dun kami mga 1pm na.....

nakita ko lang ung ride ni gearspeed, ung red na EK hatch...at mga 4x4ph guys ulit....

nag-focus hatch(ung puti na may big "kulahan" sa likod), everest(great to, masasabi mo nang "rip-off" ang 3.0 d4d fortuner) mazda 6 din ang saya i-drive, lamest ang mazda 3-hatch(pambabae nga daw sabi ni esmi,e..)..

but sa mga cars, pansin ko mabagal mag-kick from N->D.....

ung everest 3.0diesel na 4wd at 5-speed AT! obivios talaga difference from stradas, fortuners and sorrento....wood panel din..the only thing lacks is ung manual mode...pero manually selectable ang 5 gears unlike sa honda accord and cr-vs, and 2.0 ES civic....making the new everest in my wish list also....next to my dream delica-spacegear 4m40 4wd MT.

nga,e im hoping ung more decent black focus hatch sana..compromised ang rear visibility dahil sa kulahan na yon!

the mazda 6 test unit natest drive ko na siya way before pa sa mazda quezon ave...the same one...nag-iba na ang takbo,e...unang drive ko mabilis mag-engage ang D pero kanina hindi.

bakit ang RR-sport at jaguar walang test drive units!

pati ung focus ST di pinagamit

Sorry I had to "abandon" you guys there... Ford Club and Tsikot alike, but I had a really tight schedule, and I had to pick up my wife from Laguna... grabe... mga 250 km ang na-log ko sa tsikot ngayon.

Nice to see the tsikoteers out in force, despite the weather... hope you enjoyed the eye-candy at the Ford Club booth...

Sayang din, hindi ko pa natapos ang test ko ng Everest 3.0... I have a strong urge to buy my mother a new vehicle, and I'm really set on getting her into a Santa Fe or an Everest... she loves the Santa Fe, but she's always had a hankering for "off-road" Jeeps, and the Everest is the best bang-for-buck American-styled "off-road" SUV on the market right now.

Next time nalang...

Hmmm... I noticed it was a little grunchy at the test drive at the start of 2006.

That's understandable if it was a media unit... most likely, some jackass (not me, I swear!) did a few too many drop-clutch (in an AT, just slot it into D while revving it) or torque-brake launches with it. Probably busted something inside.

It still steers very nicely, though.

RR Sport, Jaguar? Hahaha... siguro kung may maipapakita kang Black Centurion na American Express, papayag sila...

...pero bwisit na hindi sila nagpapatest ng Focus ST... it might help to convince Ford Philippines to sell it if it receives an overwhelmingly positive response from test drives.

May kilala kang congressman? Baka puwede tayo makisabit ng RR Sport test-drive... hehe.

escape din pala bago na din... engine at pangilalim the same parin ata, kaya di na ako nag-bother... everest is enough na...at since bago din, (di dahil naka-4Lo) n->d shifting is quick..not the 1-2 second kick n->d nga mga cars....

matindi talaga test unit ng ford group, kawawa ang bibili nun pag out of service na...un lang ang technical prob na nakita ko..

my wife likes the focus drives but not the rear seats space. the 3-hatch daw is lame daw, pambabae, the 6 is fast and has the coldest a/c unit amongst the cars.... basta ngumiti ako much more sa everest 3.0 than the new strada 2.5L...kasi mitsu phil ang tipid-->di man nilabas CRDI version ng 4m41(3.2L diesel)

buti pa BMW, they let me drive their black X5-3.0d exec
