November 15th, 2008 03:47 PM #1Hi everyone. I need your help in deciding which would be the better buy. I understand they are "cousins" as they are built on the Volvo S40 platform.
I've narrowed my choices down to these 2.
2008 Mazda 3 1.6V or 2.0 Sedan
SRP:864,000 / 1,039,000
or
2009 Ford Focus Ghia 2.0 A/T Sedan
SRP:989,000
Primary Use: Family car, shuttling to and from the office
No. of Passengers: 4-5
Criteria I have in mind in making the decision are the following:
1. Fuel Consumption
2. Handling and Driving Dynamics
3. Suspension/Ride Quality
4. Maintenance Cost
TIA

November 15th, 2008 05:38 PM #3I wouldn't worry much about maintenance cost for a brand new car. For regular maintenance you will only need to replace the air and oil filters at regular specified intervals.
It will be after 80K that you may have to replace more parts like timing belt, other belts which are generally available from auto supplies.
Of course it all depends on how you use your car and where you drive it through.

If you're picking amongst base versions, I'd get the Mazda just because it looks better... hmmm... even if its 2.0 sedan versus 2.0 sedan, I'd still go for the Mazda... more attractive looking... even if the Focus drives better.
If you can't ante up to the TDCi hatch, try for the 1.8 or 2.0 gasoline Focus hatch... it's a good car, and doesn't look as "old mooney" as the sedan version.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
