I chose the cruze but I think they all look like pretty nice sporty little compacts. Way better than the ford escort, the chevy chevette or the yugo

The Mazda and the Elantra all look way to happy in the front end...

I'll go with the Cruze.

1. Jetta
2. Mazda3
3. Cruze

Thanks everyone for your posts/comments..
===============================
`Matt, I was surprised by the VW's 5 Banger...One of the Senior's has a VW Rabbitt with a 5 speed with the inline "5", and it's has torque & power from idle to Redline + he's getting 32 MPG's....It's just a base model, but I've driven it a few times & was surprised....For a small ride, it's powerful/stable & has really decent power...
I've never driven a Jetta, but it should have the same power.

I also like the 4Banger Mazda "3" with it's 2.5L standard transmission....It has some Zoom~>Zoom 2

I've never driven a Cruze, so I won't judge one until I do...

The Elantra has a lot to offer 4 the $'s and they put 2gether a great little package, and they state 40 MPG's & they are selling like hotcakes on a early Sunday Morning

Ford is suppose to be making a Focus Coupe, (they do overseas in the Rally Cars)....I would like 2 test drive one..

With the price of `gas, I think many people will be looking at these tested compacts to replace their SUV's & large rides.

EnJoy reading your comments...~>Thanks

Hi `Ted, and thanks for all your super contributions 2day...Did you have a energy drink

If so, what kind

Thanks for the pic of the RS Focus, but I don't know if they are bringing that model over to the USA...??
I hope they do, cause it would be a super Street Rally Package....My above pic is what I've seen by Ford for 2012, but I will keep checking and searching for updates...

Thanks everyone for your votes in the Poll & your posts...
Chevy Cruze is still in the lead.... @ the time & date of this post(GM Loyalty)
