Saw it on newspaper today! Quite nice actually. Orangeee~ I wonder how will it perform?

Sadly the 1.6L Sedan's rear doesnt look modern.

they lowered the price summore. bet that is because of the new walanja.

yea good move actually they did that

some like it conservative tho, so to each own. but still, it's one nice car priced very nice for people looking for an everyday mover & doesn't makes you feel bad sitting inside. too bad it's abit small for what i am looking for...but then again it never was meant to be big, =)

the next new focus might be the right one.

Yes its all due to the Forte pricing. Good for all the end users. Hope the Hyundai Avante will be better priced. But Ford should give a 5 yr warranty just like what Naza Kia os offering for the new Forte.

For u sure la will be small cuz ure driving the previous model Toyota Altis which is quite spacious.

yep, i am kindda spoilt for a good replacement, =)

i can't even bring myself to accept the pug 308 because it's not quick off the shot enough, nor the golf coz it's just not wide enough, etc etc. to me, i always felt that while T doesn't make the best cars to awe people over, it is subtle enough to make one who has driven one to constantly compare for a worthwhile all-rounder. that's actually what T is really strong at, all-rounder cars. not the fastest, not the best looking, but still somehow it's hard to find another car that has abit of everything.

It comes with a dual clutch right?

Wonder hows the maintenance on that?

does it come with push start?

i see the website it got mention key-less entry only but i cant see push start.

Since dual clutch is kind of new here, I'm speculating that it (the clutches) would last like a manual trans would - i.e. under normal driving, probably ~10yrs. Hopefully it has serviceable parts.

Other than that, the other mechanical parts, I believe nobody has the idea yet.

yeah but the Peogeot 308 is quite spacious at the rear (slightly better than the 407)

Hope Ford doesnt do wht Naza did. For the first Forte buyers they only got the 2 yrs warranty. But new owners now have the 5 yr warranty while old owners must pay a premium for the extra coverage.

Good effort and pricing by Ford, thumbs up..hope to see on the road soon

i know, space wasn't a problem with the pug. the lethargic engine & turbo lag was. golf doesn't suffer as bad with this "continental feel" mainly because it is also smaller, which means the back won't be comfortable for long. the fiesta is very close to the golf in terms of the feeling it gives off, very comfortable for the driver & front, with a certain sacrifice from the people sitting behind.

Downloaded the brochure. Why can't I have Phantom Blue on the hatchback?

u r comparing a C-segment car with B segment.. what are u expecting?
dont say toyota, all other car u take C segment compare with lower segment of course la the higher one is all round better

erm...i would appreciate if you dont reply in such manner... Edit:i wasn't looking to condemn any specific cars or looking for a fight, im just stating my experiance with each of them, and there is actually nothing that was wrong with what i said. it's already a known for people who has driven both models.

actually, the 308 & golf are both C-segment cars, no? =/

if they are not, then i am sorry. they are not as small as the typical B segment cars, so i could be wrong.

but then again, every knows Forte is a C segment car, but still it is not spared from being compared to VIos/city which is obviously smaller.

huh? what kind of "manner" are u looking for in internet forum?
btw, im talking about comparing fiesta with golf or maybe ur altis
thats the problem with malaysian whereby they compare based on pricing, not the car segment
