    Unlike many, I had a great experience with our Ford Fiesta. It was my wife's daily to work. although we clocked in little mileage compared to many other Fiesta users, we really enjoyed it. Bought it with a 14k discount brand new from Sime Darby Ford. bought at RM 72k. Under warranty, they updated the software for the gearbox and 1 clutch replacement at 8 months old. Had the car for 8 years plus and sold it last year because we got a good price for it. sold it for RM21K.
    The car never once broke down. We maintained it for 5 years in Sime Darby Ford and the balance 3 years with Bengkel Excellence Subang. Other than the water pump for periodical maintenance and the front suspension being damaged by a tire shop, there were no major issues.
    The Aircond was cold, and the car was built solid. The sound system was proper and the car had a fantastic paint job from the factory. Loved the seats as it was like a semi-bucket style. half leather and half fabric.
    At the time, many competitors, like the Vios and City, were using 15/16-inch wheels, but they all used 185-wide tires. The fiesta was running 195/50/16. The car handled well with this tire profile.
    Overall we were very satisfied.
    Just thought I'd share my experience.

    Best car i ever own,10/10 wont buy again..the pain point of this car is the dct + smelly aircond…i change clutch 5x under warranty..sold it after 5years..if they ever re-release it with a reliable gearbox-would buy it and keep it forever..in us actually there is a lawsuit that ford are force to repurchase it..

    For RM7,000 what will be your choices? I will wait for avW210 non kompressor model.

    • @KonWaiLuen
      @KonWaiLuen  2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I think W210 at RM7,000 now also got plenty.

    Would you recommend the fiesta over a VW polo the comparable generation?

    • @KonWaiLuen
      @KonWaiLuen  3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The VW Polo definitely more reliable, to be fair,.but the Fiesta handling is much more peppy.

    If the Fiesta is sold for RM 1 + a full tank of gas + set of 4x new tyres, maybe there are potential buyers😅

    230k km never once changed the tcm.
    Today i clocked 40km/l on sport mode. Unfortunately cannot paste the image here. Otherwise i can let people see how capable this car is.

    • @KonWaiLuen
      @KonWaiLuen  3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Wow, impressive! What sort of usage patterns?

    • @fktaufik9252
      @fktaufik9252 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @KonWaiLuen i sent you an email with the screenshot attached.
      What i can say is, i turned off hill assist, kind of running on sport mode instead of normal D mode.
      In D, the car will upshift as early as possible ie 2500 rpm, meanwhile, if the hill assist turned off, the rpm will hold rpm longer for upshift ie 3000rpm.

    I may be biased but we have really bad experience with Fiesta Ecoboost. Parts are expensive and problem headache. I'd rather go for VW or even BMW anytime

      Between Ford, VW, and BMW..... BMW is by far easiest to jaga

      That's the general consensus in the market, but this example that is on the verge of being driven to the ground still got me around without missing a beat. So I was properly grateful for it.

    10 automatic cars malaysians will avoid after hard lesson learnt
    1. Any Ford Mondeo, Kuga, Fiesta, Focus
    2. Any VW dry DSG.
    3. Any Renault automatic.
    10. Nissan Syplhy 2.0

      I had a Mondeo with a wet-clutch Powershift previously and a Kuga with an Aisin 6AT now. Both were fine during ownership, but the issues arose with the one that had dry clutches powershift.

      The Kuga 6A/T is not known to have transmission issues.

    • @user96247
      @user96247 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @KonWaiLuen i see a lot of good kelisa and kancil in sabah and sarawak tbh. Most of the one i saw in peninsular are either trashed or beyond repair. A ford focus is still a good choice. But the repair that comes along with it. Just not worth it

      @KonWaiLuen she replaced her faulty engine with recon engine, abs pump rm 2600, engine mounting rm1800. Steering rack rm1000. Gasket rm250 skim cylinder head rm200. Parts are expensive.
