That's good that you are getting 7+ km/L per liter which is decent for an engine of that output. My friend who owns the hatchback model is only getting between 6-7 km/L on Sucat-MOA traffic.

Medyo mababa talaga road clearance ng Ford cars (Fiesta, Focus). Sayad yung chin minsan sa mga humps or inclined parking.

For 1.08M, you can get the base model hatchback or sedan and you can get one quick car despite being heavy for a compact. Actual 0-100 kmh as per most reviews is just above 8 seconds which is about the same as the Mazda3 2.0L and other midsize cars (Accord 2.4L, Mazda6 2.5L).
6-7km/L seems about right for heavy traffic.

True, may stigma na ngayon yung Focus na unreliable daw ang transmission.
Even old Focus owners thought that this is still DCT.
Dami din nagtatanong sa akin bakit Focus daw pinili ko eh madaming issues daw sa transmission. Sabi ko updated na, balik na sila sa reliable torque converter.

The sales rep said I was the first one who bought a Focus in our city. Around 6 months may dalawa na akong nakita. I’d like to think I was able to influence them when they saw me roaming around.
