Mitsubishi Lancer EX GTA or 2013 Ford Focus Sport+ trim

[jut703]

Sirs buhayin ko lang tong thread na to.. i want to go for gta but looking at the top of the line focus sedan, actually parang maganda den pala siya? I'm just thinking now what if mabihisan pa, spoiler etc?

And wala pa bang reviews about sa performance, handling and FC ng focus?

Kung balak mong bihisan, mag-Lancer ka nalang. For me, the styling of the Focus is best kept as-is, or with minimal changes, such as larger OEM rims.

I don't find the styling of the Focus sedan to be anywhere as appealing as the hatch, but if that's your thing, then go for it. Looks will always remain subjective and at the end of the day, what looks good to me may not look good to you.

On exterior appearance alone, Focus Sport+ > Mazda 3 2.0R > Lancer EX GT-A > Impreza 2.0i > Altis 2.0V > Civic 2.0 EL > Focus Titanium+ > Sentra 200.

The 2L Focus (top of the line) comes almost complete, and is already fart apart on the engine technology which are being used by Bimmers/Merc (compare to lancer/altis),na next model pa nila gagamitin dahil sa mahal. It comes with a GDI (direct injection) technology with more hp compared to previous model.
No need na maglagay pa ng mga ricey stuff, handling is superb, the cabin is luxurious at it comes with alcantara leather.
Try to search for FCP and you will see alot of reviews about the car.
Well for me, I own myself an older model, but I just love it, even tested that stock machine on track..hehe..if you happen to drive a focus, baka masabi mo sana lahat ng sedan ganito ang handling.
Fuel consumption, for a 2L car, its comparable to its league.

While in a perfect world the GDI-equipped Duratec of the Focus is an immensely good thing, it might not bode so well with the quality of our local fuels.

The Lancer is a great car. But the Focus is just very different. It's one of the top selling cars in the UK on in Great Britain alone. So it may mean it's really good.

If Ford started putting paddle shifters in their cars...... the focus (and fiesta) would be winners. Hehehe. The GT-A has paddles right?

Yes sir! paddle ang GT-A. Sobrang pangit nga ng rocker button shifter ng focus eh. imagine shifting gears in a Focus Sport+ using your thumb?! LAME!!!

[sandakot]

Exactly. I tried using the thumb shifter in my explorer. It sucks big time.

M mode in our Focus TDCi is better. and feels more like a M/T car to me. plus the electronic delay ofcourse.

Clarify ko lang malayo difference ng engine ng focus compared sa GTA?

The Focus uses direct injection, the Lancer doesn't. That's the biggest difference between the two. Paper specs show a 15 HP gain with the same displacement, and theoretically it should be more fuel efficient too. But the latter has yet to be proven by local car review sites.
