Coming from an '08 City user, the car isn't that small actually though isn't as spacious as the City but its really close.

The front seats hold your body in place. The interior though a bit plasticky, is beautiful to look at. You will get enough connectivity options.

Car's body is solid. Seems heavy. The design is so nice to look at. I think its a good car for 4 people and <175cm.

The only thing that bugs me a lot is the rear drum brakes. I feel with this type of performance(near/better engine than the current city) they should have at least solid disc rear brakes.

Unfortunately, the car wasn't available for test drive in my place. Am looking forward to test the car's handling and brakes. And the fact that they claim its better on fuel compared to my City is just intriguing. Twin clutch goodness nyum2.

disc brake easy for inspection of brake pad. Drum brake is not visible for inspection Need to remove the whole drum and check the brake pad.

disc brake cool down faster than drum brake.

I wonder why the rear brakes are using drums

as ford fiesta is a front wheel driven vehicle, 70% of the braking power is from the front and 30% is from the rear...heck even sylphy is a 2.0 and it's on a drum brake, so its not really a big deal..

under heavy braking however, disc brakes offer better heat dissipation as opposed to drums which are enclosed in the metal case itself.. cars in the older days were running on all 4 drum brakes both front and back, VW beetle is one of them. However brake fade is very noticeable when it heats up, hence that's why we have discs as standards now for most cars..

Any idea if they'll bring in the lime squeeze green color?
