Assuming the Suprima S is almost similar in performance with the Preve Turbo, the Suprima is slower than the Focus. The Thais have done extensive test-runs on Preve Turbo and Ford Focus, taking the average times out of about 5 runs. The results are as below.



I am pretty sure that the acceleration at the top end from say 100km/h to 160km/h++ of the Preve Turbo(Suprima) will not match the Focus as in my experience the Preve starts to lose steam earlier and show reduced acceleration whereas the Focus continues to accelerate uniformly without much struggle. The specs does support this observation as the maximum output of the Preve Turbo is only 103kW compared to 170kW of the Focus.

when the focus just came out... it was promoted as the best power in its class. what surprised me in the comparison list is civic 2.0 just about the same with altis 1.8

I once read an article from Autocar ASEAN where a local writer wrote a comparison between the Suprima S and the mk7 Golf. He was very daring to mention the Suprima S is close to Golf, although there are obvious weakness as what sportyhandling had pointed out.

A few issues later, that writer seems no longer with the magazine
