    I bought my Lancer EX GLS in the 1st quarter of this year. I was given the P120T discount from the P1,050T SRP of the GLS so I only paid P930T for the car.
    *sir brutus - korek po si sir ghosthunter, tanong nyo po dapat kung may discount pa :D actually sir may masmababa pang offer dyan (less than 930k for GLS A/T). huge discount with freebies. nandito lang sa tabi tabi ang dealer *hint*hint* hehe

    Kindly read the car test article:

    http://www.bigbigcars.com/boards/def...g=posts&t=3631

    For a car with a six-speed transmission and a claimed 138 hp, the Cruze’s 0-100 km/h time of 14.9 seconds is pretty disappointing. Even the Cruze’s hefty curb weight and “green” engine (only 600 kms on the clock) can’t account for all of that... as the 1.8 liter Focus is three seconds faster. 60-100 km/h acceleration (which matters for overtaking) takes a leisurely 8.5 seconds. Or longer if you’re cruising in 5th or 6th gear and have to wait for the transmission to downshift. Manually shifting the transmission puts you in the correct gear much sooner, but you still have to put up with glacially slow shifts.
    Those guys did a full-on instrumented test using the same tools as other car mags. No denying that the Cruze 1.8 A/T is dead slow, even slower than a Corolla 1.6 A/T.

    Just like to ask your opinions about the Focus 1.8 Trend?

    My family kinda likes it because it is a big car and the price given to us after discounts was Php 829,000. No insurance included but the price difference from other cars is quite significant and that is why I'm asking here if there is something I should know about it.

    Thank you
    You might consider:

    Lancer EX GLX M/T = P855,000
    Lancer EX GLS CVT = P895,000

    Kung kailan decided na ako sa Cruze LS A/T ngayong NOV tsaka bumaba ang GLS nang ganito; I need to rethink.

    Hello sirs
    First of all, Thank you for taking time to read my thread and for all the inputs you have given me.

    So finally, after a long deliberation, we narrowed our choices to 4
    Honda City 1.5E
    Honda Jazz 1.5V
    Ford Focus Trend 1.8
    Lancer EX GLS

    We'd like to narrow it down further so I'd just like to ask which among the 4 would you not recommend outright.

    Some observations I've made after reading through a lot of pages is that in purely city driving, the Jazz seems to average a higher km/l than the rest, usually double digits. The City seems to border in the 9-12s, and the Lancer and Focus around 7-10. Is this correct?
    My family also has the idea that a 2.0L engine car(i.e. Lancer EX GLS) would be "sayang" for us since it would be just for city driving and our average speed is usually just 40-50kph, it would just use more fuel. Is this also correct?

    Thanks

    Mainly because its over our budget. Engine issues? and I find that the 3rd row seats are useless, I'd never fit in there so why pay more.

    Thanks for the suggestion nonetheless
