Loan approval takes a maximum of 3 days only.

Mine was approved in less than 48 hours.

I think there's no maximum. Mine took over a week already >.<"

Not too sure if it's applicable for the Focus models here as I presume the Focus models here in Malaysia are not equipped with the Myford Touch (InfoEntertainment System?)IE system which I think is an interactive touchscreen system.

As for the "Ford continued to have problems with its 6-speed dual-clutch PowerShift transmissions", the "problems" aren't elaborated in the article. I can't say the erratic jerkiness of the transmission at low speeds is a "problem" though but more to the characteristic of the dual-clutch system. Nevertheless, fussier drivers which are used to conventional transmissions may regard this as an issue. I do hope the slight jerkiness of the transmission at low speeds would improve with time though.

One thing that surprises me is the mention on "poor predicted reliability ratings" of several Ecoboost Turbocharged V6 engines. It was mentioned that “In every example where there is a non-EcoBoost engine, the models with the EcoBoost engines tend to have worse reliability than the ones that don’t have those engines,”

Affinbank does seem to provide the lowest rate in comparison to other banks.

I have a Honda City at home as well. Compared between Focus Sport and City, the only thing lose to city is the boot space. Stability, power and technology - Ford wins! But my wife complain the juddering at slow speed during test drive... haha which is normal for DCT

Yes, it's a good car. Superb handling and looks good too. Several weeks ago I was trailing a Peugeot 408, supposedly to be compared to the Focus. I just can't get by the ugly looks of it as the rear of the car looks awful. The Focus Titanium looks so much better.

Mods will be minimal for a time.... don't want to jeopardize the 3-year free maintenance/5-year warranty cover!

What about Mazda 3 2014? The front looks so much better, not sure about the responsive of the sky active engine, certainly the exterior wise, Mazda 3 are far better, so tempted to wait for Mazda 3, but it's a still a Japanese car, I'm tired of Japanese car.
