Ford Focus (What's going on?)

**abdallah79** · 24-02-2008 04:36 PM

gentelmen-
this will be long so please be pacient.
i started thinking to change my car which is a new accent 1.6 112hp with another car that have an automatic shift and cruise controll. one of the strong competitors was the ford focus so i decided to do some research (research included this nice forum).

so, i went to the showroom in nacr city (wara game3 el salam) and saw some models and i liked the complete Ghia. which costs 150. and i decided to make some research as well and there are things that i liked and things i disliked.

i liked the shape, the comfort, the suspension (mayekhtelefsh 3alaih 2), and the price regarding the options provided.
what i disliked, (el ta3teem el kamel al motakamel men el tawkeel 3an ay ma3lomat 3an wogood shakl gdeed we esrarhom en el shakl dah men hayenzel masr khales we hadretak ettamen ya fandem hatefdal rakeb new shape forever ISA),
when i read the service provided by the fikry group they claimed that the sparkplugs should be replaced by 20000 km.
when i tried to make a test drive for the car they told me to wait, then wait up to 3 weeks then i went 3ala ghafla keda we 3amalt nafsy wahed gdeed we seme3t alazzz rad fe hayaty.

i thnik it dosen't matter if will be a new shape or not but the most important thing is: Focus 2008 in Egypt is a good car or not ?
really i want to know if any body had bought it or not and what's his opinion about it and El-Tawkil ??

i think you should looking for more populare car
you have many better choices at this range of money like

Mitsubishi Lancer EX
mazda 3 euro
honda civic
toyota corolla
renault megane
skoda octavia
volkswagen getta

fikry group will go on better at comming future but with very slowly steps

depnding on what you compare foucus with this list of cars
???!!!
for example:mazda3 shares the same platform with focus and had a bad agent sp it gonna be better than ford focus
skoda octavia and volkswagen getta are not the same price at all they are much expensive
megan: i dont think at all that megan is better
for lancer ,civic, and crolla yes thats a good alternatives and you may compare between them to take the best decesion
Best Regards

yes i agree with that.
i saw Focus and really it looks very nice and i prefer it more than Civic because it's higher than it so will not hear the sound of EL METABAT.
the engine and there's another thing is made in Germeny and the rest made in Spain, this shape for Euro not for USA.
spare parts comes with nice price, u can ask for the list and they will give it to u.
the sales person who i speak with him is Ashraf and he's so helpful and friendly.
Getta and Octavia are perfect but they are expinsive.
if i'm going to buy, i'll compare between Megane and Focus

gentlemen-

give me like 5 days, a freind of mine is buying a focus this week ISA and as usual i'll do the one hour test drive i do to my freinds cars, let me try it and will feed you back.

as i did some test drives for most of the cars in the range, like megane, A5, jetta, civic, mazda 3 and lancer sport 1.6. i think i can rank it for you in terms of driving pleasure mainly and other stuff.

we 3ala fekra el model el gdeed nazel nazel (europian not american) 3ashan el tawkeel ma3andoush Ghia aslan ba2alo 2 weeks we mesh 3aref gaya emta.
