[sandakot]

Sana nga po, jazz and corolla talaga first choices ko kaso i ended up choosing between Fiesta sports plus and the new focus. Naghanap din po ako ng mga remaining stocks ng previous generation ng focus, nakahanap naman po ako but was drooled by the toys the new one offers. Regarding sa invitation, im underage pa po e, so i guess hindi pa po ako pwde magregister?

Personally, i would recommend the Altis for reliability, durability, practicality and performance but if you are a student of the green and white school or the other school infront of Mc Do-Vito Cruz, the Altis is one boring car. The TOTL of the Ford Focus, in comparison is full of bells and whistles and might be suitable for your age. However, in the long run, Ford cars (or American brand cars, in general) are not known as keepers nor command a good resale price in case you decide to sell it after graduation (assuming you get another car as a grad gift). They also tend to look "dated" 2-3 years down the road. If I were you and your need is not immediate, I will wait and see if Honda Civic will actually change their model for 2013 ( there is a rumor of an emergency refresh). If you are decided on the Ford Focus, though, then go ahead and buy, I think the car will serve you well for your 3 yrs or so in college, just dispose before the warranty expires.

1. I don't consider Focus as an American car/brand since it was engineered and designed in Germany. I see a lot of 1st gen Focus on the road which means that they are almost 5years old but they're still up and running.
2. Looks are subjective. Mk2.5 looks as good as new (for me)
3. Dispose after the warranty? Wow. parang damit lang? pag nalaos bili agad ng bago? come on! wala ka bang kahit konting pagmamahal sa kocheng binili mo? hahaha. Focus yan, sigurado magugustuhan yan ni TS!

Daming bells and whistle ng focus, di lang ikaw maiimpress, it will also impress your friends. Buy kung ano talaga nagustuha mo para di ka magsisi. I don't think maintenance cost would be a problem for you. Kung pareho lang maintenance cost niya, or cheaper compared sa iba, then added benefit na siya. Kung medyo mas magastos naman maintenance niya then just think of it na it's just a little extra premium you're paying for the privillage of owning the car you really want. Plus sagot naman ni mama at papa maintenance so nothing to worry about. ;)

No regrets.

No regrets.

Only the Titanium+ and Sports+ variants have a lot of toys. The Ambiente and Trend variants are pretty bare for the price.

Convince ni TS na yung top of the line ng Focus ang bilhin sa kanya. Automatic break para iwas disgrasya just in case distracted siya sa loob ng kotse (kotse mismo magprepreno para hindi mabangga). Auto parallel park, iwas gasgas sa pagparada.

Inggit naman ako sa college car mo, congrats bro! Aftermarket mags na lang kulang jan! Hehe. Samantalang ako pagtuntong ko ng college pick-up ang binigay saken, anghirap iparallel park nung una pero nasanay din. Haha.

Thanks guys. without you i probably would have got the 118i which isnt my taste (no pun intended) instead of the hot focus.

i have one more problem, Color. i really want the white one but was thinking na baka madali mamula kasi yung everest namin 2007 model obvious yung pamumula when parked next to other white cars. one color din that i like is the whinning blue, dude it leaves me drooling. what do you think? any suggestions?

The shade of blue of the Focus isn't the same as the shade of blue of the Fiesta. Ang magkapareho ng pagka-blue, yung Everest at yung Focus. Simply put, the blue of the Focus looks cheap compared to the darker blue of the Fiesta. Mukhang toy car.

If I were to get a Focus, it'd be in red. If not, in white. If not, in black.

i thought of that too, blue doesn't look like you bought a car worth a million bucks. but i guess its self preference na, if that is what will make me satisfied then look no more.

Bakit daw ayaw? Baliktad ang parents natin. I wanted the focus / lancer ex before, pero ang binigay saken strada. Haha. Anyways, ok naman yang focus, yun nga lang baka kumuha ka ng top of the line ngayon tapos next year maglabas sila ng diesel version manghininayang ka.
