i activate the gradient assist button in hilly terrain AND also when to gain quick acceleration/power to overtake cars in flat road...

yeah... it would have been great if Sime Darby included the paddle shift..... but then again.... I personally never uses it(on my other car) 99% of the time.... the only time I ever uses manual overwrite is when I was coming down from Genting.....

oh ya... we dun get the digital climate control too.....

I've been using Fiesta for like 2 months

Sometimes you just dont know the speed. This car pretty much is solid at 120km/h crusing over Sprint Hwy , DUKE Hwy and NKVE. Fuel consumption is not bad. It lacks of auto cruise , wish the Malaysian version had it. Apart from that , overall , the car is pretty good !

prasys, what's the fc like? sedan or hatch?

Hatch 1.6 Sports

The downshift thingy is a bit jerky , especially when it comes to stop and go traffic (hint hint LDP). Apart from that iPhone/iPod connectivity + Bluetooth is a plus. Not sure about spare parts , yet. As for the fuel consumption its not bad. Wangsa Maju to Subang (via DUKE/Sprint/Federal or DUKE/NKVE or Duke/Sprint/LDP or pure Federal).

Again it boils to the individual person , there are people who would post that OMG this car sucks and others would praise it. Go , test drive it , like it - get it. If you want to compare and do critical analysis , it would not end at all. Look at your taste , some people just prefer Honda or other Japanese cars and others like my dad for instance prefer Korean cars

Erm.. i m only asking bout your fc.

dear owners, since the L mode actually uses all 6 gears, is it actually safe to shift to L from D in say, 100km/h speed for overtaking purpose? or should I use the Hill Launch Assist?

I checked the website. It seems to me that the 1.6 L Sport edition only has hatchback and no sedan? Am I right?

Yeah 1.6 Sports only has Sedan

U mean hatchback?

went to terengganu last month and fc was 5.5l/km..... KL use I get 6.5l/km.....

anyone have this Ford Fiesta 1.6 information?
i found this mandarin news about Ford Fiesta, what is international standard ISO FIX child seat? can very understand mandarin.

spare parts i dun think is a problem since all fiesta was assembled at Thailand.

5.5l/km? Or are u trying to say 5.5l/100km? As mine I'm travelling around klang valley area, after calculation is around 10.6l/100km, which is very far from urs

Could you pls clarify ur usage? Or what petrol, how u drive? Maye it's my driving habit which always accelerate at green, but I think that's what normally ppl do isn't it?

yeah... l/100km.... normal usage... slow drive... no hard acceleration... it's not a sports car.....

but then again, 10.6l/100km is really bad!! my other big cc cars can do better than that!

Have you done your 1st 10k service? Mine was bad but after the service it improves. Still not as good as claimed.

thats a pretty bold claim for 5.5L/100km

assuming RM70 = 36.8L = 669km a full tank?

sure?

no need hybrid already...

a check at Fuelly indicated Manual version reaching 6L/100km possible, auto is around 7-9L/100km

surprising rite? it was an overnite drive..... average speed around 80-90km/h....
