and I purchased new a 2011 Focus about the middle of Jan this year (the 2012 models were unavailable at that time) and am quite happy with it (although it still has < 2k miles on the odo). The 2011 model is basically the same as the 2010. The new 2012 Focus has been completely redesigned and its interior makes my 2011 interior seem downright spartan. For 2012 there are 4-dr sedan and hatchback models. One of the reasons I bought the Focus was that I had driven a 2010 rental model for a month and Consumer Reports gave it a recommended buy. Consumer Reports hasn't published a concise review on the 2012 Focus but says its interior is nicer and the vehicle is quieter than its predecessors. I don't know what deals can be had on 2012 Focus models. I purchased my SE model (with Sirius radio and Sync package) from a local Ford dealer for $16.8k (including taxes and $3k rebate from Ford) BTW, did I mention that I'm averaging just over 31 mpg tooling around the metro Wash DC area (I know I gloated about this in another post.)? -- J.
