Hello guys,

I am considering to buy 2nd hand fifo. This will be my first car. I found 2 fifo that meet my budget. First, rm 43800 1.6 xtr sports. The second one rm37,900. Both mileage is 30k-35k. Is it a wise decision to take this car as my first car?

Power feels like an increase, and possibly placebo effect is that now with just the right amount of back pressure, clutch feels like doesn't judder so hard anymore. You wanna improve performance, have to step away from comfort side of things. Better handling=uncomfortable ride, better grip=increase road noise,etc etc

PowerShift 6 Speed Operating Characteristics
Background
In 2010, Ford launched an all new transmission, PowerShift, an advanced six-speed automatic transmission based on manual transmission technology with class-leading fuel efficiency. This communication will help explain the technology and common operating characteristics of this new transmission found on the Fiesta and Focus in order to improve customer expectations and
experiences. PowerShift is an advanced automatic transmission technology
The PowerShift is really like two 3-speed manual transmissions put together, with the dual clutch and shifting components controlled electronically. Since most of the components are derived from a manual transmission, the PowerShift transmission will drive, sound, and feel like a manual transmission but without the driver interaction.

Service Personnel Support
Since PowerShift Transmission is a new technology, some customers might not be familiar with the normal driving characteristics of this transmission. Service support personnel should be aware of the normal operating characteristics and be able to differentiate between normal characteristics and abnormal symptoms that require service. The following information will
assist with addressing certain potential customer concerns.

Common Characteristics of the PowerShift Transmission
Common Sounds a driver may notice are:
ā€¢ Double clicking metal sounds. These noises can likely be heard while driving on very smooth surfaces during a 1-2 upshift or a 3-2-1coast down. The sounds occur with every gear engagement, but generally cannot be heard over the background engine, road and wind noises at higher speeds. Most noticeable if the windows are down and the radio is off, these sounds are of the shift forks moving and the synchronizers engaging a gear (similar to a manual transmission). These shifting sounds are part of normal operation.
ā€¢ Coast down whine. A slight gear whine while slowing or coasting is normal
ā€¢ Clicking sounds after the engine is turned off. As the vehicle is powered down, the
transmission will cycle the clutches to the released position so it is ready for a safe restart of the engine. This is part of normal operation. Clicking sounds from the
transmission immediately after the engine is turned off are normal.
ā€¢ Low speed grinding. A slight grinding noise may be heard at about 2 MPH. This noise
is more evident during ā€œtrailer-hitchingā€ events (see below). This noise is caused by a
normal bearing rotation and does not affect the durability of the transmission.

ā€¢ Reverse gear whine. Some PowerShift transmissions will exhibit gear whine in reverse. The level of whine has been significantly reduced in later build vehicles, but can still be detected to some level. This is characteristic of many manual transmissions, and is not a defect or a situation in which a repair should be attempted

Alot of members from northern, southern, and eastern will come to KL for major items, such as a clutch/TCM change which is out of warranty. I know of one that towed the car here just to settle IIRC is accident repair and clutch change
