we're set on getting the 2008 honda jazz then we came upon the 1.8 a/t ford focus. now we're considering it.

given that it will be used mostly for going to office on weekdays (short 5 minute drive w/ no traffic) and going to the metro or farther on weekends (we live in the south), which of the two is a better option?

our priorities are:
1) fuel consumption
2) comfort and easy handling
3) reliability
4) style and uniqueness
