Nice car....love to have it but too pricey...

and as other LYN'ers mentioned, for that kind of price only married adults can consider buying 70-100k car but they rather have sedan to carry their families.

The HB version well suited for a youngster like me however in M'sia average young working adult can't afford >50k car

How many working adult who is not married yet in M'sia

What i meant is generally by the time we can afford cars between 70-100k is already planning to have family.

The car has been launched a total one of 2 weeks and people are talking about 2nd hand value already?
Ahahaha I really like this M'sian mentality of buying car like buying stocks...

Just buy a car you like, drive the heck out of it and f**k the resale value.
You already do that with your computers and smartphones...

I'm loving it so far!
It's a sweet drive... so much better than a Vios and City (no offence T&H fans, but it's the truth)

I don't care much about leather seats, they are really unsuitable for our weather...
The body kit i'm just waiting to see if the original comes in a couple of months, if not then aftermarket here I come...

Speaking of car styling, it's really hard to find sport rims for the Fiesta, PCD 108 and offset +45 means rims are expensive and not readily available...

The central lock button is not the main complaint, it's the fact that the car DOES NOT autolock when you depress the brake pedal or when you hit 10kmh that is the main issue... you must always remember to press the lock button yourself if you don't want some homeless guy sitting next to you at the traffic lights...

Went for test drive today at Puchong Ford center (can't speed since the roads were packed). Amusing thing is that the signal sticks are on the left and not swapped for right-hand side driving. Haven't drove a car with inverted signal sticks since Saab Scania over 10 years back. LOL!!!

The ones coming out from Thailand plant will also still retain the left stick signal indicator design?

Overall, impressed by the test drive experience.

History of family car exposure in chronological order:

Fiat - right signal
Ford Laser - right signal
Nissan Sunny 120Y - right signal
Perodua Kancil - right signal
Proton Wira - right signal
Saab Scania - left signal
Toyota Camry - right signal
Nissan Latio - right signal
Ford Fiesta - left signal

so happy today, just called JPJ, they confirmed i won bid for JPJ No. *** 42....

a minor setback, 1 and half months booking, still no news on my black fofi...
