Hi yall,

1. Anyone here driving 208 gti or fiesta ST?
2. Any problems with major components?
3. what is the expected service charges i.e. Higher than civic turbo?
4. RV after 5 years

Would expect manual hot hatches to be trouble free since no dsg issues but correct me if I am wrong thanks

"Tapi sayangnya kereta yang kami uji datang dengan satu kerosakan mudah yang tidak dapat dibaiki oleh pusat servis luar Kuala Lumpur di hujung minggu. Kami mendapati sistem kawalan iklim kereta ini tidak berjaya mencapai suhu yang ditetapkan di waktu tengahari. Perkara ini berlaku pada petang Jumaat apabila enjin dihidupkan dan lampu amaran ‘engine fault, repair needed’ berkelip.

Bagi memastikan ianya bukan pepijat (bug) dalam perisian elektroniknya yang kompleks, kami matikan dan hidupkan enjin beberapa kali sebagai reset. Selepas beberapa kali, lampu amaran kerosakan enjin tidak lagi menyala. Namun sistem iklim tetap tidak berfungsi dengan memuaskan. Keesokkannya kami bergerak ke utara dan mendapati kabin terus panas dan sistem kawalan iklim langsung gagal untuk menghasilkan sebarang kenyamanan di dalam kabin.

Dalam usaha membetulkan keadaan, kami berhenti di Bukit Beruntung dan mencari kedai servis hawa dingin, namun kami kecewa kerana kedai hawa dingin biasa dan kedai pakar tidak dapat melakukan sebarang ujian keatas sistem hawa dingin kereta ini kerana ia menggunakan injap khas untuk mememasukkan gas pendingin ataupun memeriksa tekanan di dalam sistem. “Ini guna gas baharu, lagi baharu punya, dia punya injap (valve) lain. Saya tak boleh sambung untuk periksa tekanan gas pun. Kita pun belum ada gas ini,” kata juruteknik yang bertugas.

Percubaan seterusnya membawa kami ke pusat servis Citroen di Juru dan juruteknik disitu mengesahkan bahawa model 308THP dan Citroen Picasso menggunakan gas baharu dan oleh kerana kereta itu masih baharu di pasaran mereka belum ada stok gas baharu dan menyuruh kami ke pusat servis Peugeot di Bagan Ajam, Butterworth. Berpeluh juga lah nak ke Bagan Ajam dari Juru, bukan jauh, bukan sesat, aircond takde.. panas… Setiba di sana, juruteknik menyambungkan komputer diagnostik kepada kereta dan mendapati bahawa tekanan di dalam sistem penghawa dingin adalah cukup tinggi, ini menandakan bahawa gas pendingin masih di tahap yang ditetapkan.



Komputer diagnostik menunjukkan bahawa relay kipas berkelajuan tinggi sudah tidak berfungsi. Itu yang menyebabkan sistem kawalan iklim gagal mendinginkan kabin. “Kalau nak ganti, kami order dari KL, kena tunggu tiga hari,” kata juruteknik. Aduss, takkan nak tunggu tiga hari di Bagan Ajam. Kami pun mengucapkan terima kasih atas usaha beliau memeriksa kereta dan berkata kami akan hantar kereta ke ibu pejabat untuk tindakan lanjut. Dengan itu Peugeot 308THP menjadi ‘hot hatch’ dalam beberapa erti kata untuk selebih masanya bersama kami.

Komponen relay kipas kelajuan tinggi ini bukanlah sesuatu yang disimpan oleh semua pusat servis tetapi jika kita pergi ke pusat servis utama jenama Jepun, selalunya ia boleh didapati di hari yang sama ataupun esok hari sekiranya kita datang lewat petang. Mungkin Peugeot begitu yakin dengan kualiti produknya sehingga mereka tidak menghantar komponen tersebut ke pusat pengedaran zon, tetapi penyudahnya keputusan ini menyusahkan pemandu. Sekiranya saya baharu membeli model ini, pengalaman tersebut boleh membuatkan pemilik berasa kurang senang dengan pengalaman tersebut

Wow thats bad...how about the fiesta ST? Any owner experience here?

