The Ford Focus is completely redesigned for the 2012 model year, and reviewers love the updates. Not only are the Focus's exterior and interior changes impressive, but it's also more fun to drive than the previous generation. The Ford Focus was popular and well-liked when it debuted in 2000, but over time the competition improved, and the Focus lost its appeal.

Now, eleven years later, Ford has completely redesigned the Focus in hopes that it will regain its reputation as a top choice among affordable small cars. With well-rounded competitors like the Chevrolet Cruze, Mazda3 and Honda Fit, Ford has revamped the Focus from the inside out to take on the competition. The interior was one of the first things to change, now featuring more high tech options.

The Orlando's steering is well weighted but a little vague around the dead-ahead position and the brakes are only just acceptable, needing a firm shove to stop and with a non-linear pedal action that makes it difficult to slow smoothly. The cabin shows what progress Chevrolet has made in recent years in terms of quality and design, but the competition hasn't stood still, and there's a slight crudeness about the Orlando's plastic panels and pockmarked piano black trim.

The Orlando passes muster in the sector and it makes a sort of sense, but what looks like an unmissable bargain when you first hear the price isn't quite so cheap when you realise what it costs to spec up this MPV to a competitive level.

The Fiesta debuted in 2010, and this year, the Fiesta gets even more accolades: We named it the 2011 Best Subcompact Car for the Money.
