Just wondering if anyone here drives a Fiesta 1.6S, would love to hear some comments about it. I personally think it is the best offer in the market compared to other hatchbacks and sedans which are in the similar price range like the Mazda 2, City, Latio & etc.

FC, build quality, annoying sound from engine side. and of course bad sound proofing of the car. see how good is the trade in value first... a car Jeremy Clarkson thumb up, i dont think how bad is it... hahaha!
 
that old skol 4speed AT impress??? engine still use single vvt. can u tell me wat impress????
overall, 6 speed dual clutch vs old skol 4 speed AT, dual vvt vs single vvt, bigger boot vs smaller boot.

fiesta sound proof is really gd.
 
Hi Guys, theres a Fiesta Club Malaysia Forum, its Portal, We can find more info about that car there =)
 
It is amazingly stable when cruising on 180kmh, and fuel consumption on highway's k is low. Was surprised by the performance of fiesta on my way back from KL to Johor, thumbs up :top:

What I don't like about swift 1.5 is that the acceleration of it is a bit slow.
 
personally i think fiesta club malaysia too much commercial/marketing. merchant selling alot useless thing n car accesory that claim improve FC n power.
 
hmm best selling car in europe at the moment. i personally think that people here in Malaysia are more willing to follow mainstream tho, thus city and civic everywhere. Mazda 2 is a great car either. Maybe we hate small boot? (thats what my dad said as its not practical)

Sound proof much better than vios/city
DSG is a whole new world compared to CVT
surprisingly interior dun feel small when driving
refresh design compared to City/vios

only complain is certain plastic edge of the car abit sharp.

For 82k no complain, my previous car is an EK. I get the feeling of an upgrade when i got the car. My other car within consideration when buying is city/vios therefore it is used for comparison. Not because i hate watever brands. Cheers.

Please dun be worry abt the secondhand value because you wont know. This car is new in market, nobody can predict how the secondhand value will be like. If it is best seller in Europe why cant it happen in Malaysia?

For people who predict this car will have bad secondhand value please help me predict where is the next jackpot winning ticket will be selling..cheers..

cheers fiesta owner
 
my mom owns a fiesta sedan. almost 3 months now. overall its a nice car. acceleration good, fc good, but the steering is too light for me. my mom terus book after test drive it. haha
 
Owned the fiesta s for 3 months now.. overall an impressive machine for the price.. i did calculation, the car shud be arnd rm140-150k if they were to be CBU (non-asean countries).. u can get one now at 82k!

PRO
  • very good chasis
  • handles well
  • nice semi bucket seats
  • well built
  • good fuel consumption + 6speed twin clutch
  • stylish
  • good suspension

CONS
  • rear drum brakes
  • twin clutch gbox uncertain at times, with lags (clutch slipping) when kicking-down a couple of gears, ie 6-4, or 5-3, etc
  • torque curve very flat at low rpm, but kicks in at 4k rpm.. a bit cacat..
  • steering too light, need both hands during highway driving

verdict - 8.5/10 :driver:

Nice car but the interior is disappointing. It could be reason why it can be priced at 82k.
