Ford fiesta st: is it worth it?

[Izso]

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....

"N" has no resale value either la.


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

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.

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?...

 

[gunnerzz]

be very careful with french vehicle.
it has a magical charm in its character which will bond with you for life...hehehhe
agree with you that the pug is consider as quite cheap for what it offer.here its cheaper by abt 10k compared to the fiesta right?

anyway i do b

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.

Seeing so many conti cars fail in their later years in Malaysia makes me very afraid to own any of them

Yeah same with me. They also seem so hi-tech which actually scares me even more!

Back in the 90s, I could still DIY some smaller maintenance stuff on my Mitsu 4 cyl like taking out and cleaning injectors, TB, idle servo, changing the cam cover seal, replacing motor fans & thermostat, change plugs, adjust timing, etc2. But now even looking at my Mark X engine, I'm headache already, looks so complicated and got a lot more sensors and wiring.
