It doesn't look too bad for me.


The lights look like the one on Audi.

Well im a Toyota fan. But the 2012 Camry was a real disappointment in terms of design. But i think its gonna be a longer wait for we get the Camry since its gonna be CKD Malaysia.

Hows the feedback from other Peugeot owners about the after sales service? I thought Nasim was doing a better job than Sime Darby. Can someone clarify?

3 cars depends on your preferences...power and fun of course mondeo....comfort peugeot or passat...passat has more premium badge....but if u looking for a big practicle family car....u forgot one car that beats all these 3 cars in terms of usability, space and comfort....the skoda superb...same engine as passat..less than 10k more...very innovative package...hidden umbrellas in rear doors...legroom comparable to s-class, 7 series (passat legroom is small in comparison)

that day i first time c mondeo on the road..alamak, i dont feel nice also especially the rear light sebijik macam fiesta sedan

wonder y ppl always recommend mondeo?bcoz of the look or the spec?

Sonata leh?

Fiesta sedan rear light was designed to look like a mini-Mondeo.


Anyway...

Today visited both VW PUG showroom in 222 & Glenmarie, to me in term of outlook and interior design, features, I personally feel 508 is much better and refine. Therefore, my vote for 508!

funny, although most people voted for Mondeo, and many people out there will probably cheer about how good Mondeo is, but it doesn't translate into real sales figures in Malaysia.....

how often we see a Mondeo on the road? in KL, probably less often than seeing a Ferrari or a Porsche...

wondering why many people persuade other to venture into a particular car brand/model and when they themselves need a car, they get something else.....

Have you test drive it yet?
If not, go for a test drive.

Few reasons.

Segment-D car is dominated by T & H. You can see a lot of people still thought Focus Mondeo is an American car. Some even thought they are Japanese (affiliated with Mazda).

Few people prefer continental. They are scared of high petrol consumption and maintenance cost.
Higher petrol consumption? No. My Ford is running more economical than my previous Toyota Altis.
Higher maintenance cost? Yes. Mainly parts. Rare parts hence higher cost. Supply and demand determined.

Sime Darby sucks big time in promoting Ford cars (they only started doing it since Fiesta).
Have you seen SD aggressively promoting Mondeo on TV & printed media?
What about promotional activities for Ford Focus TDCI? SD is sleeping all the time.

I still remember the older Mondeo was selling like MYR160K++.
It was a very good price. Full import CBU from Belgium. What more can you ask?

Ford is a very good continental car.
They are really a torque king. Those who have owned one know how good it is.

you are so right, there is only 1 mondeo in penang(including mainland), and its white colour.

i can see more panamera than mondeo in msia esp old klang road.

yup, and you do not need to explain to your neighbour why you made that choice, lol

None really can afford them, there name carries no prestige, after sales service is generally known to be bad, and te new fad is to be seen in a VW, plus ford passenger cars were only recently reintroduced into malaysia.

The Fiesta however is doing very well

The Fiesta was doing good because there are promotional activities.

Ford passenger cars have always been here.
Remember the old Ford Focus 1.8? That was still a very good solid car.

You, for one, thought Ford passenger car was recently introduced - is the proof of failure of Sime Darby.
Well, Sime Darby just don't give a darn care anyway.

exactly zero brand recognition.

besides that if you i drive a ford mondeo, people ask 'what is that?', you drive a VW or jap, wah you are doing well friend.

the 508 looks really impressive.....

+1

not interested with the look..most important no money..lol

when i got my Fiesta, everyone kept asking "y u no buy vios? y u no buy city? y u no buy inspira?"
i just smile and didnt even bother explaining. now i laugh hysterically when i smoke a vios, city or inspira on the road. muhahahahaha!
