Speak for yourself, NM. I bought a compact Chevy in May and it was a better car in my opinion than the comparable Corolla or Civic. Cheaper too, and I got 2.9 percent financing. I traded in my 14-year-old Saturn on the new car. People speak very highly of the Ford Focus. American cars are by and large good solid cars.
Good for you on your Chevy purchase. I hope it works out well. Your resale value is low though, probably in the nickels (my car is low as well). American cars are second tier compared to Japanese cars, even the Koreans are competitive. American cars are just very poor on gas mileage. The technology seems to always be behind foreign cars.
Ford Focus? Sorry:
