Downloaded the brochure. Why can't I have Phantom Blue on the hatchback?

Choosing a car doesn't necessary stuck to one segment choice. User preference is subjective & always surrounded with "what if" dilemma.

For example. Polo 1.2 looks nice, but with that money I could buy an 1.6 Altis which is much-much spacious. But then again smaller car its easier to park maybe a Myvi is better. But Polo has awesome DSG gearbox & its cheaper roadtax. Forte seemed like a bargain & bigger but can I count on aftersales service? Maybe a Honda City but Vios is cheaper.

So many possibilities.

launch is launch joh.. but seem like MY here still no have sports sedan which ford Thailand have it (same factory why here can't have?), hope ford will bring sport sedan come in then next year is really a good year for buying new car

btw... i think soon will see the T+ H sales been affected on B segment car (vios + honda) as ford 1.4(M) price is lesser than vios J 1.5(M) (personal opinion)

The price here in east malaysia is 7K more than what you would get in the west!They charge 2.3k in the brochure for S-Package which includes rear spoiler, wheel cap and 3 year warranty when you can get it free in west msia. Thats daylight robbery!

Car tax, sales tax, dealer tax & whatever tax...Its a damn miracle that the price is cheaper than 1st announced. Usually other way round saying yen, dollar, euro getting weaker whatever nonsense.

Look for the yellow or blue coloured star marker for those in the list.

Test drove the car already. Quite satisfied with the performance and the NVH of the car. The part that turns me down is the interior. The dashboard looks really cheap and the once sitting at the rear seat , it feels pretty cramp as well. Its not a bad car but will look forward to proton inspira. =D

had the chance to test drive 1.4 fiesta manual at ford federal highway showroom. road was empty around those industrial area so i manage to rev the car to 6k rpm. Shift @ high rpm and manage to blip the throttle to enter few junction and 1 roundabout. NHV is superb and handling is great for a rear torsion suspension. HP interest going @ 2.8 for 5 yr installment. need to adjust the feeling of left hand signal knob. But i would be sold if they have a 1.6 ti-vct MANUAL sport specs

Awesome. That's the review I'm looking for.

In Sabah, the Ford dealer only had a 1.6 hatchback test unit. Didn't bother test drive it although its a 6 speed DCT, but its a strictly auto only.

I'm interested in 1.4 manual. 1.6 manual would be perfect.
