    SES hatchback is a US trim model... What we have locally is called the Sport trim model... We do have the hatchback body as well as the sedan and IMO the Asian spec Fiesta looks better than the US spec...

    The Philippines gets better suspension, better sound-deadening and the 1.4 liter base model, which isn't available in the US.

    The availabe models are the 1.4 Trend MT, 1.6 Trend Dual Clutch Transmission, and the 1.6 Sport DCT. The difference between the Sport and Trend is the Sport has a stiffer suspension, voice command and a lightly different interior trim. Sport is only available on the hatchback. Best buy, in my opinion, is the 1.4 Trend hatchback.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    The really good thing about the US-spec Fiesta is SAFETY being a FIRST WORLD market mataas ang safety standards nila. The US Fiesta has SEVEN AIRBAGS. The usual six and a driver's knee airbag which is a class exclusive in the US. The US Fiesta's also have very good interior materials unlike our Thailand Fiesta medyo ho-hum pero I have seen worse (Toyota Yaris anyone? )

    OT : Your signature (so is mine) is not appearing the way it did in the old Tsikot Forum. May bago bang requirements to get a working signature? Sir Niky's appears OK. I know senior sya eh.

    Nung bagong lipat tayo it was fine.
