I mean you can shit talk on a cheap brand new car, no problem there but take a loot and realise that 1. 2 petrol i minimal gear is 10k here in Serbia and thats a good price for a new car, personally I daily drive the 2011 fiesta that i got 6 years ago used, only thing that failed was a fuel hose betwean diesel injectors 2 and 3. Meanwhile i also own a 10k - Mercedess C205 AMG and yeah its noticable but the problem is finding parking and problem is it gets into the eyes of many people, gold diggers etc, personally i hate it bc people look at you like you sell weed (problems of a poor country) basicly this car is perfectly adequite condisdering its fuel consumption is quite low

All that car and an old fashioned winding knob to recline the front seats! In 1986 my first car was a 1978 T reg ford cortina ghia estate and that had quick release recliners back then and I-ll tell you they got plenty of use! But why after 41 years when their cars had them fitted why in 2019 do they use old style turn knob?
I-m looking to buy a new car and this was starting to tick all the right boxes but when it got to the point where it showed the winders I stopped watching and that was the straw that broke the camels back for me.
Sorry Ford, penny pinch and ask top dollar you lose customers.

Funny how the reviews these days downplay 1. 1L engines. I have a Zetec and despite the lack of a turbocharger, I've had no issues pulling away from junctions or entering motorways/dual carriageways. Sure you can't speed away but let the car get up to speed and it's absolutely fine. Carriageways and motorways not a problem with 85Bhp. If you drive your car properly, you'll be fine. Major benefits of 1. 1L engines include lower insurance costs, lower CO2 emissions, zero turbo lag and generally lower maintenance cost.

This new model definitely has a more logical dash than the old one (infotainment vastly improved) and packs some impressive safety technology for such a small vehicle. However, the quality is very disappointing. The squidgy plastic (top of dash) is less squidgy than the previous model and the door handles creak at the lightest touch. Really naff. Also, the handling isn't as sharp and the steering feels less connected to the road. Overall pretty nonplussed!

Oh, why hello knock off mini Peugeot 3008. It's almost like they saw all the features customers liked of that car. and removed them.
At this point I'm inclined to say: if you like this car: go for the Peugeot 3008 instead.
The only two downsides are the navigation screen and the letterbox rear view but essentially it's the same car that's been squashed down.

Why is that trend that all auto journalists pride those fords for better handling and more fun to drive than Vw, or Vauxhall-s, they are not especially compared to polo or golf
Actually VW-s are the ultimate cars that all other manufacturers should try to keep up as design and performance, only drivetrains are rubbish but that-s another story

I have the Fiesta Active with the same 140hp engine and I did achieve 63 mpg (4. 5L/100km) once, but the car was on economy mode, had to maintain a constant speed as long as possible, anticipate every stop, accelerate (very) gently and not exceed 70mph (110km/h. After 6, 200 miles (10, 000km) the car averaged 45 mpg (6. 3L/100km.

Got a 2019 version at the moment, I was actually surprised that the steering felt a little heavy at least compared to Seat Ateca and a 2018 Clio I have been using allot this year.
And the instrument cluster is kind of strange seems to point more at your chest than your face, other than that though seems a decent car.

Car standards really changed on the past 5 years. Not just in the UK or Europe, but world wide. What ford really need to do is to redesign a new fiesta, like the mkIV to mkV difference (World Wide mkIV and V, as i suspect in UK you guys call the mkV, VI. But then again all they will do is SUVs for now on: (

Modern infotainment systems are such a terrible thing to pay for. They usually look outdated and perform worse than you'd like from day 1 and then proceed to never get updated and age poorly. Might as well spend $10 on a dash mount for your phone instead.
