Ford Focus Elite 1.8 vs Mazda 3 1.6

[littled]

Hi there
wondering if you brothers ( and sisters) have any opinions on these two cars?
BOth are similarly priced
and both are sedan version.

SO which to pick?

ah ha... Focus Elite 1.8 & Mazda 3 (facelift?). Both share the chasis. I would say 50-50, Mazda 3 is handsome looking, but Focus Elite not bad too...:shades_smile:

never heard before "ford focus elite"....
can u post some pics that we all can share here....

the official website does not have it yet
no pics at the moment
basically
its a ford focus 1.8 Ghia (sedan type) with some body kit like front lip, back lip, boot spoiler n side skirts
cost about 4k more than the 1.8 ford focus Ghia sedan

i think the ford has a more continental feel
but the mazda looks a bit plasticky... and the madza 3 is only 1.6L, not much HP in it...... but both of these cars have a terrible 2nd hand value as compared to a toyota or honda in the same class...

sigh
decisions decisions...

btw.. does anyone here own a ford focus 1.8 sedan? the new one which was launched like last year or something?
any feedback/comments on the car?

thanks
