OT : verna looks like a minimized sonata

BTT :

is it going to be a surprise ? why not surprise your wife with the decision that you're going to buy a car for her and you're going to let her choose her own car that's within the specified budget ?

para walang " sana ganito nalang ... " or " sana ganun nalang ... "

Well if the Ford you know is Expedition, E150 and all those North American Ford's then yes they are gas guzzlers. The Fiesta however is a European Ford. In the US EPA ratings, the Fiesta beats both the Fit and Yaris in highway mileage and beats the Fit in city mileage as well... The Yaris and Fiesta have similar city mileages... It might have a bigger engine, but it has better power-to-weight ratio and a lean 6 speed dual clutch...

Huwag ka na mag sedan, CUV ka na lang ..Pang downpayment mo na lang 800K then get a Tucson

lalo na that your starting a family, maliit & masikip yung fiesta ..

Maybe when he says P800K baka yun na yung total that he can afford, maybe his DP is even lower...

my wife and i shopped around for a car and among the choices you gave, she opted for the vios.

i have a jazz and she loves it better than the vios

she likes the amount of stuff she can place into the jazz.

Poll sana if we have enough women to get a trend...

u know what really appeals to women nowadays, it's the CUVs. try to ask them and they'll want bigger and higher.
they care less about electronics and ipod stuff/bluetooth sa car. sayang lang pera dun, mas okey pambili ng shoes, bags etc.

It's not the brand, it's the type of car that matters with fuel consumption

well, multi-ton cars with 5.4 liter V8s are definitely not going to have good FC figures, are they?

the petrol focus and the escape's FC figures are nominally at par with their counterparts, as well as the ranger and the everest's.

the diesel focus is another matter altogether... and it's a Ford.

Pretty sure that the 1.6 liter coupled with the 6 speed DCT is going to make a killing in the fuel efficiency department.
