If you need a headcount for Ford Fiesta, I have a poll+database set up on Google Docs. Makes realtime updating easier.

Currently the Fiesta portion is going to overlap with the existing one, so might need to get clarification on this.

I can make a poll based on the following model groupings (inclusive of the buttons) but I'll need some time since it's currently peak period for me in the office. Lots of late nights as well as working over the weekends.

Ford Focus
Ford Mondeo
Ford Everest + Ranger + S-Max

A week should suffice.

Link code for Ford Fiesta as below.

So the Ford Fiesta list that is currently up can be removed. Saves space, time and also easier to transfer if we ever get to v2, v3 and so forth.

PS: I'll leave it up to you guys for the grouping. Just let me know if it is final.

Anyone here submitted to the poll with the user ID "test"? Looks more like someone made a test entry. If it's just a test entry, I'll remove it from the poll result tomorrow morning before I leave for work.

Focus Sport/ Ghia Sedan TDCi

----------------------------------------
Ford Mondeo 2.0L Ecoboost Petrol

----------------------------------------
Ford Escape XLT 2.3L 4x4
Ford Escape XLS 2.3L 4x2
Ford Everest XLT 2.5L 4x4 MT
Ford Everest XLT 2.5L 4x4 AT
Ford Everest XLT 3.0L 4x4 AT
Ford Ranger XLT Double Cab 2.5L TDCi 4x4 Manual

There is no S-Max/C-Max in the SDAC website at the moment. So I am unable to create a list for that.

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...

Most of the time I drive with the feet off the accelerator (where traffic conditions allow me to). Just let forward momentum move me on. And the Fiesta is so comfortable and quiet that I just don't get the urge to reach my destination quick, so I just cruise at below 3k RPM most of the time. People can smoke me in their modded Satria Neo or Myvi for all they like. I'm in a state of zen. XD

As long as there is zero traffic and can maintain consistent speed, it is possible. I did hit 5.96L/100KM for the period of 5/6/2011 - 18/6/2011. Distance traveled is 545.7KM on 32.526L Esso RON95 petrol. Fuelly shows it as 6.0L/100KM though due to decimal rounding.

Conditions back then was that I was working very late nights for two weeks straight (9pm - 11pm) and when going home, I used the LKSA highway onto KESAS and into ELITE. Road traffic hence was very clear. The only obstacle to truly hitting below 5.9L/100KM was the morning traffic from ELITE to NKVE (caused by backlog near the Shah Alam stadium).

I think he meant that the location of the power button is awkward to the right arm that it is easier to use the left arm for pressing the button. I use my left arm to press the button as well, or angle my body to the left.

I've called this morning to confirm Friday's pick up as promised.

but he mentioned that next wednesday because :

1. no time / busy
2. got many people take the car too

i mean, like wtf. his job is so easy, take the damned car back to office. does that take so long it will make him lose sales at the small kajang branch? how many sales he gets in 3 hours? 100 cars? ZOMG

Unless he have to drive all his clients' car back one by one? Anyway, 8 working days is pretty much what I would expect regardless of what SA says. Anything faster than that I would consider as icing on the cake.

QUOTE(Dias @ Aug 7 2011, 10:45 PM)
1.5 weeks starting from car touching down on Malaysian soil is a more reasonable time frame assuming that no delays/glitches occurs (mine was ready to be collected after 8 working days upon arriving in M'sia but did not collect immediately since I prefer to collect on a Saturday). SA might also be busy attending paperwork for other clients as well. But if 5 days really can get the car, then that'd be great.[/url]

Googling "tyre bulge" (on image mode) will give you various images as well.

Speaking of overseas, while I was at Anaheim/San Diego/Hollywood, most of the Ford marquees that I see are pickups (alongside GMC). Did see quite a number of Ford Fusions on the road as well but only two or three Ford Focus (roughly around that number when I was walking around). Taxis are the Ford Crown Victoria. Most of the private cars there are mostly Chevrolets, Mazdas, Honda Civics and Toyota Yaris. Lots of Kia as well but didn't check which model was it. Spotted 4 or 5 Chevrolet Camarros (2 yellow, 1 red and 1 silver).

Taxis in Vancouver are the Toyota Prius (different models for those needing larger vehicles though).

Guys....Can I go service my fiesta even though i haven't reach 10000km yet? Because the voucher says, maintenance interval : 10000km or 6month. I got the car for almost 6 month now but millage rite now is around 5100km. So no harm going for a maintenance service, rite?
*
It is 6 months or 10k km, whichever comes first. So it's okay to go for servicing even before clocking 10k km. Did mine at 7.8k km.

Nothing can be accurate as actual data though (i.e. actual distance driven vs amount needed to fill up till full tank).
