    Good cars for young drivers?

    Holden Holden Advice Holden Cruze Holden Cruze Advice Holden Cruze 2012 Ford Ford Advice Ford Focus Ford Focus Advice Ford Focus 2012 Honda Honda Advice Hyundai Hyundai Advice Kia Kia Advice Mazda Mazda Advice Toyota Toyota Advice

    I am looking at cars for my 18-year-old twins, the Ford Focus Trend or Holden Cruze Equipe, about 2012 models with 50,000km. I have read about transmission problems with the Cruze and dual-clutch issues with the Focus. It is very difficult to know what to do. Could you help with a decision, or suggest other cars?

    I couldn't recommend either one, both have issues with their transmissions as your homework suggests. I would urge you to look at similar models from brands such as Mazda, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai and Kia.
