Anything but a Japanese,..Ford.

Siena:
Ford Focus.

CityNG:


Oh please stop that. As if.

Homguy:
well, its my opinion,my view, my inclination . When I started driving , we used to have a ford explorer, a 190E, a kia optima(official vehicle),and a Nissan primera. Twas at that time I started wondering why the two Japanese felt so light and imprecise compared to the 190 and ford, they felt cheap and too light, like they were made of something inferior, they accelerated faster than the 190 and the ford alright, but they still felt flimsy all the same. Since then I have nurtured a bias against the japs,regardless of how fanciful they were cloaked. Now, this is no fault of mine. However, I must admit I havent driven any Japanese muscle car,or a very recent. Jap for that matter, but I have an inkling they are no better than there predecessors talking about providing immersive pure driving pleasure.

chucky234:
You drove the wrong Jap at the right time, the Civic will dust the Ford Focus in sales even in the US.

Homguy:
SALES you said? IMO, only maufacturers and nigerians(bandwagon syndrome) are almost always after sales. I don't care about sales as long as a vehicle I want ticks my boxes.

CityNG:


Sales is important for some reason.

1) It's a popular car and other motorists agrees with you.

2) Sales means that you'll have longevity in terms of support and parts. Come and ask those of us that bought 505s and then Peugeot put it's tail, Lion or not, between it's leg and ran back home and living us holding teh bag.

3) Your insurance rate will be lower because it's a common car.

So yes sales is a good indication of a good car, mostly.

Homguy:
Sales volume is seldom an indication of a good car. "Good" being defined based on our diverse expectations from our autos(the landrover freelander is a pinpoint example,sold well enough to be a tagged a very good tool). neither does the fact that Toyota sells more units than Bmw make it the better car;let's not forget the "keeping up with joes" . I still believe manufacturers should be more concerned with sales than the average buyer. Last bullet- thread was about the better car, most likely not in terms of sales, but our personalized expectations from both vehicles.

No. Honda Civic

Bro, you're here to post your choice of car from what is listed. Not attempt to sway me to see things from your side. Honda Civic is YOUR choice, Ford Focus is mine.

Let's leave it at that.

Sales is not always a good indication that a car is good. In my location, Jap mobiles sells fast here than German cars. That doesnt mean i will be swayed towards getting a Jap mobile.

I recently drove extensively my colleague's Honda Accord 2003 model, V6 and with an automatic transmission but you know what? The Accord runs very fast but I still prefer the handling of my Bimmer 520i '98 model with the manual transmission.

The rate at which a cars sells doesnt determine my choice of it...

abatically:


When will u people realize that u are comparing the wrong cars? BMW 5 series is an executive / mid size luxury car while the Honda accord is a mid size family sedan. The BMW is superior and the one u drove is probably the awd version. So what would u expect?

uboma:



If you had comprehended my earlier post very well, you wouldnt spilling out the above thrash. Read through my posts on this thread very slowly so you can get the gist. Take your beef elsewhere.

abatically:


Bro no be fight o, and I don't see anything that looks like beef in what I wrote. U were comparing a 2003 Honda accord with a 5 series BMW. 2 cars of completely different class. Try comparing the BMW with Toyota aristo (which is sold as Lexus GS in north America). Then we will have a fair comparison... Definitely not with the accord.

uboma:



since you have a problem with comprehension, lemme oblige you just this once.

A Nairalander above said 'sales volume of a vehicle should determine one's choice of vehicle'. I pointed out that in my location, Jap mobiles sells faster than German cars. 90% of the people around me goes for either a Honda or a Toyota brand. That was why i compared the Accord with my Bimmer just to butress that for me personally, i will prefer the handling of a vehicle in making my choice instead of the volume/rate of sales...

abatically:


Mr comprehension, if going by ur reasoning, then I can also come out and say I prefer the handling of an Audi A8 to that of Toyota corolla. Now does that sound like a fair comparison to u? Afterall the corolla sells more than the Audi.

uboma:


There wouldnt be any point responding to you after this...

abatically:


I guess I need ur lame response lwkmd
