GTA vs. TDCi Focus, oo iwan yung Lancer.
GTA vs. FD, malamang halos sabay lang yan.

Wala naman po major quality issues ang GTA, pati na rin yung Focus so safe ka pa.

IMHO, depende sa SUV ang mukhang matanda. Usual SUVs would suit a binata-look well. Of course, iba pa rin though kapag naka-pormadong sedan.

Eto nalang sir, if you don't frequent areas which are usually flooded, mag-GTA ka na -- huwag na Impreza, sedan naman pala eh. Bago pa style ng GTA ngayon, parang may minor change. And balita ko mas umingay for a sportier feel.

Sayang, I would've recommended the Focus TDCi. Pero phased out na eh. Pinalitan ng 2.0L GDi which we are clueless about in terms of reliabilty, consumption and fun factor.

sure ba na phased out na tdci? that's just sad.

Maintenance cost of modern diesels kasi afaik medyo mahal. Sa oil pa lang you usually need about twice the amount you would in a gas engine. Other people can probably explain better, I'm just saying what I've heard/read so far.

seryoso ba yan sir? 1st 10k PMS of our Focus TDCi PS was less than 7k, tapos nito lang nagpa 15k PMS ako, hindi lumampas ng 8k. Ford Libis ang casa ko.

Yep, kasama oil it totals 7.6k

my 15k PMS was about 4160.40

Di naman phased out, sa new gen wala palang TDCi variant. GDi lang.

I saw a brand new Impreza sedan a while ago. Di naman pala pangit. Ok lang.. though not really sporty. Mukhang executive na, wala na yung boy-racer days niya before. Sayang. :sad:
