i think this is the pre-facelift model

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.

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

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

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.

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

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