I also got this low gear jerk, need to go check with SC in my first 10k service >.<"

what kind of annoying sounds?

I went to the Trio Mantap Taman Midah, Cheras, service quite okay, but very dusty as there's MRT construction nearby...

Not sure how to elaborate. Tomorrow try to listen more carefully.
When u cold start u dont hear any sound for the 1st 10-20second?
The sound is very different from the sound when engine is idle.

I just pumped in RON97 recently. Instead of RM90+ with a full tank of RON95, I was getting RM120+ with RON97. Even if RON97 gives better mileage, I don't think it will be affordable to use RON97 with the difference in pricing between RON95 and RON97. However, power feels great!

Hi guys,
Been reading thru the whole 119 pages. I have been eyeing the FoFo for some time now.
Finally ordered one Candy Red but dealer said no stock in hand and will search after my bank loan approved. Loan has since approved since Xmas.
Waiting is a drag! But I dun think he can get the colour I wanted cos two other dealers in two different states said no more red in Malaysia.
Waiting for the sad day to cancel my order. Was really hoping to be part of this group by New Year.
IMO, for such an exciting car, Ford sure is limiting themselves by offering mostly white and silver colour, which is everywhere! My guess is only exciting people buy exciting car, or we'll all stick with white Toyotas!

if you really love the car, just wait a bit longer, it's worth waiting.

119 pages, what's the max page in low yat? 120 pages? time for a new thread

125 pages or 2,500 posts

Hi, I m new owner for fofo n also noticed grinding sound when driving in between 20-40 kph. Is this normal?

Cancel the order and get from branch instead? They normally has stock on hand. I think.

Anyway to upload into video?

I suggest to have these in the new thread

FoFo color code by bro grayfoxmy in post #2281

Hi all,

Just dropped by to take a look at the Fofo titanium...it's really beautiful...I haven't test driven the car cos I was rushing...

Currently I m on a vios...I m just concern that the rear seats are a little narrow on leg space...apart from that the interior n exterior are really good...

Will do the test drive maybe next week or so...meanwhile, went thru 119 pages of comments...phewwww....

Would u guys recommend a hatchback or a sedan? Is there a new 2014 model coming out?

Overall, I know it's stupid to ask, but I'll ask again, is this car worth every penny (just wanna convince myself further)? Hehe...hope to hear from you all

Thanks

U mean SDAC? Think that's the 1st place they'll check. Thanks for the suggestion BTW.

hi guys. happy new year!

been reading some of the most recent comment and i would like to suggest that in the future, we should make a common FAQ at the 2nd post of a new thread. some of the questions asked are repetitive and i believe the FAQ will be good for new as well as potential owners to have a read.

most common i would say is about the jerking issue which is very very common among new owners. other issue might be added into the FAQ as and when necessary.

i would also suggest to include the Driven video link on the episode of Civic VS Cerato VS Focus for everybody to view.

Hi coconutzz,

The greatest appeal for the Ford Focus is that it is definitely a driver's car.... if you enjoy driving, having a pretty powerful engine with torque sprinkled liberally everywhere, a transmission that is closer to a manual than an auto, extremely good handling characteristics... in the opinion of all FoFo owners, there is NOTHING better in this price range or even an extra 30% of the cost.

You MUST test drive it. In fact, if you are crazy like me, go for a couple of test drives at different dealerships... heh heh....

If you are comparing legroom with a Vios, then I think you should not worry; it should still be more. Of course don't la compare with a D-segment car.

As for whether to choose a hatch or a sedan, that is a simple choice... what do you want and what do you need? If you like the sporty look and the absolute pinnacle of performance, then the hatch la. If you need the boot space, the extra luxury of full leather seats (powered driver's somemore) and can give up some handling performance, then the Titanium la. Thankfully the price is identical for this car.

2014 model ....nothing announced here yet. If anything it will just be a facelift, methinks.

If you bothered to go through the 119 pages of comments, I would think you are making this decision with both eyes open, with very realistic expectations. This is NOT a perfect vehicle; but most of us owners have not regretted making this choice.

I for one still have elevated heartrates each and every time i look at the car and even more when I get in and drive it!

Thanks bro . Very detailed info....btw do you guys think there any used one for sale? Found one 2012 black on mudah...rang them few mins back n it's sold....haiiih

Oh I see, it's drawing near, anyone willing to take up the responsible? I'll pass cause I think I hardly have time to maintain it.

Sad to say, yes, it's pretty normal

I was driving the Vios before this as well, it's a full upgrade I would say, from the exterior to the interior, the rear seat space are some what similar if not better compared to the Vios. Wait till you get to test drive it, my first impression was "Wow", I even requested for another round just before we went back to the show room

As for Hatchback or Sedan, it's up to individual, the boot space not so important to me and I wanted a sportier drive and look so it's a hatchback for me

I don't think there'll be any new model or even facelift in 2014, not in Malaysia at least, considering it was only on sale for about 1 year+ in the boleh land, if lucky, we would get the face lift this year end maybe...

For me, this car worth every penny I spent on it, the list of premium features which some of it, you can only found in luxury D segment car, and the high tech stuffs which you hardly get in a Japanese made, of course the more features you have, the more chances it'll get spoilt and more costly to maintain it, no such things as perfect car, not in this world

Happy New Year to you too, yeah, good suggestion, maybe we can add in some reviews link (especially those write up on DCT) in the front page as well to help people learn more about this fantastic car.

Very well said bro, couldn't agreed more

It's quite a new car, so I think should have but not much.

Check other dealer like Trio Mantap, fastest to get car as I know, my friend got it in less than 3 weeks from the booking date.

The lesser used on sale means it is really a good car
No people wan to let go such a charm

Not sure if the cash rebate promo is still on.
If it is, get new instead:
Interest is lower
U get to choose the color u want
U get the peace of mind not worrying the car condition

Hi 0304125, i ordered mine from Trio Mantap. They only have white & silver on hand. If it's these two colours, should get it quite fast, which unfortunately is not the colour I ordered. Thanks anyway.

Think chances to become part of this group is slim. May go for my 2nd choice instead, the new Mazda3, if I have to wait anyway. Another gorgeous car with good handling. 2014 has plethora of new C-segment cars line-up, especially Japs. Ford will see a challenging year to move its C-segment. The Focus is still niche here where T & H are still revered, I dun know, for their 'kosong'ness?

Check out Paul Tan's driven of Focus, Cerato and Civic shootout. Civic selling at>RM136K with manual aircond, lightings and Ah Bengs on the street still go googly-eyed over this car . Although I do find the exterior looks good though.

Saw from other car sites the Focus FL would look like the electric one, with the Aston Martin-ed nose, possibly new rear lamp cluster and centre console buttons.
How do you guys find the often panned centre console button complications?

My FoFo grinding sound is very frequent and the jerking is getting from bad to worse. Closing to 18k km now been browsing US Ford forum and seems equally bad over there with no solution.
