Hi owners of Ford Fiesta 1.5 Sedan Ti,

I would appreciate owners feedback for this new model as I am very keen to buy one unit.

I just have a brief 15 mins. test-drive and these are my comment.

1) Continental feel but alot of hard plastic around.
2) Leather seat for all passengers.
3) Suspension is rather hard.
4) Cabin space is acceptable (almost like Toyota Vios but slightly higher head room)
5) Well equipped with electronic information.
6) 6-Speed auto switchable to manual.
7) Keyless entry.

I would like to know more on fuel economy, long trip handling, and ease to use on their electronic instruments.


All of your feedback is highly appreciated.

fuel economy is average. around 11km/l

long trip handling is excellent. definitely better than anything japanese even some in C segment. to me, the best handling car up to 130k.

the ICE is touch and go. need to learn before it becomes easier. but not great.

Thanks for your feedback. Your information is very useful as a owner of this model. I have made comparison with Toyota Vios 1.5G and the spec. of Ford Fiesta Sedan have much more feature then this compared model.

I am only worry on the low speed in KL traffic jam which previous model is jerky in the auto gear change. Please share with me your new ride experience.

the jerkiness is still there, unfortunately. which is a small price to pay until the roads open up.

Toyota Vios, Honda City, Toyota Altis, Honda Civic, Mazda 2, Mazda 3, Nissans all will not be able to give the driving pleasure a Ford Fiesta can.

this car is built for drivers. if you want the best handling car below 130k. this is the best car money can buy.

if you want a mixture, maybe you should look at the all-new Honda City. It is jammed pack with features. and will have a smoother ride in town.
