Mga Sir, hingi lang po sana ng advice. I'm planning to buy a new car in a month. Ford EcoSport or Ford Focus? And how about sa gas consumption po? Thanks po sa mga sasagot!

I chose EcoSport. Di ko na nga lang nahintay yung 2018. As per Dealer, they are also not sure yet when is this going to visit Pinas market. [emoji106]

Don't buy the dct version. Lots of well documented issues. You've been warned

If North America is not so happy with the new EcoSport with the 1.0L EcoBoost engine paired with a new 6-speed AT tranny, I bet they will go nuts with the current EcoSport that we have here.

I am planning to buy the Ecosport Titanium this coming August. Based on my research, it will come with a Powershift 6-Speed Automatic. Is this the same dreaded DCT I've been reading about?

Thank you sir! Any idea sa price range? But if i go to EcoSport, is it worth it at this time? Or may bago din sila this year? Salamat sir!

new ecosport is also coming but im not sure when it arrives this year. it has a more reliable transmission and new engine that is more frugal.

price range for the focus is similar to the civic. it is also made in germany..

Thanks sir! How about Fiesta? Is there any new Fiesta will come this year?

[Egan101]

Thank you sir! But if you would pick 1, which one would you take? EcoSport or Fiesta? For the Focus, I've seen some of the comments are negative and they said that's nobody is buying it,haha! The Fiesta that they are selling now, any issues except for DCT? Is it worth it for this time?

No Ecosport for me. I am happy with my Fiesta Ecoboost. The Focus is something I can consider but if I'm aiming for a bigger car, I may just spend a bit more to get something much quicker or more comfortable.

No one's buying it because of DCT only sir? Any other issues with Focus sir? Is it better to buy Fiesta than Focus right now or the same,haha! Thank you sir!

The previous model Focus had problems with its DCT tranny. Even with the new model with a traditional 6-speed AT, damage has been done to its name and thus nobody is buying.

A new Fiesta may be coming and it will have a new 6-speed AT tranny in place of its old DCT.

The only advantage the Ecosport has over the Focus is the ride height and maybe a bit of fuel efficiency. The Ecosport is practically a Fiesta with a raised suspension. I drive a Fiesta and I love how it handles on the road but the raised suspension of the Ecosport took away that natural grip offered by the Fiesta platform. Also, if you have the need for speed, the Ecosport is a bit slow off the line compared to the Fiesta, even much slower to the Focus Ecoboost.

However, if you just need a small vehicle with the extra ride height that you can happily use for your daily grind, I guess you'll be fine with an Ecosport.

180 horsepower and great handling for just 1.1M, yet no one's buying.

Because most people don't care about those things, and the Focus nameplate was ruined by the numerous DCT issues that plagued it. Even if it now has a 6AT, too late. Doesn't help that the Focus is more cramped than a City, and that the 1.5 turbo is a gas guzzler.

97% of Ford's sales come from the Everest, Ranger, and Ecosport.

The remaining 3 percent is split between the Fiesta, Focus, Explorer, and Mustang. The Focus is selling so poorly that even the Mustang that costs thrice as much outsells it.

With such low sales, the Focus might be the next Ford vehicle to be off their Philippine inventory after the Escape. If they offer some crazy discounts, it might be the best time to buy a Focus. They were offering 150k discount across the 4 Focus trims (Sport, Sport+, Titanium, Titanium+) last December.

Good bargain when they offer fire sales like that, but for the Focus, you just get hit with resale value later on.

It's not much of a problem if you plan to keep the car for long, but then another problem arises - parts availability.

So you really have to love the Focus so much to live with all of these problems with owning one (poor resale, poor parts availability). But then again the Civic, Mazda 3, and even the Jetta are all good driver's cars as well and they have better long-term ownership prospects than the Focus.

^^^ Good point, Jut. Parts may become a problem for orphaned models. A fire sale is a good deal when a new model is about to be released so there is guarantee that there will be parts supply. Maybe when the new Ecosport becomes available, Ford-PH might put a big discount on its inventory of Ecosport with DCT.
