Ford debuts all-new Focus; Comes with all the toys you'll ever want

[Ysabel17]

No offense pare, but you might want to have your eyes checked. Seriously.

ang taray mo naman ser, yung nakita ko kase may bihis, alam ko naman malayo sya sa bmw pero kumpara sa ibang brand, mas mukang pang pormalan.

[Ysabel17]

Hahaha, sorry pare.. straight to the point talaga ako sa mga ganyan. Maganda naman talaga design ng Focus. Ayaw ko lang talaga yun kamahalan :nono:

[Ysabel17]

oks lang ser

bagay ba sa focus ang ganitong look?

naiisip ko kase pag sawa nako sa itsura nya, pwede rin bihisan.

[Ysabel17]

additional question na din, since ambiente is electric steering,trend being hydraulic, ibig sabihin mas ok ba ang ambiente kesa trend?

[kisshmet]

^that means you dont need to worry about power steering fluids, one less item for PMS

[Ysabel17]

thanks for the feedback kiss.. pabor lahat sa electric, so i have to downgrade to ambiente pala tooo much ang titanium for me.. ok nako sa trend, and steering na lang pinoproblema ko since hydraulic adds more weight, and consumes more fuel. sad naman. ambiente is too bare naman kasi.

[jhnkvn]

Some people simply buy base models then uses the amount "saved" to customize their car according to their liking. You might want to go that route ;)

Don't let the power steering system dictate which model you'll get. The difference in maintenance of the hydraulic vs electric is minimal.

Exactly. You can even counter-argue that the usage of the traditional hydraulic steering makes your drive more exciting as your driving feel is more responsive and linear according to pro-hydraulics

Thanks po sa tulong nyo. i learned a lot from this thread. my first choice noon ay ambiente, sabi ko base lang ako na bahala magcustomize, pero yung difference presyo nila di naman nagkakalayo with the added features, kaya naging trend na ang choice ko. then comes power steering difference. hehe. salamat sa mga comments at least malaking tulong para sakin na walang background sa sasakyan

Yup, summation ng likes versus the price. There are cases that 100k difference cannot buy some features for convenience & safety like EBD, stability control... Some can buy but with hazzles & inconveniences.


Goodluck Mam.

Hi Ysabel, forget the steering diffs. Pay attention to the transmission -- very baaaaad. don't buy it. or else you become one of the regretful owners. First car mo pa naman.

This is one of the reasons why I chose the lancer ex over the focus. Aside from the very small interior space, the transmission is buggy in stop n go traffic. Gusto ko pa naman sana ng hatch.

[Ysabel17]

aww. nagpareserve na ko ng trend kahit titanium same performance din ba? Di ba same din ng fiesta ang transmission nya, parang madami ako nakikita fiesta? or manual mga yun? kalungkot naman

[aargh]

Its d same 6sp dual clutch a/t. Its great pag arangkada but nalilito pag stop n go.

Unlike the old Fiesta, the Focus Powershift and New Fiesta Powershift have +/- manual shift function via a rocker button on the shifter.
Ford also updated/improved the software of the Powershift transmission in the newer models for smoother shifting compared to the early Fiesta Powershift models.

PS: Only the lower-end Fiestas like the Trend and base Style (now called Ambiente) have a manual option,the Fiesta Sport is Powershift-only.

[basti08]

Is the 6PS really that bad? As in un-livable to merit a 'not-buy' from some people here? Are we talking bout personal experience? Cause if not, this is a bit unfair for Ford, IMO.

[Ysabel17]

thanks sir ericc for saying that straight to the point. may iba pa po ba kayo marerecommend, na papantay sa focus? internal, external? ex is also one of my option before, kaso di ko lang nagustuhan dashboard, and i think medyo matagal na rin design nya.

ang hirap naman

[Ysabel17]

kakabasa ko lang ng reply nyo boss ag4. ibig sabihin po ba mas ok na ang transmission ng focus nowadays? nagbasa ako ulit sa net and ang dami reklamo sa transmission.but i suppose those were older versions?

im about to get mine next week, nagdadalawang isip ako gusto ko na magback out.

sa mga nakapag test drive po nito, or owners, ano po ba masasabi nyo.
