QUOTE(mystvearn @ Sep 30 2012, 04:07 PM) This thing is better than the autopark feature or sunroof or auto stop combined. Ford Malaysia take note. I more concern of other drivers/car who just open their door without thinking others in tight space

QUOTE(zenix @ Oct 1 2012, 12:41 AM) varies monthly? you're business owner, salesman or mlm man? the shop i went to at kepong offered me 15k discount. i see in mudah 2010 models going for 90k. think think 120 minus 15k = 105k for new car not bad what though my gf thinks the new focus is uber tech and smart looking. tdci is a roaring beast......still doing my research  new focus really nice but 200Nm is nothing compare to 320Nm (TDCI)

QUOTE(zenix @ Oct 1 2012, 01:15 AM) thats why i was thinking. coz 200nm from my current 168nm @ 1200rpm isn't quite an upgrade. with some correct mod /tunning ...u might get 15% more

QUOTE(michaelnct @ Oct 1 2012, 08:44 AM) why you need such high torque??? high torque makes u sink into your seat. for me , higher number of T , provided me more confident to drive esp during overtaking n uphills Added on October 1, 2012, 9:38 amQUOTE(simchengheng @ Oct 1 2012, 09:31 AM) actually what is the difference between output and torque? i compare new focus and tdci: new focus has higher output tdci has higher torque y does tdci 0-100 needs 9.9sec while new focus does better? does it mean new focus more powerful? i reli got confuse here.. any pros can explain to me? tdci is fuel saver. can not win any drag race.if u travel a lot then tdci suit u beside of hybrids This post has been edited by gahpadu: Oct 1 2012, 09:39 AM

QUOTE(simchengheng @ Oct 1 2012, 09:43 AM) fuel saver? really? even on disel? i still confuse.. those torque can smoke most of car in the range? y 0-100 still slower? for TDCI average fuel consumption is 5.5-6.5l/km no matter how hard to trash the paddle. U can drive at 170 km/h for hour but still got many fuel left in tank and less stress to ur engine diesel engine is different from petrol engine due to low rev characteristic . Bare in mind that the diesel engine itself more heavy compare to modern petrol engine that bring some significant performance on 0-100 wait for others for better explaination This post has been edited by gahpadu: Oct 1 2012, 10:14 AM

max torq/hp generate on the rpm stated , for new focus , u hav to tekan to that rpm to feel the max power
for city driving/normal malaysia road. tdci much more better performance coz the no need to tekan so much to feel the power
how many times u want to rev ur engine closed to red line?.I think normal driver only cruising up to 3/4rpm for daily routine drive.
so here comes the turbocharged mechanism to provide better power at low speed for petrol engine like Proton did

when to SC to collect my car yesterday.But really pissed off with how they handle the process.On Friday last week, the officer rang me and told me that my should be ready by Monday, so I took day off on tuesday and when to SC without bother to call them first. Unfortunetly , my car still not ready, still waiting for wire hardness.WTF  wasting my time . btw , I had a chance to go inside the workshop and saw one new focus stranded ,with front seat and the dashboard been taken off. Havent a chance to ask why

QUOTE(fishmango @ Oct 3 2012, 10:06 AM) hi, Ur Tdci still in the SC? Seem like SC work a bit slow.... actually SC did a good job at the first place, finished their job in only 3 weeks Adjusted found that some wire was been cut n join so the worst case happen then I hav to wait another 3 weeks for those who bought a new focus , just pray hard that nothing bad happen to ur car. I been told that there no spare part for new ranger and focus .

QUOTE(minde @ Oct 4 2012, 10:03 AM) hi im thinking of getting fiesta either sedan or the hatchback but im worrying about the after sales service from SDAC. Anyone got any bad experience with it? Also which version of the fiesta has the better AS support? Thanks! for normal interval servicing , I think u should not worry much about the SC , they are doing a great job (for me so far ). Just wonder how the want to cope with the increasing numbers of customer maybe SDAC already plans something coz last April ford will launch 6 new model (Focus/ST already launched , so maybe Kuga etc.)
