The hassle would be the maintenance issues after a few years. There's a cover to protect you from the sun and you can have it tinted also.

Old Lynx 1.6.. crap economy, 1.3... great... 2.0... good for the power.

Ranger 2.2, great. 3.2, great on highway, merely okay in traffic.

Explorer, V6, not bad compared to other V6s. 2.0T... better.

Escape 2.0, horrible. Escape 2.3, acceptable.

Ford's reputation for guzzling really came from the Expedition (hell, waht do people expect, 2.5 tons and a V8!)... and was reinforced by issues with the Lynx AT and the first Escapes. Otherwise, their economy is not bad compared to competitors... and better, in the case of some models.

I'm disappointed there's no mention of a clutch that will survive the apocalypse...

I was able to test this in BGC and ang napansin ko nga is yung vibration ng engine... but comparing it to new gen fiesta, medyo same naman nga. I guess, normal lang talaga ito - ford cars-gas?, or this variant/platform?.

Question: if your company will let you choose your car and this is one of the options. will you still get the trend AT or will you get the titanium?

Conditions are:
Company will shoulder the cost of the car
Company will shoulder the maintenance/registration/insurance
Employee will shoulder gas
Employee Preference: A/T

Thanks dct & curiosus!
Mejo na paisip ako when i read some of the comments re: Trend kaya ko natanong.. hehehe...

*Curiosus - baka maudlot sir pagnabanggit yung company. hehehe.. ;)

**dreamworks3** · February 18th, 2014 07:31 AM

they have to address the strong vibration of the engine. for a brand new car, this condition is unacceptable.

**xcaliber** · February 18th, 2014 09:37 AM

Just curious....are the Ford dealers asking for DI again? If not, great! but if yes how much percentage wise? :drive1:

Titanium na boss! Sagot naman pala ng company maintenance and other possible issues like the powershift/TDC ba yun? Issues daw po yan ng fiesta powershift. Hope naayos na ng Ford.

Same tayo na company car plan, but I think yours is way better. Pati yung paudlot-udlot kung matutuloy or hindi. Hahaha..

Wanted the AT but I've read issues on the powershift. One wanted to sell his fiesta and buy a Hyundai Accent HB as replacement... Kaya I'm opting for the Trend MT instead.

Called a dealership, for now hindi pa daw sila na-mandate na kumuha ng reservation fee. Palista na muna. But most probably by March manghihingi na sila.

Based sa mga complaints and issues na nabasa ko online pinapareset nalang nila yung computer ng PS, 50:50 lang rin ang chance na magiging ok yung transmission after that, tapos minsan pag nawala na bumabalik lang ule, so rereset lang ule ganon.
