No sure, pero focus is CBU from US, same with explorer, mustang and exped.

Matutuwa si minicarph since sosyal, di ba? Lol

The Elantra is not a bad car... maybe lacking in some sound insulation compared to more expensive cars in the class, but perfectly competent.

And perfectly forgettable.

The Sylphy has much more space than almost anything else out there, but it doesn't have much else going for it.

The Ford Focus is CRAMPED. But it is fantastic to drive. And that turbocharged 185 hp engine is good for some laughs. Better yet, the new six speed automatic is much less problematic than the old DCT.

I am one of the few who bought elantra last year, and I'm happy with it. I got the old GLS model because of a huge discount. I also like the long warranty and that I can bring my own orig parts in some of their casas.

I think the NVH of the new elantra has improved. I was wary of the rear suspension being torsion beam unlike Civic, Focus, Mazda3 but when I test drove it I liked the acceleration, ride and the sound insulation better than some of the cars I tried. Anyway I will not be cornering very fast. Watch Alex on Auto on youtube for comparison.

I have the Sylphy, I decided to buy it when I first saw it. It's the cheapest among the choices I had but its the biggest and has more features cost-wise. The 2nd row is heaven, I've only sat on the 2nd row after a year of being always the driver and I must say WOW it has the best position and space, I can say that it can be the poor man's chauffeur car.

City driving 11-12km/liter. After almost 4 years it still looks brand new and I can feel the exclusivity on the road and when it comes to maintenance, I dont need to wait for hours since Nissan casa in our area does not have much on their plate.
