Default More advice needed, re replacement for a Mum's Taxi

Hi. I'm looking for a replacement for my wife's car which was recently written off.
I was thinking of a Ford Focus Model LW. not sure of the difference between the Mk1 and Mk2.
The terrifying thing is that reviews of owners all state that the gearbox is a pile of crap just waiting to fail. I see a lot of these cars around. Are they really that bad?

The owner reviews are driving me (pun intended) to consider a Mazda 3 hatchback.

Please offer suggestions. The Mazda does not seem to have good rear vision. Might need a reversing camera.
