Price increase becoz of weakening of RM

Good news for existing owners, rite?

yes, confirm will increase ... already get official memo

Slight wind noise from the side windscreen of the Focus at speeds of 100km/h. Wind noise becomes louder at around 130 to 140km/h. 90km/h no wind noise. Anybody experienced the same?

The wind noise of the Focus is worse than my previous Nissan Sylphy which is quiet up to 140km/h. Not really a major issue as average traveling speeds is usually 90km/h to 120km/h on the highways. I am just wondering if anybody had managed to have this wind issue improved at the service centre. When I owned the Nissan Sylphy, the guys managed to reduce the wind noise by adjusting the rubber around the perimeter of the door frame and sticking small pieces of rubber at certain areas.

As for the RM1k price increase of the Focus, personally I feel the Focus is still great value at this price. It's quite negligible after the loan amount is spread out to monthly basis. The moment your loan is approved and the car is yours, you have already lost RM20k on the spot already. In this sense, RM1k is nothing.

so sad.. now no budget

Im in consideration to buy ford focus 2.0 sport. I alrdy think abt few month ago. Any owner can give me some comment abt this car??? Thx for your advise.

nvm , wait till you budget you give me a pm lor

need how long to register ford focus after signing loan and settle downpayment?

viniymay,

Check out SportyHandling's recent summary of his/(her?) experience (although I think the model chosen was a Titanium sedan); it reflects the opinion of a large number of us owners/drivers.

Best if you go and test-drive it....your considerations/priorities may differ from others.

haha..when me got budget maybe mk4 exist already..
that time if you still work in this field i will find u

been driving titanium over 6months with 20k milage...so far so good...but my midnight sky make my car easily dirty

currently, i am planning for car tint and come across the term VLT%

so, in order to meet JPJ requirement, we must have VLT% more than 50% for side and more than 70% for windscreen?

need some expert to help for this

i has been working in car line for 6yr++ , and i am still 3x years old only ...
still able to work another 20years more
Hopefully at that time LYN still available lor

JPJ you need 50%++ for side . 70%++ for windscreen ,
for puspakom , 90% also will consider fail ( sometime depend on luck)


most of the tint in market is JPJ compliance , unless that's some tint is very dark and the shop will tell you that is illegal .pm me your budget i can recommend you some tint

Yes, that is correct in theory, but in real-life practice, it is not as simple as that. Since all windscreens do not come in VLT100%, some VLT90%, some VLT80% etc., even if the tint itself is VLT70%, after installation the windscreen may register a VLT of 60% or lower. Similarly, for a tint that is VLT50%, after installation the windscreen may end up with VLT35%.

In summary, most tints that comply to JPJ requirements, after these tints are installed to your vehicle's windscreen, if it goes through Puspakom inspection, chances are likely that it will fail the test. The normal practice is to choose a tint that does not look to dark (in real life) so as the police or JPJ guys will not stop you when you ard driving on the roads. The risk will be lower with tints that have lighter shades, higher with tints that have darker shades.

More important is to check with tint installer whether they provide JPJ warranty in the event you get stopped by the police or JPJ. Some tint dealers/installers provide up to 5-years JPJ warranty(Smart Window/Huper Optik provides this). In the event you get into trouble with the police or JPJ within 5 years, they will settle for you. Only for select tints above VLT42%. Those below 40% that are deemed as too dark for side windscreens, JPJ warranty coverage is not provided.

You want to play safe just choose within VLT50% for sides and 70% for fronts even though they will still fail the test at Puspakom. With lower VLT figures, usually you will gain better heat rejection with higher TSER figures, generally. That is why most people choose darker tints (higher TSER) to have better heat rejection.

we are on the same boat man.. i'm currently looking into 3m products... lelong and some members here in lowyat selling.. but not decided what type to try out to be effective. i beleive right type at the right place can do the trick to reduce the wind noise. let share out what can be done.

oh yes the color is beautiful when clean but looks like dirt ugly as the dust and water dry marks so easily visible.
