I booked mine last week, now waiting for bank approval which they called me yesterday, shouldnt have a issue for this, so, looks like will get the car by end Nov latest...Mark...only rm13k rebate?? Did you tradein your car? I got a rebate of rm16k with 02pcs smart tag/ full tank n crystal number plates as well as the car reg no that i rqsted, what did the SA gave you for rm13k rebate? Tinted? Car coil mats? Plse chk with your SA for the types IF he includes with the car, mine was also promised car tinted 7years warranty, while waiting for the SA to come back from Jpj, i took a walk to buy a drink from a mamak shop behind the branch and saw a kuga being tinted at a accessories shop, walk-in n ask how much for whole car, shop assistant said they do for all fords for that branch and it cost rm250 only...my my iam one guy who is very particular about tinted...colour/ heat and so on, most of us have tint our cars at least once, for rm250 i get a cheapo tint and regret for the next few years...No Way!! So to avoid my dissapointment later on i canx the tinted and got a deal for the numbers that i want, initially was told to pay rm330 for the number that i want but since the tint is canx i got it for free...care to share us your deal with us? There are so many con-SA out there so always get the best deal, if this branch cannot offer go to another one, thats what i did, cause they always think there are the only branch in klang valley, branch or dealer they are the same!!

Have any of you "pasang" amps/ better speakers after getting the car? I spoke to one top guy for technical part on warranty issues..he said will void electrical module warranty...i plan to moved the better speakers from my old car to the new kuga cause the sony ones in the kuga is dull...how about bigger flat screens/ extra drl lights/ locktech...anyone here already installed?

really tat lousy meh? U have high requirement on listening audio quality. I personally think the best part of Ori Kuga sound system especially the Mid Sound is nice , especially listening to Jazz / INstrumental music.

Sorry, no jazz/ sentimental music for me, without good ICe or insulation, it doesnt make any difference if you were to play rock when the noise outside comes in when driving, IF you say the sony players are adequate then you should only install Dynamat at yr doors-roof-back door...whole car rm850/ 9 pcs 2.5x2.5ft size

hey man,
i just own this model since a mth ago. Few things to share out with u:
1) fuel consumption- from beginning till now, the fuel is getting to save my money more. But pls be cautious when u start driving. as this is 1.6 engine, the weight of car also heavy (even c/w turbo) , initial acceleration pls don't expect it will shoot to fast speed, try to step ur pedal (go with the flow) till ur gear 3, then step deeper for better performance, the magic of this car is start from Gear 4 till 6. My experience so far, i manage to tail most 2.0ltr Japanese engine. U feel great about this model.
2) For european, if u drive long inside car, less oxygen, feel dizzy. By opening the shutter, let more frest air come in, more safety. Yes, can't make it permanent. By default, it opened.
3) for my side, no noise ler on disk brake
4) agak2 RM450 per pc of tire

Tyres depends on which brand/make/sizes/treadwear...the kuga is given the Hankook, how's the handling with these tyres...did any bal/allign for a better ride? Iam one person very "pantang" if the car steering feels tight n sways to the left or right unexpectedly...i believe all new cars have this issue ( comparing my previous rides) for a brand new car, if any of you wanna have good and cheap bal/allign cost for rm50 or less only....then go to this shop in shah alam jalan utas C 15/C....its a corner shop behind this mamak restoran ( mamak shop is beside kedai makan muslim cina) , ive done bal n rotate tyres many times and the price in sbng usj is killing me till i found this shop by chance, in sbng for some simple bal/allign the cost is approx rm80-120....ea time!! Every time they would say adjust tyre camber which cost rm25 per tyre...thats their "cari makan " tactic, the shah alam shop never even mention once BUT i see them going underneath the car and adjust, drive out for a few kms and come back adjust again till done, even my wife who does not much about cars was really surprised by the actual cost as she takes hers for allign/bal too previously in Usj

Hopefully I can find out this Saturday. I have a project in Ipoh, need to be there every Saturday.

Btw, I really want to install an In-car camera. Will it void my warranty?
I had an incident 2 years ago. On a weekday, at approximately 8pm, a quiet residence area. A motorcyclist reverse his vehicle in front of traffic light and hit my front bumper. He get down from his bike and walk towards me and start shouting at me. Luckily the light turn green and there was no car on my left, so I accelerate and leave the scene. Since then, I wanted an In-car camera.

Yes the in-car camera might be useful, but I think you should get with the recorder ones...they come with or without reverse camera but you need to buy the camera, PLSE don't get the wireless ones, they may run out of batt anytime without warning and during the time when you actually wants it to record, furthermore sometimes it cant read your signal just like our phone wifi when the signal is weak, only thing is good is less wires to install and cost rm450+, you have 02 pods hanging out...one for receiving and one for sending the signal, u might attract unwanted breakin of your car when the thief can notice this standing infront of your windscreen to steal it, you can hide the pods on your rooftop beneath the roof covers but you may find it difficult to change batteries when they go weak...might have to remove the cover yourself, so, its entirely up to you....warranty, well if you mess up the Ecu unit then it will void warranty but very little chances for that

Will you be cutting the wires? Coz i called my SA, he said if the cable was cut, warranty void on all electronics items.

The reverse camera has a red wire cable, the shops will connect it with the wires from your 12V reverse lights, when the car is in reverse gear it will activate the reverse camera as well, NO wires cut

Tissue box issue...get the clip on type when you can clip on to the back of your seat pocket, once finish just filled it up, pvc leather only rm3...these are image[attachmentid=4235565][attachmentid=4235567]
