TDCI is of course better la.. depends on what kind of driver u are.. speed demons will opt for TDCI.. anyways have u drove/test driven the two? if not then go and experience it yourself.. both are very different from the other.. BTW im not sure if the TDCI got stock anymore.. those not sold yet is the last batch..

Ideally? The all new focus with TDCI or Ecoboost.. which wont happen for quite some time..
*
you right...speed demons dont care must about the goodies ..they only care on the performance/power + handling only.

Hi there.any new owners care to share your  view on your new ride?any problems so far?how is the 6speed dct?anyone manage to get the maintenance cost after60k?

Went to ford pj last weekend.they are currently offering 7k discount for titanium 2012 but only white and dark blue only.having a hard time deciding between mazda 3 and focus..
*
I think 7k for 2012 car is not worth esp for cold car.

what make u had a hard time to decide?

after 1.5 years owned a mazda 3 , I switched to focus.... the performance and driving exp away better than mazda

Well ford in general does not have very good reputation in terms of reliability but no doubt It has  the best in terms of handling.tested both and i feel that the mk3 focus is definitely more refined..just worried about the untested 6speed dct whereas m3 has been around for some time and there is no major issues with car although it doesnt offer the latest tech available..

I will be using the car for the next 5 years and i travel average 30k km per year..so reliability is very important to me..

So the dilemma is between an older but tested car vs a newer but untested one..would be grateful is anyone can share their exp
*
first gen tdci using the same gear box (6 dct) and most of the owner already traveled more than 100k km.Most of tdci owner are heavy footed and some of them even tuned the engine up to 400Nm and the gear box having problem free.

most of them recommended to service the gear box at least half of the stated in service manual (for spirited driver) due to the different climate in our beloved country.

Don't worry to much , u hav 5 year warranty rite?

7k discount is little ? mind to share how much disc you getting ?
and how to determine cold, worm and hot car ?
I am new here .......
*
i got 20k discount for 2010 car when I bought my car during Mei 2011

IMHO:

hot car= hot among theft , toyota , honda , good resale value

cold car = not good resale value , even u left the key inside the car , theft may be took of for joy ride only

never across a warm car

Isnt the previous tdci running on 6speed torque converter?
And how much does it cost to service the gearbox?isnt it a dry clutch that does not require oil change?
*
tdci not using torque converter and it using wet clutch( cost around rm1200 )

mk3 using powershift too right? wet or dry?

Wah 220?the new fofo top speed only 207..

tuning kit + K&N+ sunat+kangkang+ cold temp = increase the performance hence top speed

Since u have experience with petrol and diesel, how is the maintenance like in terms of cost and interval?any additional care for diesel?
*
interval service is same for petrol n diesel (10k )

My next service is 60k and still FOC so I hav no idea

rough idea up to 60k for both variant:

petrol rm3705 (Mazda)
diesel rm3950

it is highly recommended to service the diesel every 5k instead of 5k , so another rm450 must be allocated esp if u re always stuck in the jam.

just prepare around RM6k-7k /per 100k km

ECOBOOST!!

the reason why ecoboost won multiple engine award
skip to 14:05 for review
and behold the showdown of 1.0 vs 1.6 ecoboost flex.gif


fifth gear season 21 ep 7

the term "no replacement for displacement" might really going to be obselete in the future icon_idea.gif
maybe someone already shared this LOL  tongue.gif
*
i think it was 1.0 ecoboost vs 1.6 NA , but surely still behind of most 2.0NA

I would prefer new tdci engine with 16+ ps , minor mode could reach 200ps
