True... We test drove a Cruze. I didn't like it. seating is way too high, steering is the most artificial I've ever felt and acceleration was extremely slow. Interior fit and finish was nicer than the focus though.

I meant sonic by handling though... The sonic looks like it has potential for fun. The cruze is NO FUN.

Have you checked out a Mazda3? I drove one and thought it was nice. I haven't tested the others in this segment yet.

Yeah, Mazda 3's are extremely fun. BUT it has to be a MANUAL. There's no other way with the 3.

Not worried about that. Manual is the only option for me.

Yeah... Mazda 3 in manual is nowhere near as fast as a Z, but you'll feel like it is.
