Go Sime Darby Auto Connexion PJ... ask them around.
Probably got one or two units left.

Awesome car.

Just got the car 'sunat' last Thursday... damn can keep up with Mini Cooper S. I can't imagine how the performance will be after K&N, Mountune Airbox and remap. All mods below RM 4,000 total. Probably can go on par with Golf GTi??

turbo diesel always has its limitation as it has lower "max rpm".. Ford TDCi max at 6000rpm and redline at 4000rpm..
dont think its 138hp can go against Golf GTi's 210hp.. dont think it can keep up with Golf Tsi also for century sprint.. (6 speed powrshift vs 7 speed DSG)

but its a great car emphasizing on fuel economy without sacrificing comfort and performance... 300Nm torque is great fun.. nod.gif

LOL.. I meant TSI..  laugh.gif  laugh.gif  laugh.gif 

Can keep up with TSi already makes me feel satisfied hahahaa...  blush.gif  blush.gif
I've tried a FD2 and Camry... I felt like this car is much more comfortable in high speed. 150 - 160km/h felt like doing 110km/h only. Camry and FD2 doesn't have this kind of feeling. Maybe this is what they meant by 'continental feeling'? tongue.gif

Ford is better in terms of handling in any where else in the world, even better than VW and Peugeot when tackling corners.. Japs cars are slightly inferior compare to conti except some of its performance car,,

Slightly inferior only?  hmm.gif

Most Jap D segments like Camry, Accord and Teana are tuned for comfort not handling. European makes on the other hand are tuned for handling and most also have adaptive suspension.

true that japs cars are tuned more for comfort.. but still pretty impressed with european makers that can strike a balance between comfort and handling.. like you said, most having adaptive suspension...

320Nm at 2,000 rpm, is there misprint at the brochure for the sprint to 100km/hr at 9.9s??

A lot of factors that influence the century sprint.. torque, transmission, max RPM, power to weight ratio..
turbo diesel is usually limited with lower RPM..
