I guess the price will be nice as well  tongue.gif

was thinking,
2.0 high spec focus selling 129k
2.0 ecoboost focus ST selling 209k
adding that ecoboost need 80k extra  sweat.gif
some more ST don't have those auto park, citi stop features...

but of coz the power is ...  sweat.gif
*
u missing the point man...the 1.0 ecoboost is the replacement for the 1.6 duratec we get now...the 1.6 ecoboost is the replacement for the 2.0 duratec found in the focus here...they will cost the same....ST is a different animal...

been very very interested with the new ford focus titanium+. reading a lot of comment on it and on ford in malaysia generally. is it really hard to get spare parts for the car?
*
don't compare with toyota or honda definitely it will be harder...but I'm only driving Fiesta, I have no need to replace any parts yet so no experience...its been 2 years...but it shouldn't be VERY bad as spare parts can come from thailand

I'm aware of the free maintenance for the 1st 3 years but how about the remaining year? minor service costs how much & major service costs how much? any idea?
*
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

the front seat is okay...but the back seats i find it the fabric one (Standard Fiesta S) is way better...but still i choose Beta since i hardly have chance to bring on more than one...for family, it is not recommend
*
why are fabric seats better? the shape is the same....or u don't like the heat of leather under hot sun?

All bros

Booked 3 weeks b4 launch date,,
Collected my black FoFo Sport+ on Saturday from PJ,, i tot during the delivery the SA will explain on the car will be like for 2 hours because of the car tech,, but it took only 15 minutes, maybe its busy saturday day with customer,, because day before that, follow my sis to collect her myvi and the salesman took 1 hours to xplain about the car, but i dont mind because has been downloading the online manual and read it few times

After collect straight go to v-kool pj and install tint, they take 4 hours to install because first focus to install with them, raining whole day,, habis my new car

Soo far my complain,, this not a problem,, but my dislike function/quality
1. Dont like the front seat, the semi bucket, hard to get out, will penyek the side kulit very hard,, i doubt the kulit on the side seat will holds long
2. Dont like the auto wiper, will check how to disable it, manage to disable the ambient light, the manual is very grey on this part
3. Will also try to disable the auto ON lights after we open the doors,
4. Hate the park assist
5. The quality of the Sony speaker is not that good, doubt is a sony speaker, will further check

The good thing
The feels, the driving experince, the trip computer, the informative display, the turning light, the torque, the ford eco mode, the michellin tyre, the NVH is great

No wonder only few owner come here to share because everybody busy enjoying their rite, ussualy people come to forum to share their problem but few come to share their enjoyment, same goes to me,,, everyday on LYN and focusfanatics to prepare for any problem,, thank GOD its none so far,, only today manage to online,,

Ps.
New owner check your tire preassure, mine little bit low, front only 180psi, back 195psi, i top it up till 230psi front and back
*
i think they can be disabled...surely they can...hate park assist just don't use it then...lol....sony speaker is sony speaker....but as car speakers go....stock systems are usually not that good...even dynaudio in some VWs are not as good as they ought to be

Went to take a look at the focus yesterday and i have to say the spec list is impressive.Loved the sedan but would have preferred if it came wot the hatchbacks Black interior.But im just curious, for the active city stop thingy, how does it differentiate between an impending collision and your attempt to park as close as u can to a wall in a tight parking spot?

Didnt have a testdrive unit but was also wondering if the movable fin upfront is available For the malaysian specs?he salesman didnt seem To have a clue what i was talking about
*
if u talking about active shutter grille yes it does come with that...it's advertised in the brochures...

This feature could protect us from hitting the front car, how about the car behind you? if the car happened to be quite short distance.....BANG!!! sweat.gif

of course it won't protect u from hitting car behind u...u suppose to look behind when reversing anyway....and if the car behind u going too fast to stop crashing into u....we can't expect the car to auto move forwards? biggrin.gif What if it will actually auto-move forwards to prevent rear collision? If there is another car in front of u and the car behind is getting too close, your car move forwards bang the front car..worse

Ford Recalls 150,000 Escapes

Refer to the pic, it is Kuga in Malaysia, does it affected our Kuga here in Malaysia?

i think escapes are built in different plant....escape in USA and malaysian KUGA built in spain
