Style - although a little bit old age appearance it makes other cars pay certain respect - less chances of being involved in accident. Nobody wants to race with you, but it has sufficient punch if needed. see full Jaguar S-Type review

At first, there was nothing desirable about the Focus. I had to search and search for its potential and finally started liking it. Then it broke down... twice. see full Ford Focus review

Early Focus models has some problems. The Focus seems to be marketed almost exclusily towards the younger crowd. see full Ford Focus review

This is a very good car. However, people look down on Ford. It will take Ford years to regain the image of decent, reliable transport - which is what the Focus excels at. see full Ford Focus review
