Default focus vs lancer vs ...

I decided im buyin a brand new car. im goin to put about 5k down and pay the rest with payments. the cars i decided to get are focus hatch, sunfire, corolla, sentra...they're all about the same price. I thought i read somewhere or something that the focus is a really good car. I jsut need a reallyg ood car that can take the abuse of delieverin pizzas. And will last a really long time.

Lancer is a good realiable car, or you can buy the lancer Evo and deliver those pizzas in RALLY style

just get an old honda from the 80's or something. change the oil once and fill it up with gas and wait for it to take a shit. then sell it for four times what its worth on here and then buy a real car.

I'd say go with the Focus. Ford has come a long way in reliability since my 2000 model year. You can still get your hands on a Focus for about $13.5 nicely equipped.

If you can wait a bit longer, try to get your hands on the new 2.3l PZEV motor. This motor is far more advanced than the ZX3's standard 2.0l Zetec. With a higher flow air filter and exhaust, this car beat the SVT Focus in the quatermile. I think the sticker on the 2.3l ZX3 is a little higher than the standard ZX3, but it is well worth the money.
