1.6LX Sedan (A) - RM 78,888 (OTR)

good price. but service center too little. They don't even have 3s service center.

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.

just test drive fiesta 1.6 sedan today. The engine very responsive and NVH is definitely better than mazda & toyota. The DSG feeling is a bit weird, i not used to higher rpm on high gear. I wonder how reliable is this 6-SPEED DSG compare to honda city idsi CVT. Engine roaring up to 3k rpm after rolling over bump. You definitely will feel the a sudden harsh power when you over accelerate. The torque definitely is there for pick up. Cornering is good, but absorber on new car i think got problem, when ever i roll over uneven road i heard tuk tuk tuk sound. Parking of car is a nightmare, you can't see the car front bonet which makes you difficult to guess your car bonet distance.

The steering wheel is a bit weird. Bigger diameter on LHS and RHS but UP and DOWN is slimmer, which makes gripping not so firm. The steering wheel a bit high compare to other brand.

The seat i can't find the adjust hi-lo handle. Only can adjust FR and RR.

There is no temperature meter on the console panel nor the meter panel. Only got warning indicator when engine overheat.

The middle console panel a bit bulky. Too much button cramp together, which will makes you confuse. This car do not have auto lock for door. Need to press manually, which is located at the cd player console. There is no latch or button on 4 sides of the door to release the door lock. The A/C control button cheaply feel compare to kia forte.

interior of the whole car is made of plastic and some small patch of fabric on the door panel. The plastic is hard and sturdy. The storage compartment is simple and not as good as toyota. You will not have a chance to put your starbucks coffee. The 2 cup holder is just enough to slot in small mineral water or can drinks. The car is spacious for room leg, but a bit cramp for big body & big buttock. Tall guy/gal beware your head for rear seat.


cons. I dislike the steering wheel and the default height of the steering. Where is the hi-lo adjustable handle for the driver seat?
