HELP! SUZUKI SWIFT vs. FORD FOCUS TREND A/T

[kiper]

If you can afford the Focus Trend..then get it!

The 1.8L engine has almost the same power of a conventional 2.0L engine and efficiency of a 1.6L engine (both Ford Duratec Engine). Di ka mabibitin dito sa baguio an the Focus hatch boasts larger cabin room than the Swift. People are going for swift (compact cars) basically because of the good pricing.. but FGP wants more sales..so they lowered the price of the Trend.

Try visiting www.fordclubph.com and ask for firsthand opinions and experiences of the owners. Lots of infos here:

[SIZE=3] thanks sir for the quick response... i really wanted a swift because i'm a big fan of mini's but then i saw the specs of the ford and it really caught my attention because it has better engine. And i'm thinking about the reliability of suzuki compared to ford...

both cars are great, and i would want to have them both... hehehehe.
but of course, the focus is bigger. but imho, the trend a/t (not the crdi one) is heavier so that of course, if you are to measure the power vs. weight, mas lamang ang swift.

Hmmm... tough choice.

But between the two... I'll get the Swift just for its looks. Yes - it maybe cramped compared to the bigger Focus but you're not buying a Swift for its practicality. :cool01:

The Ford Focus also is nice... but personally - I'll only consider the TDCi (diesel) variant. The Focus would have a better ride & have more room but aesthetically it lacks the appeal of the Swift.

in terms of FC/FE, i think the swift has a slight edge, because of my previous post. the weight of the focus is kinda heavier than the swift, which requires more power.

but since the engine of the swift is powerful enough with a lighter body mas ok ang FC/FE nya.

Swift for me this time, the Focus Trend is parang base line model ng Ford. Kung Focus na rin lang why not the TDCI version.
