i got
Loan = 40k
bank = Affin
Repayment = 7 yrs
Rate = 2.8%

You'd be incurring additional interest charges of RM 1,980 on a 7-yr loan compared to mine.

A 5-yr repayment period would save you almost RM 2k. But monthly payment would go up by RM 195.

i got
Loan = 70k
bank = MB
Repayment = 9 yrs
Rate = 2.75%

totally understand that but I couldnt fork out additional RM 200 per month for the time being, hence decided to go for 7 years.

'rough' gear shift, i think most malaysians spoiled by CVT gearboxes already

go get one! i"m having fun driving it everyday!!!!

i got 2.69% pa loan interest rate from PBB for 9 years tenure...

cant wait to have my black 'dark force' fiesta...

I paid downpayment yesterday and the sa called me today saying they have immediate stock!! upon further questioning, found out it's 2010 car.... I passed on this car and rather wait 2-3 months...

wats the fuel consumption like?

i prefer ths car anytime over the swift....i find swift gayiish...my opinion only

My most recent refill was 32.58 litres (RM 61.91 @ RM1.90 per litre) after driving 490.90 km. Cumulative distance travelled is around 2,188 km.

15.066 km per litre
6.638 litre per 100 km
RM0.126 per litre (on BHP Infiniti 95)

Average distance travelled is 60 - 65km per day (depending on route taken). Roughly 60% highway and 40% urban roads. Speed is mostly kept within the 110 - 120kph range (on highways).

RM0.126 per litre is fantastik lah

guys, can i know how much is the rpm @ 110km/h?

The tachometer needle IIRC is slightly above the 2500 mark. Should be around 2600 RPM at 110km/h.

I think 2500-2600 for 110km/h is pretty standard among most cars, right? Only car so far I've seen do 110km/h at 2000rpm is the 1.4 Golf TSI

CVT cars also do 110 at 2k rpm, altis, slyphy and inspira

I finally received and drove mine. Coming from someone who previously owned a Proton, here is what I think.

Pros:
- Relatively cheap
- Unique design, not the same old Toy or Hornda
- Cabin space is... as far as driver is concerned... great. I'm always alone so I don't care.
- Nine times better pickup than my old car (slightly exaggerating)
- Plenty of electronic features not found in other cars with the same price range (hill assist, grade assist, immobilizer, electric power steering, etc.)
- Cap-less refuel

Cons:
- Voice-control utterly useless. Failed to change to HitzFM frequency 100/100 attempts. I'm not exaggerating.
- Not sure bout the after-sales service, but the before-sales service (if there exists such a term) was a nightmare. Basically, I'm not happy with the sales assistant. A bad sign of things to come?
- The small compartment under the bottom-right of the steering wheel (don't know what it is called) wouldn't close properly and kept falling open.
- Powershift gear changes not smooth. Need to be extra gentle with accelerator during jams otherwise car will jerk like mad