Ford Aftersales Service is expensive.
If you can accept that, then you can purchase Ford.

Roughly how expensive as compared to civic turbo? 1.5 times maybe?

5 years warranty 3 years free service

After that can diy, huge following oversea has tons of diy on YouTube

The best is you, go to their showroom and seek for the ownership and operating costs for these vehicles.

Not to forget aftersales service is more important and you don't want to be wasting your time going back and forth from the SC for unresolved issues.
Third year can dispose the car then

My dad constantly complain about the expensive servicing cost for his Ford SUV.
And their aftersales service is not really that great either.

What did he expect ?

You think Japanese are cheaper ?

Then your dad didn't do any research

Test drove the Fiesta ST last week. Clutch surprisingly light and easy to manage. Overall quite easy to drive. But equipment level is so bad it doesn't even have LED DRL and HID. Centre screen is same as base Fiesta. Love the styling and performance.

But at that price, can get so many cars, and some of them are equally as fun.

Fiesta all the way. Just that the after sales service is a lil' infamous for being bad.

Golf R

How was the performance and handling? Is it as great as the reviews?

better buy satria neo bro. cheaper, faster and value for money.

u must be a noob to compare car by horsepower.

in sepang a neo can win over a fiesta anytime.

not because of hp but because of the handling.

neo has a better chassis and better suspension.

125hp faster than 200hp

hahhahahahahahahahahahahaha

I'm too poor to own a Fiesta ST. Just to be sure, we are talking about the Fiesta ST right? not the regular Fiesta     

Wait lemme summon my ahbeng friend. He drives a for fiesta.
Nightheart

Don't wanna talk about cars la, car keyboard warriors all talk & argue till no end like engineers but in reality probably just test driven the car once or twice only, other info all pluck from magazines only. More hours behind a keyboard than a steering wheel. It's more productive talking to a pinoy.

Bro you own any Ford yourself? Mind telling any issues with manual? Should be much better than dsg right?

Latest batch got LED DRL already

really?

salesgirl told me because they had problems with jpj for the HID, hence they dropped off HID and LED DRL. the one i test drove use halogen as DRL

latest batch also expensive, 150k with no rebate. i was offered 138k for 2015 models.

Any other difference besides the lights?

Yes one of our friend (local celebrity ) ezzrin loy just got his fiesta ST and it comes with LED DRL. For Fiesta model memang worldwide also doesnt come with HID

He want masuk track ...    dares  Mana tau he bawa his Neo lotus edition / R3 ?

If he's gonna bring a RM115k Neo to a pissing contest, I'll bring a 95hp 1.4l Fiesta just to troll kaw him. 

I've driven a stock Neo CPS 5MT before and I do love how well it does as a driver's car and you do get a lot of fun for that price. But I've also driven the Fiesta ST....and it is clear as day the difference in performance between both cars.

If the TS is not averse to local cars, modding and burning warranties....I'd say buy a Neo then BOT it, and it'll still be cheaper than a Fiesta ST.

Hi @Happyplace

I am curious what was your final decision between the Fiesta ST and Pug 208 GTI??

Quite interested to hear it out.

Hi there, finally I went with the Pug..the Ford was just too tight at the back for ppl to sit. I'm looking for a daily car not just weekend car so that was a big factor. Another factor is the suspension is too stiff for the Ford. I find the Pug perfect balance for our not so good roads. I touge occasionally and the Pug is a lot of fun on b roads.

Bro, honest advice, either u stay away or buy the cheapest 2nd hand u can get, then spare the money and leave u saved for endless repair

Forget about the Pug. Thanks me later.

As an actual owner myself and my friend who wrote this blog:
https://routehunters.co/2018/06/the-peugeot...-70000km-later/

We have no complaints with regards to the reliability and maintenance cost. Almost all of the faults are known and covered under warranty and not take longer than 1/2 days to fix.

Personally I have only changed the thermostat housing, the two front absorbers and that's it..66k km going strong and almost 5 years. Also note that the warranty is extended until 7 years even if u bought second hand.

Lastly, my friend who wrote the blog above have since then passed 160k km with no major faults reported.
