[Y]ou think you want to buy a Toyota Corolla, but you haven't sized up the competition. The Ford Focus, Nissan Sentra, Honda Civic and Mazda3 are all in the same class and price range as the Corolla. Only Toyota offers stability control, daytime running lights, and MPG over 30 both city/highway. When looking further into crash test safety features, only the Toyota scores an excellent on both driver and passenger side. Toyota literally has advantages against all these so called competitors and that is one reason they are slowly taking market share in North America from the other manufacturers. The Civic continues to sell really well, but the Ford Focus lacks so many standard features that the others offer, you wonder what American car makers are thinking.
