Focus beats Cruze - Page 2

I read the article in the 'Sunday Times'. At the end of the day, they gave the Cruze 3-out-of-5 stars, while Focus got 4-out-of-5 stars.

In their opinion the Focus is the better car (but then we knew that all along).

I am seeing more and more new Focus on our roads (around Perth). The Cruze hatch seems to have been a failure, with only one spotted in the Swan Valley months ago - the Cruze sedan however seems to be everywhere - I see more Cruze sedans than I do VE Commodores.

In a disturbing Bogan twist I am even starting to see lowered and modified Cruze sedans

Perhaps the class is growing too much for hatches. They're now the size of mid sizers from a decade ago.

Doesn't seem to affect the i30. Massive sales last month, and it's easy to see why - the new i30 is a really, really good product.

I read an Cars Guide article on the Renault Clio coming next year and the article said "its as good as the Fiesta" and it has a 900cc turbo motor....it will be interesting to see how Renault price it !!!

Mmmm the CruZZZe is a kit from Korea

My kids make jigsaws from China ..... Does that make it Aust Made

It costs too much, doesn't have the same features etc etc...

Anyways, yes the Focus to me is a better car. I just thought it was a bit of a funny point because a lot of people bag out the Cruze

I've seen Chev badges on them as well. Now that's stretching the GM connection...
