    Ford Fiesta is also kinda tight inside. Two big guys would be elbow to elbow if they would sit in front. But surprisingly rear legroom is kinda good for such a small car.

    One thing I noticed, the (dual clutch) A/T version of the Ford Fiesta is s..l..o..w to react and accelerate. The Mazda2 1.6 A/T is actually better in power and driver response.

    So if you are buying a Ford Fiesta, get the manual tranny version. Even the 1.4L M/T feels great & better to drive than the 1.6l A/T.

    The Cruze theoretically has the edge being a C-segment car vs the B-segment Fiesta, pero depende pano gagamitin ang kotse...

    Bigger driver and passengers, Cruze.

    Magkaiba naman kasi ng segment yan....subcompact vs. compact.

    Masikip compared to what? The Cruze has the biggest back seat in the class, and the front seat is competitive with everything but the Lancer, which is, hands down, the most spacious "compact" out there.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Do Focus TDCi experience this too with there powershift? Can it be adjusted by reprogramming the ECU? Thanks!

    Gear hunting does occur on parking lot speeds, I notice this myself...

    Pero kung sa normal roads ok sya especially if you rev it. Unfortunately for an economy driver like me, the Fiesta tranny likes to rev. Its hard to make it shift to 2000RPM laging 2500RPM or 3000RPM ang gusto nya! It takes some good gas pedal footwork to make it shift at 2000RPM...

    Nope. Really needs it.

    Not especially... and any lack is masked by the fact that the Focus TDCi makes power all the way from 2000 rpm to redline.

    Dunno about reflash, but they should work on one.

    It's not horrible... it's just programmed for smoothness rather than speed.

    Unfortunately... you're buying a subcompact with a 1.6... you expect speed.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
