    I like the new presentation style, and personally have had experience driving the focus, corolla and golf. The screen on the focus is awesome, the corolla is very quiet and comfortable but doesnt feel like your driving a car. The golf is still great to drive in auto(dsg) but its true the infotainment system is terrible. Would love to try a Octavia and Civic, think for the value the Octavia would be my winner.

    • @davidcurtis6186

      36.5k for the civic, although i do see that you have to go for the se-l trim with the octavia to get the 1.5 150dsg engine. Much prefer that engine to the 1.0 110, mpg is very similar to be honest.

    My dad had a focus for like 10 years and now my cousin has it. Its been running with no big issues for easy 15+ years now. My brother got a kia for 8+ years and it also had 0 issues. For that reasons alone I consider those two brands but I lean more towards Toyota.

    Some of these so called crossovers are hatchbacks if strictly looking at their dimensions. Ford Puma, Vauxhall Mokka, Kia Niro, Kia Stonic, Volvo EX30 & a couple more are all really just hatchbacks by looking at their dimensions

    Focus (outdated car) ahead of a sexy 308 and the boring to drive Corolla so high in your ranking? Ok to say the Honda is a great car but the engine offer is far too limited…surprised by this strange ranking.

    • @gelu8312
      @gelu8312 11 месяцев назад

      How many engine versions do you still need? The Civic's engine is powerful, has torque from low revs (thanks to the electric motor), is economical and practical, feels like an electric motor...it's there whenever you need it. Those from Honda managed to offer a "3 in 1". The fact that the offer is extremely limited does not diminish the excellent qualities of the car and the engine.
