Hmm.. I've tested Peugeot 308, Latio, Mazda 2, Polo 1.2, and Focus. Why I chose Ford Fiesta is because of what I get with RM82k+. Compared to the rest, either the technology is older, or in Polo 1.2 case, yes it's new technology and apparently, when you drive the 1.2 TSI, it's supposed to feel like 2.0, which I don't feel it and it cost about RM108k+. And I like the design of the car, the Bluetooth and USB, and 6 speed, and most importantly, i love the feeling of driving it. I've tested Fiesta 3 times, and each time makes me like the car more. I like how the car just sticks to the road, very steady feel. You've gotta test the car to really know if you'd like it. I thought I'd love the 308, but when I actually drove it, it just wasn't to my liking.

If there's one thing I hope to change, it'd be the size. Yes, it's a bit small and narrow. You almost rub shoulders with your side passenger. And the beige netting at the roof(I assume to keep sunglasses) looks out of place. They could have just keep it simple, but they had to put a net there. It's fugly.

not sure about other makes but when i got my City VTEC 3 years back, there was some grease on the cabin's ceiling and wind coming into the cabin via the windscreen if driven at 120kmph...

called the SC, told them about the problem, they ordered the parts, booked appointment for me, and less than 1 week, called me back and changed the cabin's ceiling board, whole piece... took out the windscreen and re-glued back...

then recently there was something wrong with my front bearings and engine mounting... mileage already 99+k km... straight away they claim under warranty, parts came 5 days later, they called me in to install...

not sure if local makes are able to give this kind of service... if yes, then i would say congratulations, 25 years is a long time but at least something has improved...

there are only 2 3s ford centres in klang valley, right?
owners don't have a choice also... unless they are prepared to void warranty and service outside... or maybe go singapore like some 308 owners
