The indicator stalk takes about two days to get used to. That said, it took about two months before I didn't get the wipers sweeping occasionally when about to change lanes or turn a corner...

As for not winning an award because of the size of a turning circle, WTF??? The car that won the award is a half-a***d hybrid "sports" car that the Focus, amongst 90% of the cars on the road, will out-perform. I could understand something like the Kia Rio winning Drive's award, as its well-featured and good value for money, but the Honda CR-Z? Come on, Wheels!

Anyway, good luck with whatever you pick. I'm sure they're both decent cars with their good and bad points.
Cheers. Taking the Titanium for the weekend, this will be the car we get if all goes well. Optioned with the Sport wheels.
