I bought the focus with the mindset that its such a bargain for P1.088M excluding discounts. We’re talking about base models here.

It ain’t a headache, but that’s the stigma though. The DCT affected people’s perception. But with a little research the car in reality is quite reliable, its one of the highest selling cars in the world according to some reports. Dito lang sa pinas takot ang mga tao sa American cars.
The Mazda3 2.0L model is no slouch for an NA car. It is almost as quick as the Focus Ecoboost. The Civic RS though is the standard in terms of performance among affordable compact FWD cars. However, the Focus offers the least price for the most power output.
