ʻO ka Ford Focus a me Vauxhall Astra ʻelua o nā kaʻa kaulana loa ma UK, ʻo ia hoʻi he nui nā mea e koho ai. Nui nā kaʻa ʻelua a kokoke i kekahi i nā ʻano āpau, no laila pehea ʻoe e ʻike ai i ka mea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi? Eia kā mākou alakaʻi i ka Focus a me Astra, e nānā i ke ʻano o ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana o kēlā me kēia kaʻa i nā wahi nui.

Kalaiaina a me ka ʻenehana

ʻIke maikaʻi ka Focus a me Astra ma waho, akā pehea ko lākou ʻano i loko a pehea ka maʻalahi o ka hoʻohana ʻana? ʻO ka nūhou maikaʻi, e ʻoluʻolu ʻoe i ka home a me ka ʻoluʻolu i kēlā me kēia kaʻa, a ua lako lākou e hoʻokipa iā ʻoe i nā huakaʻi lōʻihi. 

He kūlana maʻamau ʻo Apple CarPlay a me Android Auto ma nā mea ʻelua, no laila hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomalu i nā polokalamu kelepona ma o ka pale i loko o ka kaʻa. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka nānā ʻana o ka Focus, ʻoiai ʻaʻole ia he mea kupanaha mai ka wā i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ai ma 2018, aʻo ka Astra a puni mai 2015. Eia nō naʻe, ʻoi aku ka pane o ka pale o Astra i ka wā e hoʻohana ai ʻoe, ʻoiai inā ʻo ka Vauxhall āu e nānā nei ʻo ia ka mana hou loa (i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo Nowemapa 2019) no ka mea ua loaʻa iā ia kahi ʻōnaehana infotainment hou a me nā hiʻohiʻona hou a me nā mīkini. 

Ma ka holoʻokoʻa, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka Astra ma loko. Maikaʻi ka Focus, akā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka Astra, me nā mea e nānā a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi.

ʻO ke keʻena ukana a me ka pono

He mau millimeters ma ʻaneʻi a ma laila nā mea a pau e hoʻokaʻawale i ka Focus a me Astra i ka hapa nui o nā ana o waho, a ua like ko lākou mau loko i ka nui. 

ʻAʻole nui nā mea e koho ai ma nā noho mua. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻonoho maʻalahi i ʻelua mau mākua ma ke kua o kēlā me kēia kaʻa, ʻoiai ʻekolu e ʻokiʻoki i nā huakaʻi lōʻihi. E loaʻa i nā mākua lōʻihi kahi lumi hou aʻe ma hope o ka Focus, akā he lumi ʻelua no ke kaʻa o kēia nui.

Ma ke ʻano holoʻokoʻa, kūpono nā kaʻa ʻelua no nā ʻohana, akā ke kau ʻia nā noho hope, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka Astra i ka pahu. Inā ʻoe e pelu i lalo i nā noho hope no nā mea ʻoi aku ka nui, loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi lumi hou aʻe i ka Focus, no laila ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi no ka hoʻouka ʻana i nā kaʻa a i ʻole ka holo nui. Loaʻa i nā kaʻa ʻelua ka nui o ka waiho ʻana a me nā ʻeke puka, a me nā paʻa kīʻaha sliding-lid ma waena o nā noho mua.

He aha ke ala maikaʻi e holo ai?

ʻO ka Focus a me Astra kekahi o nā kaʻa leʻaleʻa o kā lākou ʻano e hoʻokele, no laila ʻo ka mea maikaʻi loa iā ʻoe e pili ana i kāu mau mea nui. 

He mea maʻalahi a maʻalahi hoʻi ke kaʻa ʻana a me ke kaʻa like ʻana ma ke kūlanakauhale e like me ka lōʻihi ma nā ala kaʻa. Akā inā makemake ʻoe i ka hoʻokele a makemake ʻoe e hoʻokele i ka home ma ke alanui ʻāina ma mua o ke ala kaʻa ʻelua, e ʻike ʻoe i ka manaʻo ʻoi aku ka leʻaleʻa o ka Focus, me ka agility, ka manaʻo kaulike, a me ka hoʻokele e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ka hilinaʻi maoli. Ma hope o ka huila. 

