You're in same consideration as mine. Last time also considering fiesta and mazda 2. They're actually depends on ur preference, what kind of driving style and feels that u like.
Why i chose fiesta:
1. Nicer interior design especially the centre dashboard, looks like transformer.
2. 6 speed dual clutch, (mazda 2 only 4 speed normal auto)
3. Voice control (eventhough it's a small add, but that's what make ppl around u amaze with ur car.)
4. stability control (mazda don't have)
5. Fuel consumption better than mazda (ths is frm online survey.)
6. More silent and comfortable ride than mazda(mazda develops more road noise) Ford also got noise but the engine sound. IMO, engine sound's nice actually.
7. Free 3 years service parts and labour.
8. It's a ford, quite few ppl use ford compare to Jap cars. And it got its own WOW features and design. ppl will look at u. Or i think they're actually looking at me kot haha...

And Mazda advantage:
1. smaller design, and easy to park (according to my gf)
2. no engine sound, (road noise only)
3. Since it's mazda, i think the spare parts are cheaper n 2nd hand value better.
4. Cheaper in price compare to ford.
5. The latest mazda 2 i think got dvd player with gps rite? (i think that's a plus one).
6. some ppl claim mazda speakers better than ford ( not sure though, coz mazda got 4 speakers while ford got 6)
7. If you're upgrading from proton or other Jap cars, mazda's easier to adept on the driving style coz it's a jap car. While ford driving style, need some time to adept back. At least for me.

That's all, btw from my research online, Mazda 2 and Ford fiesta actually from the same base. Mazda shares some parts in mazda 2 with ford fiesta.

+1. Aizad said it all. Fiesta more powerful, better fc, better overall design and cheaper than mazda 2. Good enough for me... You see on d road now more n more fiesta's compared to mazda 2 already also.

I've also compared them both before buying Fiesta, the 6 speed tranny and better NVH control is the main factor I buy Fiesta. Since I've bought the sedan, I also got 7 air bags and bigger boots without sacrifice much to the handling oR ride comfort of the car. Very satisfied customer.

The 2.3L Mondeo color names are taken from the Ford AU brochure since SDAC doesn't have them (only for the Ecoboost model). So there might be colors which might not be actually available in M'sia in the past but oh well...

ya, from my survey, fiesta's better than mazda 2. unless you're comparing with mazda 3 hatchback. it's more on luxurious. btw, one of the reason i buy Fiesta's there too many Jap cars. It's time to move on to European cars. hehe..

Come on Aizad and Dias, share some pics of your ride! Get the ball rolling... =)

Very Fun with Stick Shift

How ur guy will think a F.Fiesta manual with F.Focus 2.0 duratec engine....
I have thinking with my friend to buy 1 fiesta 1.4 manual and convert the engine to Focus 2.0 duratec engine.

but the problem is where u can source the engine, and let who done this job, as you know swap engine involve alot wiring, later end up , aircon not work ,abs not work, it may cause a lot problem, better you find Bolt on turbo for 1.4 engine or swap the block and piston to 1.6 and port polish+ flash ecu, i saw taiwan motor magazine, few people done this, 140hp on manual is fun.

very ambitious, I like it

LOL..fiesta idling~

+1 Aizad02 Very well SAID!! But you forget to mention me =( LoL!! j/k =P

No problem bro,that is no isssue for me cosi have focus engine and I'm mechanic that jux repair Ford car.Jux the problem is I have to buy a Fiesta 1.4 1st. Need investor....

huaipoh, your picture is somehow mesmerising

Hi Ken, I don't think you can upgrade the engine to 2.0 as the JPJ rule only allows to enhance 20% capacity of the current engine, which means you can only go for max CC is 1.6cc, unless it would not approve by them. Maybe do it underground.

Add me to the list of Focus TDci

There's a button on the front page that leads to a Ford Focus input form.

Yeap, add your name to the list yourself if you don't mind... its on the first post (first page)
Welcome Bliz... if you don't mind, you could share some exterior/ interior shots of your ride with us. Most of us are owning a Fiesta only...

Yup u r right bro,is for Track use.....
