For fiesta owner,

Do you find the gear change a bit off?
in traffic, it really annoying.
of it just my fiesta?


Added on December 31, 2010, 11:00 pm

drove mine on a curvy road, and to be honest, my parent old 1st gen Waja handle better.
A bit disappointed actually, the handling, the fuel consumption is much higher than the Waja.
and while driving at 150km/h feels a bit shaky compare to the Waja.

the only good think i see it that it acceleration is much better than the Waja
*
A bit off as in how ?

how long have you had your fiesta ? fuel consumption will improve after engine break in. I find the handling quite nippy and i kinda alright with it although its somehow a bit too sensitive but get i havent got use to it.

my parent old waja could get around 700km+ full tank (50% City 50% highway)

had it for few days now. my gear change is a bit jerky if in a traffic. and sudden drop in gear if i drove it traffic.
Handling i dont know, it really a car that made you involve more compare to my parent Waja. Waja for similar condition, I dont really have to compensate my degrees of cornering compare to the fiesta, feels like it going to oversteer in the corner and i have to compensate by throttle control and change my cornering angle. It feels like the ESP is overdoing it.
Just tried to drive and push it harder today, as you said, the cornering is a lil nippy, but well maybe i'm used to driving a car without ESP so this is all new to me. but then again, will ahve to get use to it i guess, or at least learn how the car is going to react at corners so i don't oversteer.

Waja Have a 55L tank and if not mistaken Ford Fiesta only have 42L
*
waja have 60L tank on paper, but i'd try to fill it up to 65L before

QUOTE(Qusyairi2000 @ Jan 1 2011, 10:12 AM)
Yes with simple computation

Waja: 700km/55 = 12.7km per litter.
Fiesta : 480/42 = 11.4km per liter.

Waja seems to get a better milles per litter
*
so if waja have a 60L tank, 700km/60 = 11.6km

i don't think 200meters is that much of a difference. currently my system tells me I can go about 360km per full tank, but still new so shall see how it improves over time and report back here.

just drove 365KM+ back from Penang to KL,

Overall enjoyed the drive and keeping the revs high and low at various speed with an average speed of 120. System tells me the fuel tank still have enough fuel to go another 120km. Just realise that the light throw of fiesta's head lamps are damn far ! Overtaking was a breeze, even hitting 150kmph with ease and still stable ( at least nothing shaking here and there like my '01 waja 1.6 or noisy like my gf's waja 1.8 ). tried out the grade assist on the transmission while driving thru changkat jering hill area and proud to say that it is a pleasant one !

Should we start a fiesta owner club or something soon ?

u all make me gatal about fiesta... Damn... I love the car very much in terms of driving experience, but my concern is only the space and the comfort of the rear seat. tongue.gif

back seat quite ample space even for a huge size person to sit in with ease.

Why not consider the VW POLO!!!

not all can afford RM108k lae... and it's only 2cm longer in length and the specs are not really that interesting compared to a fiesta...

You'd be incurring additional interest charges of RM 1,980 on a 7-yr loan compared to mine.

A 5-yr repayment period would save you almost RM 2k. But monthly payment would go up by RM 195.
*
totally understand that but I couldnt fork out additional RM 200 per month for the time being, hence decided to go for 7 years.
