My loan agreement is ready, but I'll only sign it when my car is here.

Manager of SDAC PJ just texted me.

He said if all goes well, my car should arrive mid-April.

Wish I could buy Fofo now. I did asked the SA during my recent test drive. So far, it is pretty much confirmed that 2013 stocks will have increased prices. How much? Not sure yet. Plus he could only give me the "default" RM2500 discount for 2012 stocks.
*
Increased price? Any source?

Was never told of this and I just spoke to SDAC PJ's manager and he didn't mention anything about it.

I don't have any source for you guys but someone did mention about this in previous posts. So I just happen to

remember about it, and decided to ask the SA at my local branch. He agreed and said the prices might increase "a little

bit". Dont know how much though. Have to wait and see then. Just take it with a pinch of salt. Might just be another

way to get customers to buy the 2012 stocks off their warehouse or something.  laugh.gif

i think since you have sign your loan , there nothing to worry about. right?
let hope that the price would not increase be4 the bank approve my loan.
*
Ok just spoke to someone in Ford. It's not finalised yet but the price might increase about RM2k because the demand is very high.

He also said that they will honour the booking, once you book then you'll get it at the previous price.

I guess everything is just preliminary right now, nothing concrete about price increment yet.

Great news on the high demand. Hope that would mean better service by Ford (most spare parts are available without having to wait for too long, reasonable price for parts too etc.). This should, hopefully, translate into even better models arriving in Malaysia, same as the likes of Kia. Better choices for us as well.

What's stopping you from getting the Focus, by the way?

Well apart from financial, I am waiting for new Mazda M3, Kia K3 and perhaps the new Honda facelift Civic. All should be within the same price brackets. Perhaps, there would be changes as well after GE, depending on who actually won I think. A few factors at least, but if I am able to buy today, I would choose Fofo over current choices from other makes.
*
By the time the M3 or K3 comes out, there will be newer models out there again. It's a never-ending cycle.

I say, just go for what you love right now and don't look back. The Focus is currently the best car you can get for the price range.

Hahaha I'm going for the more understated kinda colour, Midnight Sky.

Hardly see that colour on the road, so far only one Titanium+ around my office area is in that shade. Kinda unique, I guess?

For the current Focus owners, may I ask if the + versions come with scuff plates at the door?

Sorry, I didn't really look through the car during my test drive. Only now when I'm waiting for my car to arrive these thoughts pop into my head haha.

the ford kuga is bound to be launched soon with 1.6 ecoboost. if the focus going to be offered the same power plant, that would be very nice isn't?

Then the Ford Focus ST won't sell.

I'd like to think that the Ford Focus to the Focus ST is like how the Golf is to the Golf GTI.

The Focus is challenging the Golf MK6/7.

I can hardly pinpoint what does the Golf has which the Focus doesn't, except for the twincharged engine.

Actually I buy it for my wife. Initially thought of new civic 2.0 after a quite impressive test drive, but after tested focus, civic can go far far and play. I would say it's our first ford car. My wife prefers sedan due to bigger boot space. If for myself, sport+ lah.

My mum is still driving the first generation Ford Focus, a brilliant car with superb handling. You and your wife won't regret it.

Have fun with it!

Most car with automatic clutches, be it single clutch or dual clutch, will jerk. Its a matter of how badly it jerks only.

So it stands to reason that if the DSG jerks, so will the Powershift.
*
It's ok to say that most cars equipped with automatic clutches jerk.

But it's weird to say just because VW cars jerk, so will Ford. I see no relevance in that.

Referring to the poster above you.

Currently rated as Advance Eco Driver by the car since I'm going very gently on the pedal for the first 1,000km.

I booked mine around mid-March and will only arrive mid-April. Hopefully the SA not pulling my leg.