Inā ʻaʻole pilikia kēlā ʻano mea iā ʻoe, a laila ʻaʻohe koho ma waena o nā kaʻa ʻelua. Inā he mea nui ka hōʻoluʻolu, e pale aku i nā ʻoki ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi (e like me nā hiʻohiʻona ST-Line i ka Focus) no ka mea ʻaʻole ʻoluʻolu ka holo. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻoluʻolu o ka holo ʻana o Focus, akā holo mālie nā kaʻa ʻelua a maikaʻi hoʻi no ke kaʻa kaʻa no ka mea ʻaʻole ʻoe lohe nui i ke ala a i ʻole ka leo makani i loko i nā wikiwiki kiʻekiʻe.

He aha ka ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka loaʻa ʻana?

He waiwai nui nā kaʻa ʻelua no ke kālā, akā e ʻike maʻamau ʻoe i ke kūʻai ʻana i kahi Astra i emi iki ma mua o kahi Focus. 

I ka wā e pili ana i ka holo ʻana o nā kumukūʻai, e hilinaʻi nui ʻia i ka mīkini āu e koho ai. ʻO nā kaʻa kaʻa he ʻoi aku ke kumukūʻai a ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka wahie ma ke kahua kinoea, akā hāʻawi nā diesel i ka hoʻokele waiwai ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, me nā awelika kūlana kiʻekiʻe o 62.8mpg i ka Focus a me 65.7mpg i ka Astra. E hoʻomaopopo naʻe, ua hoʻololi ʻia ka ʻenehana Astra no 2019, me nā hiʻohiʻona kahiko e emi ana ka maikaʻi.

E ʻike paha ʻoe i kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona Focus hou i hoʻolaha ʻia me ka ʻenehana "mild hybrid". He ʻōnaehana uila koho ia i hoʻopili ʻia i ka ʻenekini ʻaila e hoʻemi iki i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka wahie, akā ʻaʻole ia he hybrid piha a ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokele me ka mana uila wale nō.

Ka palekana a me ka hilinaʻi

He kūlana maikaʻi ko Ford a me Vauxhall no ka hilinaʻi, ʻoiai ʻo ka JD Power 2019 UK Vehicle Dependability Study, kahi noiʻi kūʻokoʻa o ka ʻoluʻolu o nā mea kūʻai aku, ʻoi aku ka nui o Vauxhall ma mua o Ford. Eia naʻe, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā mea hana ʻelua ma mua o ka awelika ʻoihana, ʻo ia ka nūhou maikaʻi no nā mea kūʻai aku.

Inā hewa kekahi mea, hāʻawi ʻo Ford a me Vauxhall i ʻekolu makahiki, 60,000 mau mile. He pā kēia no ka papa no kēia ʻano kaʻa, ʻoiai he ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o nā palapala hoʻopaʻapaʻa o kekahi mau mea hoʻokūkū, me ka palapala hōʻoia ʻehiku makahiki o Kia Ceed, 100,000 mile e kū nei.

Ua lako nā mīkini ʻelua me nā hiʻohiʻona palekana he nui. Ma 2018, hāʻawi ʻo Euro NCAP i ka Focus i ka helu ʻelima-hōkū kiʻekiʻe me nā helu kiʻekiʻe ma nā ʻāpana āpau. Ua loaʻa i ka Vauxhall Astra nā hōkū ʻelima i ka makahiki 2015 a ua like nā helu like. Hele mai nā kaʻa ʻelua me ʻeono mau ʻeke air. He kūlana maʻamau ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka pilikia pilikia ma ka Focus hou loa, akā ʻoiai he nui nā Astras i hoʻohana i kēia hiʻohiʻona palekana koʻikoʻi, nalo paha kekahi (ʻoi aku ka nui o nā hiʻohiʻona kahiko) no ka mea he koho ia ma kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona.
