May I know the duration of warranty period for Ford vehicles? For Nissan it's 3 years or 100,000km whichever comes first.
Thanks in advance.

i find ford parts are much higher after SD takeover. before that it was reasonably fair. ranger parts are priced great, but not for focus. for fiesta, maybe when the parts could be source from asean countries, hopefully it'll be in great value. i wonder about mondeo myself.

Last question(if I ever get a response). Anybody who has owned a Ford for more than 6 years would care to share whether there are any major components or parts break-down? If yes, what are those parts? Thanks in advance.

my focus Mk1 had 180,000 mileage. gonna be 10 years in september. the only major parts to be replace is the steering rack that cost me RM 3,800.00. how crazy is the steering rack cost, but i have no choice and rebuilding it would cost me RM1k too with just 1 month warranty. other than that i've replace the thermostat, link bar, tyre bearing clip without replacing the bearing, pulley adjuster and a radiator link pipe. all parts are maintain/bought by ford authorized service center, GTL is who i prefer now. I only had argument how expensive the pulley adjuster (after SD takes over) and steering rack (in 2007 i think) is. other than that i found it OK. ford's car are great.

Once again, thanks for sharing the information. The all-new Ford Fiesta is the no. 1 in my shortlist and I have to collect as much information from current Ford owners to ensure I am not making the wrong choice. On the driveability of the car, I have no doubts that the Ford drives great. I have two friends who are Ford owners and they have commented on the excellent driveability of the car. The areas of concerns going for this car are mainly on reliability and cost of maintenance apart from resale which are all common concerns for "cold" cars here in Malaysia.

FOMEC provide comprehensive info on the reliability and parts price of the ford range, focus being particurlaly expensive due to currently no subsidy from Ford as compare to when Ford malaysia was directly invovle.
Fiesta being CKD in Thai should provide afforable spare parts.

wow... don't know city's sterring rack is so damn expensive as well. my focus cost RM4.3k something, after I asked for best discount, RM3.8k is what i get. i envy my friend on the E46 who could purchase a rebuilt steering rack just for RM600 and a potong one for RM450.00 only... they should have more focus in the cut cut shop... especially with the ST badge.
