Test drove it last weekend. Awesome performance and especially the NVH, it really feels like you're driving something worth 100k++. Only thing is, because I'm coming from a Wira, when I first step in it feels like space in the front is cramped. And yes, space in the back is very crampled. I guess Ford designed this for 1-2 people, coz the booth is quite spacious.

Test drove the fiesta today it was seriously very good for an 82k car, the handling and the responsiveness is just awesome, comparing it with my forte made me doubt my decision,


Added on December 18, 2010, 5:18 pmAnd to those who doubt ford quality go google car quality for this year it is ranked 5 behind Lexus and a host of luxury cars

Malaysia's specs are better than those review in Europe IINM.

Maintenance for me is similar to other B-segment cars. I compare to my 08 City and the difference is negligible.

You might want to take a look at Fiesta Malaysia fanpage. They posted a list of spareparts price.

By the way, compared to Europe, US and China, Thailand is the last to start Fiesta production, and it’s a good thing in this case. Being the last in line, our Asia Pacific spec car incorporates many improvements that Ford “learned along the way” from introduction elsewhere. This effectively means that at present, we can buy a better Fiesta than Europeans and Americans, who will eventually get the enhancements.

let me share a lil bit with you guys..

My bro owns a fiesta (almost 3 weeks now). White 1.4HB. Like most of you who has test drive it, it feels awesome! Last saturday and sunday, i have the whole two days testing the car like crazy.

Even with 1.4M, the response are very good. NVH are good. Very good on the cornering, brilliant on the straight line. If you feel like "layan corner" a lot, its simple, change your tyre. My bro use 195/55 R15. Works like magic!

Managed to outrun BMW e46 318i on a straight line (normal road, not highways). 150km/h with revs at 4000. Not too bad. The gears and clutch are very smooth.

Also managed to test drive 1.6S HB. It feels the same, with more power. Response are slightly better from 1.4M. Maybe because of more power. If you are used to drive "crappy" car (protons & perodua), you will not notice the gear change. From my point of view, the response are much better than new 1.5City.

For fuel consumption, theres a trick to it.
1. past weeks, my bro runs the machine on Ron95. Full Tank can run for 500+km
2. i test run on Ron97. Full tank can run for almost 700km

So, you do the math on the costing.

no major issues yet. kereta baru pakai maaaa.

i just want to say RON97 is better. maybe it will cost you the same amount of money with RON95 for fuel consumption, but technically, RON97 is better for your engine.

MAJOR concerning things is door lock. If you are in the car, lock it, and you still can open the doors from inside. That is scary man! hope ford will neutralized it back.

If you are using child lock for back doors, it will be permanen. I means if you unlock the doors, you still cant open the backdoors from inside. you have to open from outside.

We also test lock the car, drive, and then open the front doors while moving. The fiesta system will automatically apply brakes slowly. The car will slowly stop. Not emergency brake.

Really nice system, but lock is supposed to be lock lah kan. How come when lock also can open the door maaaaaaaaaa


Added on December 29, 2010, 5:49 pmme and my bro drive quite aggressively. I mean when theres a chance to take over, we will take over. When theres a chance to speed, we will put our foot down. We have the same driving style.

And we make sure we test the car "kaw-kaw" because theres a 3 years warranty for parts. mesti boleh cover punya!
