don't listen to intrade - he's just jealous of the awesome Estima :-) Falcon / Commodore! Since you don't want another van.

I actually love my Estima - but is too big for running around now the kids are older and don't want to cart their friends everywhere. Starting to cost me a fortune in fuel. Would prefer a medium car over a large one. Been looking at a Ford Focus but not sure if it will fit the dog.

You don't want a Euro yet you are looking at a Focus! Ahem, hate to burst your bubble but its a Ford Europe product, and a very good one too.

Not sure about the Avensis, I know everyone has a story to tell, but friends bought one brand new and the gearbox failed on it at about 35,000 and a headlight assembly melted (2.5K!). I believe they are made in Europe too.
