Focus TDCi vs. All-New Mitsubishi Lancer GT

[niky]

Have you driven the current model non-turbo Impreza 2.0?

Not yet. I'm pretty sure it'll handle well, though... but I'm not holding out high hopes for its straightline speed.

I hope it proves me wrong when we finally get the tester. ;)

Hmmm.....til now wala paring media na naglalabas regarding the Lancer

I've already driven the new lancer in Bangkok. I've also driven the Focus TDCi of my gf.

Looks, safety package, av package goes to the lancer.
Speed, fuel efficiency, power-to-weight ratio, 6 m/t, price and fun factor goes to the Focus.

Got to test ride the new Lancer recently. I think it looks very sharp and has lots of nice features like (adaptive HID lights, rockford sound system, very smooth paddle shifters, and nice premium feel).

I think this will be a hit as its packaged quite well.

id go for the focus on this... diesel and the consumption of 20++ kms per liter (if its true). mamimis mo ang gas station... hehehe

FC of tdci focus is at 14km/li afaik. But its still very economical.

If I had the extra extra extra moolah, I'd get both!

The Focus can do 13.5 to 14 in traffic. To get it any lower takes hours of crawling at walking pace in Christmas-level traffic. Non-rush hour driving gets you 16 km/l, and eco-mode or looooong highway trips can get 20 km/l.

To get it down to 9 km/l, you have to idle for hours with the aircon on or drive it like a maniac. Racetrack driving that would get 5-6 km/l from a Honda SiR or a Ford Lynx RS will still get you 9 km/l in the Focus.

Driving the focus was really a blast for me. You can imagine being inside an STI in the first 3 seconds from launch..hehe.
