The All New 2013 Ford Focus

I received a courier today from LBC. It's a brochure for the all new 2013 Ford Focus. This new design has been launched here in the Philippines in the second half of 2012. In fact there was even test drive on the new model at The Fort Global City where you can test their auto parallel parking feature and you can get yourself video'd.

The Ford Focus brochure came with an offer on 1 year complementary scheduled service plan where Ford will take care of the servicing of the Focus for a year. Now that's a neat  offer and can save you about 10kPhp assuming their service cost for every 6 months is about 5kPhp. Following this, I wonder how they got my mailing address.

I like the new design of the Ford Focus and it is a huge lift from the previous one. It's about time there is a new fresh alternative to the macho Chevy Cruze', curvy Hyundai Elantra, confused Honda Civic and old age Toyota Corolla Altis. I browsed the internet for the reviews of this new model and it has gotten good reviews. Carbuyer.co.uk says " fantastic to drive, brilliant line of engines, plenty of gadgets", at least for the hatchback version.



Caranddriver.com ranked the all new Ford Focus sedan number one besting over the Mazda 3, Hyundai Elantra, Chevy Cruze and Volkswagen Jetta. Below is the summary of their pros, cons and verdicts.

The Ford Focus 1.6L Trend model I think will be a good choice considering its 1.6 liter enginer, 6 speed with power clutch plus all the gadgets. It can easily best its competition on fuel economy and features.
