Betting for the Focus here.
For top line models: Focus
Base models: I'd go with the Lancer EX 1.6 GLX

I already drive an Altis, but if given the choice to choose any TOTL compact right now, it would definitely have to be the Focus Sport+ Hatch.

Forgetting the after-sales support & price, I'd be taking home a Cruze any day. Next to it would be the EX then the Impreza.
Sayang. Would have picked the Impreza but the exterior styling doesn't appeal me anymore as compared to the previous Imprezas we had.

I can't post the 3, Lancer, Tiida, Impreza, SX4 and Auris hatch pics! Hmmmpf!!! :(

Chevrolet Cruze - malaki ..gusto ko dito diesel version nito
Ford Focus - wrc...yun diesel din
Civic - ok lang naabutan ng competition
Elantra - ganda ng design parang sportcar na
Forte
mazda3 - astig talaga yun new design nito patapangan ng itsura sa elantra
Lancer - pwede na Evo style
Sentra - cheap executive
Impreza - subaru yan e WRC din
SX4
Corolla Altis - ganda din ya lang dami sa daan
Re: 2012 Compacts: Which would you rather drive?
Without having seen them... I'd wager the new Focus hatch would be the more complete deal than the Impreza... What remains to be seen is if it drives better than the new Mazda3.
-
Cruze - probably the best cruiser
Altis - dated, but decent economy and comfort
Lancer - still ***y. Drives pretty good, lacks refinement
Mazda3 - Good looking and very sharp driving. Best handling at the moment (without having driven the Focus)
Elantra - best deal out there, even with Cruze for best space and ride, lacking the extra refinement of the Cruze, (current) Focus and Mazda3
Civic - tied with Cruze for best cruiser... better transmission than Cruze.

+1 for the boring and practical :2thumbsup:
Sticking with the choices I'll pick the Focus if it's the only car in the stable for the family. I'd get the Impreza for my own selfish needs :grin:

I second this. Driving the Altis back to back with the 3 shows how these two cars, despite having similar power figures, are worlds apart when it comes to driving experience.
Hopefully the Focus drives at least as well as the Mz3.
