Dear bro,
I can't compute your short term for fi n na.could u clarify?
Fofo,I can compute but not nvh...

New fofo is superb!
*
I think....

FI = forced induction; here referring to vw's tsi engine a turbocharged
NA= naturally aspirated; referring to fofo ti-vct engine, pretty much "normal" engine
NVH= noise, vibration, harshness; the comfort level of the car

I could only say please test drive both, as much as i love fofo lots of people complaint about the space.
Tho i have no problem with space, im a small guy.

Jetta looks very simple, and the interior looks dated to

Tq..

Already tested both car..I can say jetta space is bigger then fofo...soon to have baby..still fofo can fit..just jetta interior looks v v simple n it's black while fofo brown color...technology wise I think fofo gives extra..confuse which to take...
*
Seem like youre already inclined to fofo.
Then you might try to consider things like distance to each service center, the quality of service or workmanship.
How about aftersales service offered.


But Brown? Which part? I think new fofo titanium interior is cream white isnt it?

I have the same FC like this too. Honestly it is really a good car to drive! Any sifu know where to do the body kits for the new focus? biggrin.gif

Too bad even search on the net does not return much result on focus mk3 cosmetics. Most were only one-off projects and DIYs.

My sister visited kuantan showroom ystrday, the salesman give her 4k discount ford focus sport.. Ok?

That should be reasonable considering last month getting even 1k rebate is hard

Really? Too bad le...tot want to install skirting for the back and do some painting for the rims. Anyway, what about tom Sticker? My SA tell me that it is nice with the sticker too.
*
Toms sticker should be good place to do that. Btw what is the colour of your fofo? Sport+? Mind putting on some pics of your ride?


There are Zetec S bodykit, but its UK's exclusive so far. Featuring honeycomb front grill and rear diffuser. Surely going to cost a fortune to ship it here

Really?then we have to wait for while and believe it will come soon. Hope can have the ST back installed at my FoFo laugh.gif Mine is just low spec ver and black colour..will post it tmr but havent do the tinted yet. Any recommendation?
*
Will depend on your budget, highest spec on paper is 3M and V-kool, but the price is high too. 3M crystalline series is soo good it block smart-tag signal. Ive yet to found fair comment which is better, but i think i see more comment convert from vkool to 3m then 3m to vkool.

How do you plan to paint your rim? Normal paintwork will peel off in no time.

I have a shop quoted me RM 700 and the tinted used is  called Sahara X which also come with 7 years warranty. The price is attractive but the only thing bother me is the warranty is only covered by the shop itself. I went to Tom sticker today and found that the ford standard 2 stripe design cost at least RM 600 ans was told tt they will help you to design if you want.

By the way, mayb we could use the sticker on the rims instead of painting..lol drool.gif
*
Sahara X? Never heard lol. Not that homebrand are terribly bad, but with unknown name you got unknown QC. 7 years is ok but youre doomed if you got to go claim warranty every month along the 7 years due to poor workmanship. Lol if just regular stripe toms sticker price is not worth it, toms sticker got line up of cool designs. Getting your own design will be awesome but the price will be aweful.

Go search youtube for "plastidip rim", if that thing easily found here ill do it myself icon_rolleyes.gif

Id like to ask focus sport owner what you guys experience with the "sport suspension"? Is it stiff, or is it too comfort to be called sport suspension. Is it even different with titanium suspension?

And i wonder about the sunroof. Will smart tag works if you place it flat on the sunroof shade or if you just hold it flat to the glass with your hand while passing the toll booth?

I think its not problem of scratching, but thicker tint film will be heavier and put more burden on the power window motor, thus will reduce the motor life.

You could try holding sample of normal film and security film, you feel the different of weight
