Same here, would've booked it if there's a 1.6 manual, or a manual override on the twin clucth auto.

QUOTE(Notoriez @ Oct 25 2010, 01:08 AM) How many working adult who is not married yet in M'sia Well, many. I'm 25 and most of my friends around my age can afford 70-100k car and we don't plan to get married as yet. It depends on what field you are in. What i meant is generally by the time we can afford cars between 70-100k is already planning to have family.  |

QUOTE(junbecks @ Oct 25 2010, 11:43 AM) Really punch through the gears and the revs go up quickly. But for 1.4, it starts to lose puff around 4.5k rpm. okay lah, not that bad. Is there any company in Malaysia willing to sell a slightly higher end car with a manual transmission? Manual transmissions are cheaper and much more reliable than an auto. A 1.6 Fiesta or 1.6 turbo Peugeot 308 with a manual would be perfect, but obviously the car companies only think about money...If 1.6 Manual i'd be slobbering already. |

QUOTE(Vervain @ Oct 24 2010, 05:05 PM) drum is there to reduce cost and reduce the need of applying abs feature on the drums as drum brakes rarely lock up at high speeds But the Fiesta DOES come with 4-wheel ABS... |

Good for you but how many of us are earning more than RM5k per month around that age bracket. Unless living with family and your salary is only to pay car loan and entertainment then you can afford to buy car around the 70-100k bracket  Yup, also depends on what field we are working in. If O&G, no need to say anything la. I also can afford to get this car but i would be sacrificing alot of other important things like investment, insurance and savings  This post has been edited by Notoriez: Oct 26 2010, 03:17 AM |

I'm wondering if this car is considered an upgrade to my City '08.
The City 08 is already good for me and in fact I prefer it to the latest City. But I've always liked a hatchback and this Fiesta looks wicked! |

Yes, City is already good for you. Unless you are going for another car, then this is a good choice.

Not a fanboy of T&H and myself driving a proton. Just wanted to highlight that if you are planning to change cars every 5 years, second hand value is important and maybe that is why many go for T&H.
But if you don't mind driving the same car for 9 - 12 years, then don't bother about second hand value. |

There are quite a number of high end manual cars in the local market if you look and search around like Suzuki Swift Sport, Renault Clio RS, Mini Cooper, Renault Megane R26, Civic Type R, Impreza WRX STI , Porsche Boxter etc etc.... |
