Both factories should run similar tolerances and use the same (more or less) common parts?

3 years ago I test drove most of the vehicles in the Fiesta range, Polo, Mazda 2, Swift, Barina and settled on the Fiesta WT Auto. Bog Stock standard Phantom Purple straight outta the Thai factory. Ran up 75K km's trouble free (yes I had the shutter in the gearbox).
I was so impressed that when I wanted to treat myself to some performance. I went straight out and bought the ST, didn't consider a Polo GTI or Swift Sports or anything else for a second.
Been smiling ever since.
P.S. Walked past some Toyota's and just kept walking
, and as for Mitsubishi, two things to remember.... Beware the 3 Diamond Devil, and the last time Mitsubishi made anything worth having it was used as a fighter plane in WWII.
