I know nothing about the Fiesta other than the fact that every single reviewer on the planet has had nothing bad to say about the car. So obviously it's a drivers car. But in the end it depends on what it is you want from the car. Driving pleasure? Power + driving pleasure? Off-roading? etc.

Personally I'd rather get a RX7 FD.
Personally I'd take a Lancer Evo, preferably VI-IX.

I didn't know Ford imported the Fiesta ST in Malaysia. I thought it was the standard model only?
Yes they have the ST price list in their website.

I know of one friend who actually crashed a BMW during a test drive, was in a coma and hospitalized. Not sure of whole story but he went to test the car and crashed it. I actually knew him a few years after the crash, but did not get the full story....anyway, we are off topic dy.....:smokin:

Well, here in Malaysia, so far only T, H and N holds the 2nd hand value. Other than that the rest drops like a ton of bricks, especially Citroen and in Cantonese a lot like to tease it as "Sit Toe lun" as in loose until nothing left.
In case of Ford they ain't too good either especially the Euro Ford, so if buying as driver's car go ahead don't think second hand value....:driver:
"N" has no resale value either la.


And I wonder if we can book appointment to test drive a Koeniggseg. :biggrin:

I would sum the Fiesta ST up as a pocket monster. Amazingly fun to drive and understated.
My review here: The Fiesta ST in 100 words plus on-board track video | Zerotohundred.com

however, you might just want to take a look at the Clio RS for comparison.
Project Clio RS 200 EDC: 10 reasons why it is the hot hatch at the moment | Zerotohundred.com

I like the Fiesta ST for its purity and manual box but I love the Clio RS for everything else. It's also likely the most up-to-date.

good luck
Went to pj showroom but no test drive unit...they have it there but cannot test drive as it is already sold...

Now after sometime the looks of 208gti grew on me... Haha... Now having difficulties on which one to decide...was hoping to test drive the st just to check if the suspension setup within my tolerance or not since everywhere i read it is more stiffer than the gti..

Anyone here using the 208gti?

Here in Malaysia the pug is cheaper than the fist. But most of reviews i read on the net they gave the fist a better rating due price vs handling....will the rating be the other way round if the price of the pug is cheaper?...

my ex-colleague fell for the french charm, that made him owning 2 cars currently, and another MPV soon.
The one reason why he so attached to french car is that the way things of the car work- French flair and design.

Who has successfully upgraded the absorber to any after market abs, but retaining the OEM spring?

I heard that the SEs (the first 10k batch) are using the Waja absorbers, matched with revised spring height. Can anyone confirm this?

Currently WiSE users face a problem where.. when after market 1.6/1.8 absorbers are used with the OEM springs. the front height will be too low and the rear height will be too high.

This is due to the revised spring height. The...
