Mh... or wait until Ford fits the 1.4 with 2 airbags? Will that even happen? Why not equip them all with 6 or 7...
Btw., I'm curious: according to the Ford website the top end hatchback only has 4 airbags or so... the cheaper sedan has 7. Huh? |

QUOTE(Jim.tan @ Dec 13 2011, 03:09 PM) Hi bro, sorry don't have 1.4L for test drive. Now only can order.. Once arrive estimates end month I don't think allow for test drive, as belong to customer Mh, yeah, noticed a Fiesta sitting in a Giant, and the leaflet also listed a non 7 airbag sedan for 78888. I think the price increase is worth it. Not a big increase. but will keep you update on that  Added on December 13, 2011, 3:12 pm Not sure if thy gonna increase airbag or not.. If increase airbag cost will increase too. Hatchback only 2 airbags.. And yep the sedan have 7 airbag that's why their price increase from RM78,888 to RM81,388. Hatchback is more expensive maybe cause of body kit? And design?  Must be the bodykit, but really not worth it IMHO. What's more important, your life or how your car looks like? |

QUOTE(dtna7 @ Oct 20 2013, 08:54 PM) Previous Fiesta sales majority consist of the S, which, apparently is only 2 airbags as well. Yeah, cause it was the only stylish hatchback. Now I can get a stylish Rio at a lower price, or for slightly more a much more attractive 208, which also has a better made interior. And both options come with 6 airbags. The market has become much more competitive... and Ford responds by increasing the price and downgrading the car.Numbers don't lie. You can't blame Ford for offering only 2 airbags to Malaysians.  |

QUOTE(deladela @ Oct 21 2013, 06:26 PM) It's best you wait for the 1.0l Ecoboost or take the pre-facelifted Fofi. I don't think the current one is worth it, if the 1.0 is coming next year. Just the engine itself would get you thinking twice. I don't think the current one is going anywhere. The 1.0 will be the range topper, and might have all the airbags etc. Seems to me like they want to differentiate.If I would predict a price, I would say that the 1.0l Ecoboost would be priced somewhere around the RM94k - 100k region as the current outgoing one is priced at RM87k. The numbers told Toyota that Camry buyers don't care about ESP. Well... Then why did Toyota made it standard on all Camrys after less than a year? |

You never know what you had until you've lost it.
Yes, they made surveys and all (or just looked at sales figures), but those can be deceiving or maybe a case of wrong question asked. "What features are you looking for when buying a new car?" or "What features of the Camry do you care about the most?" will give a different result than "Would you mind if we remove ESP?". Will people say they bought the Camry cause it has aircon? I don't think so. Will they want the car if it doesn't have aircon? And yeah, I hope numbers tell Ford now that that was a bad move. |
