QUOTE(thecoffeeguy @ Aug 9 2015, 08:49 PM) Thanks for the response. Wasnt considering Swift at first but Dad really loves the car and urged me to buy it. Even offered a part-time exchange with his car if I buy it  Was more keen on the Fiesta tbh but the clutch problem is a killer. Wouldnt want to be car-less for a problem I knew exist prior to buying it. Gotta be prepared for that if I ever choose that path.. So if I am not mistaken, 74k-ish otr retail price minus 8.5k rebate is the price that you got? Not bad! That forks out to be a big difference compared to Fiesta's price even after 15k rebate. Yep correct. If the Fiesta has the conventional AT then I would consider that. But man, Dry clutch DSG, don't play play unless you have a backup car. So for my case is, I want a backup/secondary car where I can use when I go pasar malam or just go to the Tesco for a quick grocery shopping. And hell I want it to be as conventional and as simple as possible when it comes to the Engine and Transmission. Yeah 68k OTR. Metallic add RM400. A lot of freebies including a DVR, 5mil tints smartag etc. But iinm can be even cheaper if you forego those freebies.

QUOTE(awyongcarl @ Aug 9 2015, 08:51 PM) The picture you show is pretty damn blur, but is that orange peel that you are complaining about? Hmm I dont think the picture is blur but its the texture of the paint job itself, or maybe you need to reload the picture. Yea, the orange peel texture, certain parts of the car paint are like that, especially the side door. Do you have the same issue?

I have yet to get my car but I will be sure to crank up my eagle eye level when I take the car from the dealer. Unfortunately orange peel is rather common nowaday. Even my brand new BMW F30 also has this issue. Mostly corrected while I had the car coated by Nanolex though.

Isnt it unethical for them to produce such quality of work while we paid for it even though it is very common nowadays? Good luck to you and hope to hear good news from you when you get your car I will definitely complain to the SC whenever doing my 1st 1k km service, and see what they can do about it.

I think you should complaint to your salesman now, shoot him a message on whatsapp or whatever, make sure he is known of your issue. If you complain only when you go for your 1k service, they can't really do anything also lol, delay delay delay. But I suppose if they are responsible then they will arrange a polishing for your car hopefully. And really really hope that the polisher will be good and not some lousy one that induce swirls and hologram on your clearcoat lol. Btw, if you just got your car, do consider coating your new car. It's worth it imo.

QUOTE(raysaw @ Aug 9 2015, 05:20 PM) how's the fuel consumption of sport 1.6 variant and GLX 1.4 variant? which one better? Personally i tried both If you're going for auto, get glx.. Sport auto is crap.. And glx less problematic and less rattles.. Except suspension a bit bouncy at the back.. Others? Glx better to drive, more responsive,bettet gearing,cheaper to mod..

Get the GLX. It's a really fun car to drive, it's handling is superb. I'm getting approximately 15KM per Litre of petrol for city driving.
