CVT cars also do 110 at 2k rpm, altis, slyphy and inspira
inspira does 110km/h at 2k rpm as well?Kinda makes me wonder how good the FC is for the Fiesta

QUOTE(BaboonZ @ Feb 1 2011, 03:14 AM) I finally received and drove mine. Coming from someone who previously owned a Proton, here is what I think. Quite agree with you. Also that small compartment...what is that? is it the steering adjuster thingy? i never had that problem.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 Add one pros: - very good sound system, good enough for you not to worry about. edit: so far service is somewhat slow, since they only have 2(?) centers in klang valley (pj and jalan ipoh AFAIK). must book first cannot walk in. i got my 1st 1000km inspection, took them 3-4 hrs to do because of lots of other cars to service. also, i bugs me is that i have to use castrol engine oil (at least that's what the CS guy told me), or they could "question" my warranty if i use other engine oil (what can i say i like mobil1). on the plus side, engine oil is free for 6x service (10k km x6).

do love ford car....especially the Ford Laser. Tell you once i had this before and they are really powerful.
Anyway i sold off because it is a bit difficult to maintain and no time for sourcing the parts. Well done Ford, You are trying to get back/ or comeback into malaysia market. We will glad to have you back coz it will let us have more choice. However yr service is not so good or your net working is still small. We will happy for you. |

Proton, Toyota, Honda, Naza, blah blah blah... not sure about other makes but when i got my City VTEC 3 years back, there was some grease on the cabin's ceiling and wind coming into the cabin via the windscreen if driven at 120kmph...called the SC, told them about the problem, they ordered the parts, booked appointment for me, and less than 1 week, called me back and changed the cabin's ceiling board, whole piece... took out the windscreen and re-glued back... then recently there was something wrong with my front bearings and engine mounting... mileage already 99+k km... straight away they claim under warranty, parts came 5 days later, they called me in to install... not sure if local makes are able to give this kind of service... if yes, then i would say congratulations, 25 years is a long time but at least something has improved...

I can say proton service sucks. Toyota is good. Honda, so far still okay. That's why I won't buy any proton anymore. Cause the service sucks. Toyota service, you can see they have good standards implementation through out. It's all part of their quality service control. If that also you say service sucks then you open SC, I send my car to you for service.This post has been edited by abubin: Feb 1 2011, 05:21 PM |

I have read lot of very promising reviews and had set my expectation high.
Last week, I have test driven the 1.6l fiesta and I am dissapointed. Acceleration is not impressive for a small 1.6 car. Maybe I was comparing with a 2.0l Focus. Gear jerks whenever I lift the fuel pedal. Personally, I feel like a noob driving a manual car. However, I read from paul tan's review again. It mentioned about a sports / OD off button which suppose to hold on to the gear for 3 seconds? Could that be the culprit? |

QUOTE(wb4j @ Feb 5 2011, 10:38 AM) I have read lot of very promising reviews and had set my expectation high. Gear jerks happens when it tried to shift while you lift the pedal. Takes a while to adjust yourself to the transmission. And yes while trying to take over cars from, lets say 100km/h, it'll lag a bit so you have to anticipate a bit when to accelerate.Last week, I have test driven the 1.6l fiesta and I am dissapointed.

QUOTE(faidz85 @ Feb 7 2011, 09:41 AM) What's the latest interest rate and offers for new Fiesta S? For car loan i recommend you ask ambank with its variable interest rate before you go for other banks. ATM AFAIK rates are low i got mine at 2.8% for nine years, 2.7% for 7 years that was last year. My friend works with CIMB hire purchase told me rates are low atm (i'm guessing around 2.5%).Also, any news on other upgrades? e.g bodykits Edit: Fiesta 2011 comes with bodykits (with extra cost), i asked around ppl from ford. But dont quote me. This post has been edited by Spymonkey: Feb 9 2011, 05:20 PM |
