Anyone here bought their Swift from the showroom at Kota Damansara? Booked a test drive there tomorrow and hope to see some good things lol

Not sure, haven't thought about that yet. But so far I was offered 8.5k rebate, full tank petrol and a smartag.
How was your experience with them? Servicing etc?

Ah..I see...I wonder how is the CKD built quality lol.

Placed the booking today after test driving it
GLX Bayside blue.

Just love the way it looks and drives, didn't need much reasoning to justify the purchase.

Only for Swift GLX I was told. Well I am only interested with the GLX so I didn't bother to ask the other trims.
Heard from the sales personnel that the car will be ready for collection some time around next week

I had the same dilemma as yours. Ford Fiesta is having a great sales for the Fiesta for 15k discount, but 2014 manufactured car. But then again..I want a secondary car that is reliable and somewhat fun to drive. I am already driving a continental sedan and I don't need another continental car that require constant attention at the workshop (lol).

There is only a few thousands diff between GL and GLX, so when you get term loans the diff became negligible. So I took the GLX.

The picture you show is pretty damn blur, but is that orange peel that you are complaining about?

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.

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.

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.

Just got my GLX yesterday. Very fun to drive around lol.
Everything ok after driving for about 200km. Will see when the rattling starts hahaha.

But it is really fun to zip around town with this car

My "garage"

The suspension feels fine for me, it's okay, not too soft, just nice.

I don't think the Swift has that feature.

Hmm well primarily around PJ/KL/Kepong/Sg.Buloh area. I mean I'm not an expert on that, but as an ordinary driver, it feels alright for me. Of course I didn't do any crazy stuff like high speed cornering so I wouldn't know lol
