There is pretty much no safety standard in Germany. DRLs are a must on newly launched cars, and probably seatbelts are required, but more than that, not really from what I know. The Lada Niva is perfectly legal in Germany, and that car comes with a few seatbelts. That is _all_. However people wouldn’t buy a car with only 4 airbags, unless there is a really good reason to do so (like being much, much, much cheaper than cars that are properly equipped, or in the case of the Niva being a brilliant offroader for a very low price).

The Vios is sold as the Yaris in Europe (though their Yaris is already in the 3rd generation, the Vios here is based on the 2nd gen Yaris), the City is I believe based on the Jazz/Fit, thus also sold in Europe. However the cars that are sold here are massively downgraded from what they sell over there, while the Fiesta here is similar in specs as it is in Europe.

Sam.

By being a parrot repeating the same mantra on every post in pt.com, you are actually not contributing to the collective wisdom of this “forum”.

In short, u are not adding any value to this group by bringing in new information and discussing things from new angles.

a car is something that will drag you from investing and will affect your cash flow in malaysia…
ofcoz it’s not an investment and no one say it is….only those who has no economy sense will link it to economy….
get a life…it’s ppl choice for choosing higher RV….if ford has high RV someday i bet you will use the same term to promote the car….such hypocrite…..

They dont sell Vios and City there bcos those models cant even meet the safety standard requirements set by the Euro market.
Their Fiesta same with us with exception of soft touch dash board and telescopic steering. All the major parts and safety features are same like ABS, EBD, TCS, Airbags, Chasis, Dual Clutch transmission, engine etc.

I must say this Fiesta sedan looks much better & more well proportioned as compared to the current ones… I must say Ford done it better (hatchback and sedan offerings per model) with current Focus. Both Sports and Titanium are good looking cars… and oh man… the engine is superb for a N/A, to put a small tap on the gas pedal and reach 100km/h in no time, handles well too.

for those who r still consider much about resale value, should this article in Malaysia Insider. The point has been made quite clear:

A car is NOT an investment.

Hai, Nobody has tested the car, new face-lifted Fiesta. It just appeared in Brazil Motor Show, already so much assumption and arguement. Practical views are welcomed, not for the sake of argue. No point. If you drove the cars, possibly then can give your opinions,in term of technical, road holding,max. speed etc. TQ.

I still think the rear design of this car committed suicide. The ass is so high up and it doesnt work on a small sedan.

okay i know i’m gonna get flamed for this, but how come Ford doesn’t put their damn ecoboost engines into these (nvr heard of the flex fuel engine)…. plus malaysia could really use ecoboost on a mainstream car like the fiesta (okay i know some of you guys gonna mention mondeo…. heard it before….. but it AINT mainstream unless they’re selling it by the truckload…..)

seriously…. i know its gonna be a huuuge wait be4 the new fiesta hits our shore…. but couldn’t someone at Ford just for once use their damn head and roll out a fiesta with eco-boost…..

then you can see how well the fiesta’s competitors will sell (heads up vios, city and the boring bunch…)

p.s. damn the front grille looks sweet…. a good ride for us poor malaysian Bond wannabees?
