Hi, In replacing my 1994 Toyota Starlet, which is the better car - the Focus Ghia which has done 65,000km or the Fiesta which has done 50,580km. Fiesta selling for $13,999 and the Focus at $11,999.
Am wondering about petrol consumption and handling ability. ??
Your view would be appreciated.

On age alone I would go for the Fiesta but the two vehicles are quite different. I think you need to decide which one fits your lifestyle better in terms of size and use.

Open road driving I would prefer the Focus. Fuel consumption wise both would be comparable with other similar size vehicles.
