151 WHP / 191 Nm for MK3 drool.gif  ....quite impressive for direct injection car

I think it's 170hp / 202Nm.

whp thats the real power you get on the wheels, WHP = wheel horse power meassured by dyno.

170/202 is engine power, some of the power already dissipated before it reached your wheels. Same with all cars but different transmission will have different power loss figure and dual clutch have way better power delivery from torque converter.

Manual transmission have the least power loss.

hai... good day all...
looking at options to replace my current car...
interested to find out whether focus suits as a family car...?
compared to civic and altis, kia k5 or any other make...
family consist of parents and 2 kids.  sweat.gif  sweat.gif  sweat.gif

ford focus could works as family car, just that it will be cramped on the rear seat.
japanese and korea car had more spacious rear seat.

why dont you bring your kids to see the car together; set the driver seat to your comfort driving position and ask them if they could accept the space left brows.gif

This is madness, maybe he already filled up his sales quota for this quarter of the year so he saving your booking for the next quarter to maintain his sales figure. Maybe you should start asking other sc if they got better offer

Hey dude, just want to ask. The DRLs you installed, do they come in just the strips of lights or does it come with the triangle black panel as well?

Does it void the warranty?
*
It comes as fixed part together with the triangle, keep the original triangle and you could fit it back like it have never been modded.

It is pretty much plug n play, no wire were slit nor any screws or bolt removed. Everything could be restored back.

Well we'll see about that when the time comes tongue.gif

I've asked this to my SA before, and he said he dont mind about modifying as long as nothing goes wrong. But if thing goes wrong everything needs to be revert to original condition before going to claim warranty since they will be taking pictures and stuff

there are still 2012 fofo available? didnt know that... which dealer? thks, i give a call.

2013 Golf TSI is a superb car. Brilliant media system, top notch interior fit and finish, smooth TSI engine coupled with silky smooth DSG changes.

But frankly, its not worth RM35k more then a Sport+ Focus. The focus wins with much larger boot, arguably better looking, nicer selection of colours, and alot higher spec level.

Im looking for a car to replace my 2009 FoFo. The cars in my test list were

Subaru XV
CX-5
Ford Focus
Golf TSI

After testing all, the 2013 Fofo is still no.1 choice, only 1 car left to test, the upcoming Ford Kuga, once thats tested it will just be a choice between Kuga or Focus  biggrin.gif
*
wow,

im impressed, just impressed that Ford Focus could actually win against full spec Golf TSi which is worlds car of the year eventhough it is just personal opinion. not to mention ford focus in our market have been stripped off much of the spec enjoyed by other region.

but i must agree rm35k does not justify all the things that golf have over focus.

You misunderstood me bro,

Fofo is indeed well spec but compared tu our euro spec fofo, there are many that have been slashed out cry.gif

And you actually compared asean spec fofo against Golf which is pretty much the same spec in the europe, and still you give winning point to fofo. Im impressed and respect you for that bro notworthy.gif

Imagine if full spec fofo like those in europe offered here rclxm9.gif

Anyone knows that 2014 Focus will be arrived in Malaysia? Will it be this year?

The current focus mk3 was launched in 2010, and only reach our shore in 2012, well maybe you could make your own deduction from that. icon_rolleyes.gif

Unless ford in malaysia stand as its own brand like volkswagen, the chance to see any new model reach our shore as soon as it launch is not that big. hmm.gif

Seeing the launching of new Kuga maybe we could pray and hope. thumbup.gif

But then our supply of focus is coming from Thailand plant, so we wont be getting them until Thailand plant start producing them sweat.gif

Bro, do u know the exact address of the said workshop? Heard it is just the opposite road of Jusco Kepong, is it not? smile.gif

Not directly opposite, but nearby.
Dont remember clearly, since traffic is damn heavy i didnt have time to look around sweat.gif

The address is on that page, i copied and paste them in waze and ended right in front of the shop icon_rolleyes.gif

Items may not be ready stock, but if you just want to see the fitting and function maybe he can show his car; he put on everything on his fofo. thumbup.gif

Peoploids,

Much-anticipated FoFo Titanium to touch down next week .... am seriously considering putting in DRLs...

Can anyone suggest a shop that sells/installs DRLs that are:

- reasonably priced
- good quality
- won't void our warranty when installed?

TIA!

Hello Guys,

I am new here. I am considering (tough to decide) whether to get ford focus or civic.
Any ford focus owner from melaka? is the after sales service ok for Melaka?
Mind give me recommendation or suggestion?

and my bro also considering second hand ford focus. He searches through Mudah and found that the 2nd hand value for Focus was horrible (don't mind about that). The big question , is Ford focus a reliable car? Can anyone help us with it?

Thanks

Reliability issue you might want to ask those have driven ford for years

Of course people went to official page to complaint and condemn.

For compliment, tips and troubleshooting you should look for fans club; you will find group of satisfied owner. Beware tho, the poison might be too strong smile.gif

Go to international forum such as focus fanatics, there is thousand of testimonies, troubleshooting, tips and complaints there. Could convince you ar break you apart either way

Malaysian ford owner clubs welcome future-owner, enthusiasist, fans or the curious to join

Tint done by the SA doesnt guarantee it will be good on the workmanship. Ive seen car on the showroom side waiting for the owner to pickup with the tint already peeling off in some corner.

My SA only offer me two local unknown brand tint so i refuse it without even checking the deal. Went to tint at a shop that confessed never seen focus mk3 before, but they did a good job.
