5K for the new Ford Focus? which SA is it?

i think he meant fiesta

they have increased to 5 years 200,000 i think....don't worry...u worried about resale value? buy civic...definitely focus resale value will not be as good as civic...but then...it will not be bad too...don't stick to old ideas...the seniors will tell u to buy toyota n honda simply because back in their days the resale value is much better...however, ford is expanding very rapidly in malaysia, proof? the number of fiestas on the road, resale values increase along with demand...with such high demand for ford cars...the resale value will no doubt increase

yeah its one of those things that help you when you momentarily lost focus.

really very hard to choose .
Fiesta 1.4 manual or 1.6 Sport ??100% city drive , PJ to KL av weekday working hour.
Original plan was 1.4 , but after think think and calculate, 1 month pay more hundred plus to  get 1.6 sport. which worth leh ?

     

When driving in rain, makes the car look sexier. 

The dual clutch sound i think,, very jerk and loud esspecially during 1st to 2nd,, last few days got someone give link to Focus Msia FB link on the nature of the gb,, search youtube got also

Yup i stop because my right foot pain,, macam need a foot massage

Yup hehehe

dual clutch sure will "experience" that? 
will that be annoying? 
will it disappear after sometimes? 

Powershift transmission common sounds a driver may notice are:

• Double clicking metal sounds. These noises can likely be heard while driving on very smooth surfaces during a 1-2 upshift or a 3-2-1coast down. The sounds occur with every gear engagement, but generally cannot be heard over the background engine, road and wind noises at higher speeds. Most noticeable if the windows are down and the radio is off, these sounds are of the shift forks moving and the synchronizers engaging a gear (similar to a manual transmission). These shifting sounds are part of normal operation.

• Coast down whine. A slight gear whine while slowing or coasting is normal.

• Clicking sounds after the engine is turned off. As the vehicle is powered down, the transmission will cycle the clutches to the released position so it is ready for a safe restart of the engine. This is part of normal operation. Clicking sounds from the transmission immediately after the engine is turned off are normal.

• Low speed grinding. A slight grinding noise may be heard at about 2 MPH. This noise is more evident during “trailer-hitching” events (see below). This noise is caused by a normal bearing rotation and does not affect the durability of the transmission.

• Reverse gear whine. Some PowerShift transmissions will exhibit gear whine in reverse. The level of whine has been significantly reduced in later build vehicles, but can still be detected to some level. This is characteristic of many manual transmissions, and is not a defect or a situation in which a repair should be attempted.

• Trailer-hitching feel. Some customers may experience a trailer-hitching feel (or a slight bumping feel). The trailer-hitching feel may occur in lower forward gears – particularly if the customer is off and on the throttle quickly. It may be more noticeably in a parking lot or when a customer is doing multiple on/off throttle pedal maneuvers. This trailer-hitching/engagement feel is a normal characteristic of the dry clutch-equipped manual transmission design. Conversely, conventional automatic transmissions are equipped with a torque converter. The torque converter is a fluid coupling device which dampens these positive engagements feels.

To be honest i experiencing all above Nature / Characteristic / Behavior on my Focus 

Thats mean I have real Dual Clutch Gearbox hehehe

hi bros. i'm deciding to get a 1.4 manual Fiesta for my wife. wondering if the double clutch issue that was brought up happen to this model too or not. any promotion happening now that anyone can share? thanks

Just tested the Ford Fiesta 1.6 auto today at Jln Ipoh. Ride comfort is decent but the car is slowwwww. No omph when accelerating and the so called double clutch gearbox just feels like any ordinary gearbox.

hey bro. dont mean to offend any fiesta owners here. Its just didnt deliver to my expectations. As for the Fiesta's dual clutch i was comparing with the VW's DSG while the 1.6MPI Polo sedan felt more responsive and tourqy than the Fiesta's 1.6 engine. Other than that, i guess its a decent car to drive.

bros.. today i heard 1 very sad news.. 1 ford SA told me TDCi sedan out of stock, and TDCi sport black too.. left limited TDCi sports white.. is it true? my planning next year CNY when get my bonus buy TDCi sports black to enjoy my suppose-be-best-CNY-ever-with-beloved-TDCi... anyone got info on this TDCi stock thingy?

Its the show car lol not my car, i dont own focus.

All three i look in boot and spare tyre compartment. But i didnt check under the spare tyre, i dont want to force the SA to dismantle the securing arrangement
So it might be there.

I noticed my FoFo is abit hard to control at low gear... rpm always at around 1.5-2 whenever I'm going like 5-20km and at times the car jerks, or suddenly accelerates fast. Instantaneous fuel consumption shows around 20-30l/100km even sometimes when I'm not even pressing the pedal

Kinda worries me, not sure if it's because the car is still new (around 1000 km, not yet serviced for the first time)

lol means it's something normal

how about the engine...is this new ecoboost engine will coming to msia?...is it worth to wait this new facelift with new engine or just grab the current one....

Would FoFi rolled backward, when the brake is released on an incline?
