I've never had a singe problem with my Renault LeCar. The 3-lug wheels are nice too, I can rotate my tires 25% faster than if I had the stupid overkill 4-lug wheels.

ford focus is rated one of the 10 worst cars when it comes to its crash test ratings.

He drives a CRX and is looking for a reliable car.

I don't think crash test ratings are a concern of his.

I voted focus, only because I've known people with problematic neons.

On average it scored better for front impact than the neon did, and it was only slightly less safe for side impacts.

I guess safety is a good thing to consider, but being that he drove a CRX, I just don't see it as being entirely too important to him.
