Ford has launched a special campaign called “Let’s Fiesta!” this Chinese New Year. Through 28 February 2013, Ford offers the chance to own a brand new Ford Fiesta from as low as RM588/month*, participated by Maybank and AmBank.

Ford Fiesta is known for its sporty body style, impressive smart technology and powerful performance features, while its fuel-efficiency credentials come from the clever combination of six-speed dual-clutch Powershift transmission and twin-independent variable camshaft timing.

According to Polk global industry data as of September 2012, the Fiesta is on track to become 2012′s best-selling global B-segment vehicle.

David Westerman, Regional Manager of Ford Export and Growth Operations Asia Pacific, said: “The global consumer response proves that Ford is going further to deliver vehicles that have earned a reputation for fuel-efficiency , as well as smart technologies and safety features that leads the B-segment.”

At the same time, Ford understands that safety is always a top concern when purchasing a vehicle. With this in mind, all-new Fiesta owners will enjoy the five-year or 200,000 km bumper-to-bumper new vehicle warranty. The new Fiesta cars also come with Ford’s Extended Service Plan (ESP), a free service maintenance program that covers parts and labour for up to three years or 60,000 km, whichever comes first.

Log on to www.ford.net.my for more information on both the car and the promotion, and the safety driving tips for the upcoming Chinese New Year trip.

* calculation of RM588/month is based on Fiesta 1.6L Sport OTR w/ insurance in Peninsular Malaysia for 9 years of financing period at RM76,000 loan amount. This promotion is valid for 9-year loan tenure and margin of financing not exceeding 90% of vehicle invoice price.

i think this is the pre-facelift model

manaada.jpeg.

just love small,super hatchback

Waiting for P3-22A. Bigger, better, stronger and powerful.

dont be so sure that its better

if we talking bout things that havent happen yet,i put my bet on fiesta.it would be much better that p3-22A.

especially with the coming 2013 model

probably

Got ESC and rear disk brake or not?

this model?
no

(though this is because to cut down the cost,so several stuff have to be change,so that i will stay below 90k pricetag,even after the crazy high tax.not to mention the fact its made in thai,not belgium, so malaysia fiesta is not the true fiesta,like,let say,uk.but im not saying the uk model got rear disc brake though,cuz i havent check yet)

but nevermind this point.cant do anything bout it

and back to "better".better is subjective brah.the whole feel of the car also got into account.

and lets say,the fact that it could be much more...durable(as in no engine bocor etc etc) than p3 (im saying could,cuz it havent launched yet) also could be count as being "better"

Thai review preve is on par with focus. But they just can't stand with the badge. Typical thai want to save water face.

So, P3-22A will be better than fiesta B segment.

proof of the bold statement?

like i said,the feel of the car also got into account.u cant just consider facts and spec on paper.the feel when u drive also matters

so,no.p3 doesnt have to be better than fiesta

ruffruff?

All design, testing is done by Ford of Europe. India/Thailand just makes very minor changes for localization items but final go ahead is from Ford Germany.
This is a good thing, like changes for the hotter climate, floods, suspension etc.

would go for Polo TSi anytime anywhere

butttt...i dont think bank will approve loan lol

9 years loan.dafuq!

9 years eh.very tukun car itll become

boleh tahan lar , 1.66% only
u put ur money in FD also got 3.75% lor

u for real?
i give one example.we have plain,smple plastic dash,compare to soft material like the one for europe

no way the changes is good.its all to cut down cost.just imagine.11k pound in europe.convert,rm66k right for malaysia?

plus tax here and there,it should be around 150k.but the retail price only 68-82k (for S model).how is that possible?

by taking out decent stuff to cut cost

way more expensive.almost 20k more.smaller engine.less beautiful (though subjective)

well,if u use it forever,then it wont be a prob

to me,personally,im baffled why u buy car,then wanna sell it?
just use la.then simpan ke.pass down to son ke.give present to somebody ke

very good indeed!

lol.its my family tradition la. loan 5 yrs, then loan settle sell and buy another. except for jeep,kelisa n pickups.

its true tempting plan, for fifo lover
imo its marketing strategy
installment still increasing year by year

btw , since the interest is such low at 1.66%
u may put ur extra income as FD instead of car installment and make it 9 years loan .
** but u need to pandai pandai at financial control

FD at bank also got 3.75% lor

hope that gearbox doesn't give way. Oh the horror tales

Conti???

Ford = american la, fiesta made in Thailand rite??

malaysian fiesta=yes

europe fiesta=no.made in belgium

calculation easy tok la
let say i plan safe 1k each month, so 1 year i should have12k.
but after 1 year i really have 12k?

they will say nevermind la, use for 3-4years then sell lor before it gets heavy.. but then due to low RV.. hard to sell without topup the balance.. end up stuck in this finanical problem..

come fiesta

thru my understanding, FORD is not a conti car rite??? Doesn't matter where it is made, it's still american brand....

BUT Fiesta hatchback is nice...

owh.its ok.just personal opinion

yes.if u insist.its not a conti car

that's why i bintang there ** u need a good financial control lor

fiesta can be like a home use car lar , even u not using anymore , ur mum ur grandmum also can use .
so for me this promo is quite attractive as it low interest

This new Fiesta Beta also not bad

yes.to be honest,car is not a good investment

sell it after use it,should be a last resort option.when desperate,in need of money.not to make money

cuz no matter what brand,it will depreciate.to save cost,to make every money worth it:

buy,use it till we or the car die.

u want good investment?buy house/land

more like interior and exterior touch up
but the stripe quite good

saw one in serdang

technically, its not.

car is nice, so u think this plan good or not?

suitable for beta males, not recommended if you want to be alpha..

Personal opinion.... Fiesta Hatchback is nice for me cuz the sedan rear look fugly.

