2006 Ford Focus or 2006 Honda Civic

despite the rattles and and unknown sounds, the 'amoy pawis' aircon, the hole in the fender, the slightly higher price, the matalbog ride...

i'd still go for the civic... its the top of its class, drive a civic, 3, focus, altis, exalta, and lancer in 60, 90, 120, 150kph... then you'll know the difference...

i doesnt mean na it is modern looking it is advance... sa engine pa lang may edge na civic... 2.0L civic 155hp, 1.6L 130hp... to think sohc lang ang 1.6 na civic... kung sa 2006 civic... yun top of the line nun by honda+mugen evo killer na eh... 300hp...

siguro bias kasi civic car ko... pero di ka magsisi... kahit magchange na ng body, feeling ko hindi pa rin maluluma yun civic... look at esi and the hatchback and even the Ef body... after three generations it is still hot... sometimes new is hot kasi parang fresh... parang yun mga bagong cars na wala dati sa pinas, medyo hot kasi 'fresh face' pa lang sila ngayon...

top of its class... but with rattles, amoy pawis aircon, hole in fender, matalbog ride... kinda contradicting ain't it?

I'm going for the focus. Ang ganda ng interior parang euro car.

IMHO......nung lumabas yung focus last year d2 sa shenzhen, nagbalak akong bumili, pero di ako gaano naimpress, lalo quality ng color nya sa mga dark-toned, pero silver-grey ok lang...interior...maganda n rin compared sa iba.....nagbalak na nga akong itrade yung current car ko kahit 4mos pa lang sya for focus....d2 kasi sa shenzhen dami na ring euro cars kaya kakasawa na rin kahit look-alike sya.

......until i saw the civic sa net....everything changed...and can't wait to see it.. though iba-iba yung versions na lumabas sa mg spy pics....it was still on the perfection stage. interiorwise....bow ako....pero don sa mga latest pics na lumabas seems ok n sya..mapa-sedan,hotchback or coupe. marami nga lang sigurong maninibago sa dating nya...but we need to move forward to new styles and designs. for me it is not more of a city-look alike car....mas hawig sya sa odessey-I....matalas at aerodynamics....just look at the grille at quality ng paint nya.
just can't wait to trade my current car.

just two things about the new civic design....either u really luv it or badly hate it...kanyakanyang taste lang kasi yan eh...some people are very traditional and still prefer those nicely, sweet-curves or even boxy cornered tsikots...while others, like me, like nice, sharp and sleek curves, futuristic lines...and the insertions of what others might say 'illproportioned' features....believe me...the designers intentionally do these to "break" the monotony and at the same time create "issues"...

The Civic's interior looks very sci-fi futuristic... (which may be odd to some)
The Focus' interior looks more luxurious like that of the Audi A4 and BMW 3-series.

Guess it depends which you prefer.

I'll have to disagree with the "top of its class" statement by pareng Pao... Reviews around the world ranks the Altis higher than the Civic with the exception of cabin room, fit/finish and tranny.

But if straight up Altis or Civic, I'll take the Civic, yung current fascia ah, yung unang labas sobrang bland.
