Pero itong TDCI na ito, parang value for money din. If you can call a million peso car value for money :p

Pede rin ung tucson. Mas mura pa..

yeah, parang lumalabas na mas mahal pa ang city at jazz sa mz3 natin maski thru financing.

tucson okay na diesel entry level suv. sana meron below 1m hehehe

sorry for this lame questions: i'm planning on getting a brand new car this, my first ever..so i'm eyeing on several possibilities here and one is the ford focus.

i'm a girl so the only thing i know about car is driving, taking it to the car wash, tire changing, what to kapag nag-over heat

.obviously the basics..i've been reading this thread and there are certain things that doesn't ring a bell..like double-clutch..tapos kung lahat ba ng focus diesel or may mga editions lang..so maybe you guys can enlighten me...tnx

Only one Focus model has a diesel engine, the TDCi Sport.

This is the current 2009 Focus range.
Focus 1.8 Style sedan M/T (gasoline) P779K
Focus 1.8 Trend sedan M/T (gasoline) P799K
Focus 1.8 Trend hatchback A/T(gasoline) P859K
Focus 2.0 Ghia sedan A/T (gasoline) P999K
Focus 2.0 Sport hatchback A/T (gasoline) P999K
Focus 2.0 TDCi Sport Powershift (diesel) P1.189M

About the 6-speed Powershift dual-clutch transmission of the Focus TDCi, this is all you really need to know...
"the six-speed PowerShift gearbox combines the fuel efficiency of a manual transmission with easy operation of an automatic transmission."

"Compared to traditional automatic four-speed transmissions, PowerShift can help reduce fuel consumption by up to 9 percent depending on the application."

If you want to know how it works, continue reading...
"PowerShift provides the full comfort of an automatic with a more sophisticated driving dynamic, thanks to uninterrupted torque from the dual-clutch technology, which consists essentially of two manual transmissions working in parallel, each with its own independent clutch unit. One clutch carries the uneven gears – 1, 3 and 5 – while the other the even gears – 2, 4 and 6. Subsequent gear changes are coordinated between both clutches as they engage and disengage for a seamless delivery of torque to the wheels." - Ford

Thanks AG4... i drive the Focus 2.0 TDCi .. i really don't get the Powershift thing.. all I know is that this car is really fuel efficient... and handling is really good especially turning and changing lanes... my average fuel comsumption is 13 km/L i'd like it to be around 15-17 km/L.. if possible though... maybe chnge the way i step on the pedals...

... because i'm trying not to hit more than 2000rpm....

Meron din po akong question. May umiilaw na warning light dun sa dashboard ng 2008 Ford Focus 1.8 M/T. Yung light color red tapos gear na may exclamation point. For some reason di ko makita sa manual yung symbol na kasama nung sasakayan.