If u only can afford a Fiesta thru a 9yrs loan. That ain't a good move for a car that depreciates so fast. Dun get me wrong, even buying a vios or city with 9yrs loan isn't a good decision. But u won't bear the same magnitude of depreciation.

izzit? i tot these fords will be costly to maintain as they get older?

it has 3 years & 60,000 KM Free maintenance
5 years & 200,000 KM Warranty

if older then nobody know already lar , but i believe this car quite tahan lar .
somemore Ford this brand quite reliable

of coz la, which car will get better performance after time goes by?
fc also efficiency will drop

of coz some drop in performance like engine power or suspension abit loose, and even part failure like abs sensor or O2 sensor is expected. but hope for readily replacable items (aftermarket alternatives) at decent cost..

http://www.headlightmag.com/main/

what ever is the price in EU doesnt mean a direct comparison is possible. the fiestas are built in Niehl, germany and that is already higher costs then in thailand. Plus there is around 19-26% VAT in european prices.
a 11k fiesta seems like a low configured model, what is the malaysian config.

if you want better interior then titatium should be the one to go for, i dont know on other packages.

some changes that are good for asean market include better AC system designed for hot climates, suspension options for poorer road conditions

the real low cost fiestas will be in brazil n china markets, malaysia still gets the 'normal' version

really?
i check out the s model,and it didnt have the soft material.just plastic on the dash

i think s is an entry model, dont know much since there is no sedan version sold in germany, mb eu. but titanium is usually 5k € more

eh?
there is 1.4 model,and 1.6 model,which is an S model

how come s is an entry model?

between Ford and Chevrolet?

why cant s be entry model? the S, trend, ambient, titanium is just the level of extras packed in, there could be a few engine variants. i dont know whats on offer in malaysia.

but you can check ford. com or *co.uk for variant details and compare to malaysian spec

ideally just take VW.

between the 2 ford, because GM/opel are struggling.

u mean,the best fiesta available here in malaysia is an entry fiesta for europe?

american not conti

i dont think there is the sedan option here in eu, only hatchback.

looking at the malaysian site, looks pretty decently spec'd

ok.but that doesnt explain why malaysian fiesta is different,especially interior,compare to europe fiesta

No, is a conti.

As Ford Fiesta is developed by Ford of Europe, which is based on Germany.

588 is cheap
but u get the sedan
not the sport model
my fiesta i think around 880 per month

Any current FoFi owner can comment on gearbox problem, how much it costs to replace, and whether parts are readily available?

Good deal actually, the Fiesta is a good and safe car. But since Proton is launching its hatchback, might as well wait a while and see what Proton is offering.

I'm not exactly well-versed with automobile terminologies, but based on the specifications, it appears that the 1.4 Manual has 7 airbags whereas the 1.6 Auto has only 2 (driver & passenger). How much difference does the 0.2 difference make?

but...is it better than myvi?

lol at butthurt saying fiesta is better than p22

when proven everything on spec is better, last argument is feel is better. pls lah. take into account engine capacity, chassis rigidity, brakes, front and rear suspension still say feel is better

why not just admit the badge is nicer. just admit it lah

Hidden term and condition ... Loan amount will increase every year

so much better

lol
of course la.better is subjective.bigger?ok.cheaper?ok.

but better? u have to look into all aspect,to consider it better.being much more durable and less prone to break down also can be call 'better'

why butthurt?im saying all the true facts.im not denying the fact p3 could be bigger and cheaper and more powerful

gearbox is not really problematic. sure the dual clutch isnt as smooth as volkswagen's dsg. in fact fiesta uses dry clutch, so even compared to focus or mondeo's gearbox, this one is rougher. changing from 2 to 3 is a bit jerky at low speeds. 1 to 2 even more jerky, but ur car rarely go into 1. usually start at 2. only if uphill and low speed, then ur car will use 1.

i just changed some parts of my gearbox at 48k mileage. becos got some oil leaking. but very minimal, not even dripping to the floor, just some oil at bottom of gearbox there. since got warranty, i just changed for free. after change, doesnt feel any difference.

one way to overcome the jerkiness it to drive spiritedly. at high revs the gearbox copes well. at low revs the dual clutch always hesitate to change, and sometimes got confused as well.

cramped, small windshield, turbo lag, feel plasticky despite being a vw, costs 20k more than highest spec fiesta, doesnt even come with leather seat, no usb audio.

only thing i like about the polo is the dsg. friggin smooth.

this
so true

if u say liddat thn inspira consider Japanese car liao ? developed base on lancer EX ma

actually i dont know about preve hatchback.... but i would say my friend fiesta s compared with my preve... fiesta NVH is actually better and slightly more stable when taking hard corner.... maybe the stability is due to preve is such a bigger car thn fiesta and the suspension is tuned for comfort.. but of course la this is 2 different segment car we cant compare it like that... but the NVH definately fiesta better..

ford is conti?

afaik ford = mazda

tak kisah la conti ke tak. ape issuenye?

conti kepala hotak hang.
ford = mazda

issuenye ialah silap kategoresasi.

lu lelaki, gua cakap pondan, boleh?
musti tak suka, betul tak.

ok2.ford is not conti ok

aku ada perasaan, lain cita la. fiesta tu bukan kesah pun dia conti ke tak. melainkan sharifah zohra jabeen cakap fiesta pun ada masalah.

siapa kata kreta takde perasaan.
kreta pun ada feeling gak.

lu layan die tak betul, besok pagi tak boleh start,
komputer pun ade feeling, sikit sikit hang

gua cakap, lu dengar, k..

ok. mulai esok aku akan belai fiesta aku dgn penuh kasih sayang. kalau dia merajuk jugak, aku mintak cerai, angkat gsxr600.
