this is just my personal honest opinion, i may be right but i may be wrong also.
1. Mirage heard several issues considering brand new, pero tolerable naman and some (very few) na major (i guess, according sa ibang nabasa ko) pero hataw sa features. The biggest question, will it perform similar to its siblings - budget so we do not know the long term effect of value engineering in the system parang nung bago yung vios gen1, sabi ni mamang taxi driver sirain daw yung pang ilalim kasi malambot daw.
2. Kia - i forgot the site where i read about the specs of engine, so parts are not that abundant since every now and then nagpapalit daw ng pyesa si kia. so pagnasiraan ka ng kia (i dunno what model, pero i guess rio and picanto is included) sa bahay ni kiram, wala ka mabibili pyesa sa sabah. hehehe. joke peace.
3. i do not know kung nasa option mo ang focus, my cousin has one 1.6L powershift. ok sya pati pang loob. ang di ko lang alam ano long term effect ng closing of production/assembly plant ng Ford Philippines. baka tumaas pyesa, lalong bumaba ang resale value etc. and etc. bakit naging factor ang resale value since pang car for keeps ang choice ko, eh boss, nagdadasal naman ako lagi sa kay God baka lang may dumating na magandang blessings at baka kailangan ibenta na din. heheheh.
anyway pa-OT, nakita ko post mo sa kabilang thread nagreply ba sayo TS re fiesta 2012?
