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  Added on October 24, 2010, 5:47 pmSure boh???  Got this in their website... Fuel Efficiency With the combination of 6 speed dual clutch transmission (PowerShift®), twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT) Ford Fiesta will have an estimate fuel consumption of 5.9L to a 100 kilometers. 42 liter fuel tank will enable a travel distance of 700 kms.

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.

QUOTE(Folio @ Oct 25 2010, 04:58 PM) 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. 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

QUOTE(JamesPond @ Oct 26 2010, 03:16 AM) ford...........no 2nd hand value  typical M'sian mentality. Only in Malaysia but definitely better than other brands like T&H can offer around the price  For me, i choose a car not based on resale value but based on the pleasure i can gain from driving it

QUOTE(me que @ Oct 26 2010, 11:02 PM) 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. +101 QUOTE(faidz85 @ Oct 26 2010, 06:44 PM) 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! Of course  This car more suited to a person who love spirited driving + love to chop hill

QUOTE(Yeapy @ Oct 27 2010, 10:50 PM) You want resale value go buy UMW Toyota share, sure go up and giving you dividend periodically. Any common car, be it a Toyota value also drop, if a car second hand value is so good why not the buyer just get a new one since second hand car loan comes with higher interest rate? A check on Mudah show that Swift Sport 2008 is selling at 75-80k region, quite fair for a 2 year old car which was selling at 94888 that time Swift Sport is nice NA car for Peksan..but price is  I haven't driven Fiesta yet, so hard to know whether it's on par with Swift Sport or not.
