for everything listed, its hard to beat the Ford Focus TDCi Sport.

its been on sale in different markets for a while now and there really hasnt been any major reliability issues especially for the diesels...

[tidus1203]

Personally Lancer EX GTA ako overall with the Ford a close second because of its frugal and torquey diesel. The Corolla is a distant third for me. Boring and old school automatic transmission but siguro ito yung Point A-B type of car. But di pa naman ako tatay so I choose the 2 sportier alternatives.

Is it safe to assume that 2 liter midsized cars are the new 1.6 of yesteryears? If so dito talga ang bakbakan sa bentahan ng mga auto makers..ooops Ot pero konektado pa naman kahit papano

overall, lancer ex gt-a

Engine - Focus TDCi > Civic > Lancer/Mazda/Subie/Corolla
tranny (automatic) - Focus TDCi > Mitsubishi Lancer EX GT-A > Civic (everything else is blech)
tranny (manual) - Civic > Lancer/Subaru > Focus TDCi
space - Civic > Lancer > Altis > Mazda3/Focus > Subaru
suspension (performance) - Focus TDCi / Subaru Impreza / Lancer > Civic > Mazda3 > Corolla
suspension (comfort) - Corolla > Focus / Impreza / Mazda3 > Lancer > Civic
looks - Lancer
ergonomics - They're all pretty good
pricing - They all cost the same, right? Want a bargain, though, Focus 2.0 Flexfuel.
fuel efficiency - Focus TDCi >>> Corolla > Civic > Mazda3 / Subie / Lancer
overall package - Lancer / Focus

Whats your pick? - Focus TDCi. Or, if I had to buy a gasser, either the Subaru (if I didn't care about rear legroom) 2.0R MT or the Lancer (if I did) EX GT MT.

[tsupermario]

i pick the lancer. coming in thisclose is the focus.

[oliver1013]

Btw, walang plano maglabas ang Nissan sa segment nato? They're missing a lot.

[actor21]

Focus TDCi ako consumes diesel like a 1.1 engine performs like a sports car.

All the 2.0s cost 1m or over. Except the Focus 2.0 gasoline hatchback.

Same range. Between P1.0M to P1.3M

Engine - Focus
tranny - Focus
space - Civic
suspension - Focus (sport) or Altis (comfort)
looks - Focus
ergonomics - Altis
pricing - Altis
fuel efficiency - Focus

overall package?
Focus is great due to TDCI power. But ride isn't very comfortable for passengers due to sporty handling. Also, replacement has been announced for 2010 .

Lancer EX GT is ok except for tiny boot space. Also, price went up to 1.375M recently.

MAzda 3 - Replacement has been announced already.

Subaru - Interior space impractical.

Civic - Great package except for its very hard and uncomfortable leather seats.

Altis - Not the best in all criteria but still the best package overall due to comfort/luxury features, good value, yet it costs less than everyone else except the Mazda.

Lancer EX GT. Three-pedal driver from day one. I like the directness of a manual. So I'd pass up for the CVT.

I would have voted for the Focus diesel, but I don't like the look of the headlamps of the current gen's. Overall, it looks like a sissy car compared to the EX in my opinion.
