I don't have current pics, but I can dig them up.

Ford Alabang has good service, they're conscientious, for the most part, and thorough. Just make sure it's very clear what you want done. As with other "casas", there are some good and some not-so-good service advisors, also.

The one real problem with Ford Alabang is scheduling. It's very difficult to schedule a wheel alignment because the waiting list is long. Also, cosmetic parts and SUV spares ordered from the factory take a long while to get there. But for common work (oil change, alternator, brake stuff, etcetera) done on small cars, they're pretty good, and prices are competitive with other "casas".

^The Focus are made in the Philippines (at least assembled from a CKD kit). Ford is also the only manufacturer here that exports the Focus (along with the Escape) to other ASEAN countries.

I was able to test drive both cars and would say that I love em both It would be really hard to make a decision but the smart choice is still the Civic. The only advantage the focus has is the sunroof which even the top of the line civic dont have. When it comes to the engine theyre miles apart in terms of performace and fuel efficiency. The focus is a gas guzzler plus the focus hatch doesnt offer a manual transmission. Ive used cvts and auto's but have u driven a 2.0 Civic Manual? Man its just fun to drive it. Plenty of power to boot!!! In the looks department Id say the Focus has the edge although with the amount of aftermarket parts for the Civic it can be prettier than the Focus.

kapatid, comparo ito between focus and civic. with 13 pages on this thread, you should be able to decide for yourself. take your time reading the comments kapatid. I know its a long read, but it will be worth it.

As per the Mazda3, the thread for Mazda3 along with a few of your choices, can be found on the link provided below.
