    DCT = Dual Clutch Transmission aka Ford "Powershift".

    The manuals are okay.

    Yes, the earlier fiesta a/t models have the DCT.

    My recommendation is to stay away unless you know what you're getting into [right now, mukhang hindi hehe]

    Yes po, hindi pa nga.

    Parang the best option ata is to get the sentra or accent. Hehehe. 😁

    The accent is okay if you don't plan to have the car serviced sa local hyundai service centers [good luck with them, they suck -overcharge for parts and do a crap job in general]. The sentra is just an underwhelming car.

    Is there a way to know if the ford is DCT or not?

    By the way, how about chevy cruze? I read my problem sa parts procurement yung chevy, is that still true today?

    Most 2008+ Ecosport, Fiesta, Focus "A/Ts" sold here are DCTs.
    The 2016+ Focus and Escape use normal automatics.

    The SUVs and Trucks are not. Explorer, Ranger, Everest, Expedition

    The Cruze you don't hear many problems about pero it may also be because the car didn't sell much. Dahil doon, hindi nagsstock ng piyesa mga banawe stores unless you really know where to look. Pati yung mga casa minsan may issue din daw with parts.

    for used vehicles, i'd probably stick to the big 4.
    toyota, mitsu, nissan, honda.
    they probably have more spare parts around, then the others.

    btw, at an article i read, the corolla big body engine and the sentra engine, ranked among the most durable engines...

    Avoid the Ford Fiesta ... the price is low for a reason since it's a money pit ... avoid Chevrolet also ... just stick with Japanese if buying used cars ...

    Would avoid expired registration ... if they can't pay for registration ... it's possible car is not maintained well ..

    unless i need something that the xtrail offers that the sentra does not,
    i'd get the sentra, if i were me.
    the xtrail does more gas per km.
