QUOTE(deadfish @ Nov 5 2010, 01:12 AM) The car has been launched a total one of 2 weeks and people are talking about 2nd hand value already?
Ahahaha I really like this M'sian mentality of buying car like buying stocks...
Just buy a car you like, drive the heck out of it and f**k the resale value.
You already do that with your computers and smartphones... A computer or a smartphone does not cost as much as a car. Why do u think ppl in US and Europe dont really care about resale value? Cuz their cars are cheap. You can get a BMW 3 series for about USD$ 35,000. Do u think u would care about resale values if ure buying at those prices? Malaysia is a different story. Resale value play a big part in the decision making and rightly so (unless ure a rich person with a bottomless pocket). |

Went to the showroom last week and really impressed with the specs/design/interior/etc compared with similar priced T and H. Just IMO the 1.6 should come with 'manual override for the AT' or just a MT.

Put it to 'L', that mode picks the lowest gear possible for the current speed.

I think u can try using the gradient assist button on the gearshift, it works like an OD off button... Works for me... |

my main concern is the parts pricing...
in the long run the maintenance might be very high if the parts is expensive

Very useful when there are jerks flashing their headlamps behind you. Leaves them in a pile of crap as you accelerate away.

I never figured out what significant advantage there will be for using rear disc brakes. as ford fiesta is a front wheel driven vehicle, 70% of the braking power is from the front and 30% is from the rear...heck even sylphy is a 2.0 and it's on a drum brake, so its not really a big deal.. under heavy braking however, disc brakes offer better heat dissipation as opposed to drums which are enclosed in the metal case itself.. cars in the older days were running on all 4 drum brakes both front and back, VW beetle is one of them. However brake fade is very noticeable when it heats up, hence that's why we have discs as standards now for most cars.. This post has been edited by keagan: Nov 20 2010, 01:15 PM |

However brake fade is very noticeable when it heats up, hence that's why we have discs as standards now for most cars.. That's what I'm thinking. Under heavy braking, the weight transfer even more to the front, meaning that the front brakes are now doing even more work than the rear brakes (compared to normal braking), so what's the point of having rear disc brakes in this case?
