    Nakakatakot buying a Ford... what? A Ford gasoline SUV? A Ford diesel SUV? A Ford car?

    Ford's current line-up is not all built by the same company.

    Their Explorer and Expedition are built by Ford of America. They're much improved, but I wouldn't buy one... too much of a hassl.e

    The Ranger and Everest are built in Asia. They're Mazdas underneath. Much better value for the money.

    The Focus is engineered by Ford of Europe (in Germany). The engine is a Peugeot, and the chassis and suspension are shared with Mazda and Volvo. It is not related to any of the trucks in any way except that they are being sold by the same company.

    It's like saying "di nakakatakot bumili ng Toyota" if you buy an Avanza, because it's a Toyota... without knowing that it's actually a Daihatsu underneath...

    ------

    The Honda Civic is a great car... but the 1.8 is so good that the extra you pay for the 2.0 is wasted money, in my opinion. The 1.8 is almost as quick and so much more fuel efficient that it's the best buy in the Civic line-up. If you're going to buy the 2.0, get the manual, so you can enjoy the extra torque...

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Only the top-of-the-line 2.0 has paddle-shifters.

    It's one of the more responsive manumatic systems out there... it'll hold revs till the limiter, and it'll downshift aggressively (others wait till you're at a certain speed before allowing you to downshift). It's not as quick as a manual (IMHO, first gear is still too long), but it's an entertaining automatic.

    Unfortunately, this makes it a bit jerky if you're not used to it. But it's not bad.

    Yea i agree! bibili na sana ako ng civic 2.0 then i realized na over priced sya so mas ok bumili ng 1.8 but gusto ko ng sporty compact car kaya focus ang pinili ko for me, tama lang sya for single people, pero if my family na. I dont advice it, kc di sya ganong ka spacious compared to sedan cars. i guess if gusto mo tlaga ng sulit na car try mo ng mag civic 1.8s yan yung next sa top of the line. di ka magsisisi coz nanalo yang car of the year last year. Bumili ka muna ng car then kapag nakaipon na ulit saka ka nalang mag SUV
