Always heard good things about the Focus.
After some quick CL searches, it’s hard to find a Civic Si hatchback that has an A/T or hasn’t been horribly abused by some spiky-haired punk. How did I miss out on this business of selling coffee-can exhaust tips and faux-carbon-fiber? Those guys must be making a killing.
@emajor, I’ve always had that impression about the VW’s too.
I’m not too afraid of a well-maintained car with 100k+ on it, in fact I think I’d prefer it because I won’t mind it getting a little beat-up.
What do we think about the Scion TC? Didn’t see anything in my range on CL, which is weird because I thought Scion was supposed to be Toyota’s cheapskate little brother?
