*shrugs* YMMV. I myself would just like to be prepared for the day that the 60k warranty period expires, certainly would be under 3 years in my case.

'One apple' being a metaphor.

Yes, I go read the Facebook wall every so often. I also get the impression that there are also a fair number of shallow people with a 'SC ppl didn't treat me like a king' attitude. I think the Cantonese term is 'yeh maan'.

The ratio of happy vs disgruntled Fiesta owners is obviously up for debate, just like Proton owners and Kia owners.

I'm not going to take the wild rantings of a few people as the gospel truth.

Frankly, even though the Rayong car is substandard to the Euro model, I still think the Fiesta offering here is a good car in itself. I just hope there will at least be a few Fiesta owners disgruntled with the car or the SC (kind of like the Teana and CRV owners in the other threads). I can exploit the fact and buy one of their 2-3 month old cars at a discount for 'happy fun use'

And this is what it means when people say that relationship with your car is sometimes more complicated than relationship with spouse 

yup, but, the gearbox is a reason for ppl to go back to SC. if it kong....most cannot afford to change, not like volvo owner, they are different income level.

last time my gf keeps complaint that i put more effort into the car rather than her... lol

Well, still considering both the Fiesta and the Forte for the price segment I'm willing to pay to replace my Waja as my second car.

Heart says Fiesta... but a bit cramped at the back.
Mind says Forte... more space, more gadgets, but ride and handling not as good.

Refer to initial discussion thread. Decisions, decisions

heart and mind says both koup and fiesta...

but wallet didnt allow...lol

whats the average fc for fiesta?

Since one costs RM30k more than the other, in my case, it's easier to justify the Fiesta. I'm not in the position to spend over RM100k on a 'happy fun ride'. 

30k more but worth it...
frameless door, 2 tone & leather interior, paddleshift, sunroof, 5 years warranty and the sexy audi lookalike butt (yummy)...

any fiesta owner that had performed the first service? just curious whether its 100% free service is true ..

But now Forte has 6-gear Shiftronic and better sound-proofing and the Honda Insight has gotten more irresistible with the massive discount for hybrid cars. I think might have bought a different car if it was now instead of then.
