If its the Cruze gasoline versus the Focus diesel, then the Focus has more of a chance. Its definitely got more performance than the Cruze 1.8LS which is known for being slow. And I believe naman that just about any good engine will serve you well if you take good care of it be it gas or diesel, old tech or new tech.

October 9th, 2011 02:46 AM #2But Ford will release the new Focus right? Any huge difference with the 2011 Focus? And anyone knows when's it coming out?

Is the Cruze really that slow? As in slower than an average compact sedan? I'm not really looking much into power since I'll be using the car for home-office travel on weekdays (15-30 mins city driving) and maybe some highway travel for weekend trips.

October 9th, 2011 07:55 AM #3The Cruze diesel is so EXPENSIVE!!!
No wonder I haven't seen one on the roads yet...
For me wait for the new Focus and then re-compare... Pero duon na ako sa walang government sponsorship!

October 9th, 2011 10:37 AM #4There are still some taboos about diesels, but they're usually more reliable. Old-school diesels were the most dependable ever, but nowadays even these newer ones with the common-rail stuff are not bad and last longer than a comparable gasoline-powered.
