Ford Focus Questions

[bink13]

Hello everyone...Im planning to buy a Ford Focus but have a few questions

1. Is the new 2009 Ford Focus (Hatchback) available here? / Is the Ford Focus on the price list of the local website of Ford the new Focus?
2. Does the model here have the new Sync program
3. What are the major difference between 2008 and 2009 Focus?
4. Which do you think is better to be driven to work? 2008 or 2009 model?


Thanks in advance for the replies...

Sorry for the double post but I couldn't find the edit option..

Additional question:

5. Is the Ford Sync Compatible with Creative Zen and Samsung SGH-G400?

Which Ford Focus hatch are you looking at?


Focus 1.8L A/T (gasoline)
Focus 2.0L A/T (gasoline)
Focus 2.0L TDCi M/T (diesel)
Focus 2.0L DSG A/T (diesel) *soon to be launched (double clutch automatic)


Price list: (next time simply use google.com to search for info on the web)

Changes from the Focus 2008 vs 2009 seems to be limited to external changes including the revised tail-light (which reminds me of a cheap motel room).

There's also a little crease in the hatch... and the cock-eyed headlight.

Changes include an upgrade of interior materials. Now the interior looks good and feels good. Suspension and chassis upgrades to make the car feel less heavy to drive (steering lighter, but still feels good).

Sync is not available on the global Focus. It's only available on the American-market Focus... to make up for the fact that they get a crappy, shoddily face-lifted, nearly ten-year old 1st generation Focus, instead of the much-improved, state-of-the-art generation 2.5 model we get in the Philippines.

Too bad about the sync...

This question is off topic:

Are there other audio systems like the Ford Sync to be used by other cars and Fords?

Does the model here have the new Sync program

At the moment Sync is only available in North America, but Ford plans to make this feature global.

Ford taking Sync global

Ford announced yesterday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas that it plans to expand its voice-activated Microsoft-developed Sync information service to Europe and beyond beginning next year. Sync, which was just upgraded to include traffic and news-speaking ability, will be available in ten European languages before it is spread to the Asia-Pacific region and Australia in the coming years.

Ford also announced that it is partnering with retailer Best Buy to build awareness of the system. Technical support for Sync will be available through Best Buy’s Geek Squad.

The automaker also made it clear that Sync will be opened up to third-party development. Ford offered examples of using Pandora Internet radio through car speakers or accessing Facebook messages via the Sync system.

Another Question:

How much is the maintenance of Ford cars in the casa?

ill just wait on the next focus, new motor, new drive train w/ paddle shift dual clutch

Of course this is just an artist's impression (based on the new Fiesta), so there is a big chance that it won't look like this.

The 2011MY Focus should go on sale in Europe sometime in late 2010, that means the ASEAN markets will probably get it sometime in 2011.

Hi people

since this is about questions.... my dad is considering the Focus because of the fuel prices. tanong ko lang kung meron na ba ditong nakabili na ng bagong dual clutch? if not.... kung may kilala bang meron.

Worried kasi ako kasi nung nakita ko sa MIAS na parang nasa engine compartment yung fusebox.... di kaya yan delikado since mainit sa pinas? di kaya matutunaw yung ibang components?

Thanks guys for you help.... in advance

Cool!

More or less, just as good or bad as everyone else (Honda, Toyota, whatever). Some parts are expensive, some are pretty cheap (not much more than they cost outside). Service itself is pretty good, compared to other brands, depending on the casa in question.

Thanks people for the replies!

Ask around at http://forum.fordclubph.com ...lots of north members there who can point you to shops that can work on the Focus. Sorry to hear about your plight... pero talagang mahirap ang flood damage sa modern vehicles ngayon.
