between this and the vios, which is better huh?..in ur opinion..

Apparently the central lock button in the middle is a trend now with new cars. I wonder why. Peugeot 207 has it smack right in the middle, with HUGE red buttons too 

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...

For fiesta owner,

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

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 ?

any fiesta owner that had performed the first service? just curious whether its 100% free service is true ..
