2008 Ford Fiesta Test Drive Diary ( The Sixth generation )

Recently there is a new kid in town.After a long wait finally the mighty & gorgeous "FORD FIESTA" is  here in Malaysia.Both available in Hatch Back and Sedan.
I have seen it in the magazine and now is time to meet the real one.
  • It's fall under the " SuperCompact " or "Super Mini Car" catergory.
  • It was a long queue that early mornig , very crowded , a lot of people is exicited about the new launch of this very hot & spicy Ford Fiesta "Hot Hatch".
  • I was amazed by it striking look both exterior and interior , modernize design suitable for urban vibes , aerodynamic shape from front to rear , handsome sport rims , superb both head and tail lights shape , rear wing spoiler and also the  diffuser .It just awesome!!!
  • I  take a spin but only for a while you already relish this small car and make you stay longer and keep on driving forever.
  • The ride is speechless , very powerfull , very responsive when comes to gear shifting , brakes , fast cornering , enjoyable ride , comfortable feels and etc.
  • The sad things is that the only assembly factory which still share with Mazda in Thailand only managed to produce 4,500 units a month at maximun out put.
  • Due to the global high demands therefore Ford has increased the production another 30 % to cope with the pace.
  • When comes to runing cost ( maintenance ) Ford is among the lowest for continental car and only 15% higher compare to Japanese car.
  • It's really a great bargain for such package.Is a Ford.

Hello Kin!
I know this Fiesta very well! In my opinion is really stylish car, quite comfort. I watched new Fiesta about two months ago, but unfortunately I wasn't able to do test drive, because loccal dealer hasn't got registered car. But yes! I like it! Rally driver from Kielce (country where I live) - Michał Sołowow has got one s2000 and races it in european championship with pretty large successes. More info here:
