Great video. I owned a 2002 VW Bora 1.9 TDI for nine and a half years until I part ex'd it in August 2018 for a 2015 3 door Fiesta Zetec Ecoboost 100ps . All I can say is WOW. The power delivery almost matches the Bora...it feels no different pulling off from standing start. I've always loved the Fiesta. My wife bought a 63 plate 1.25 Fiesta in March and it has no where near the power delivery that the Ecoboost has. MPG has a lot to do with driving style, and I average just under 50mpg according to the dash readout. Also, don't forget that if you have been driving a bigger car like I was, it would have had a bigger fuel tank, whereas, the Fiesta will be smaller. I do not mind to be honest. The car has everything I need, although, my main bugbear is remembering to switch off the STOP/START..This should be off automatically in my eyes and you should switch it on if that is your preference.Having been a former big motorbike rider, it was always a weekly ritual for me to check my tyre pressures...this followed me when I moved back to 4 wheels...My Fiesta has a tyre pressure sensor, so I can have them at my desired setting and have the car remember this. The car will inform me if any of the tyres start to lose pressure...great feature. Love the DAB radio.Fantastic heater which Ford are renowned for. Heated front screen will be a Godsend this winter instead of freezing myself half to death in the diesel I used to drive. One other niggle...the air con..did Ford have to have it come on automatically when you put the blowers on?. Granted, I know that air con can clear the windows quicker, but that should be the option for the driver to switch on. Other than that, this is a car I would highly recommend, and at ZERO road tax, you cannot go wrong. On a funnier note....did Ford try to instill a little nostalgia for the older driver?...When you sit behind the wheel, why does it resemble ROLAND RAT?...Look at a side by side comparison and you oldies like me will know what I mean..Once seen, it cannot be unseen.
Loved my 1.0 Ecoboost Fiesta for the 18 months I had it but the MPG is no where near close to advertised (As usual) I got a new job with a long motorway commute and was only getting around 43-44mpg maintaining 70mph. Switched to a brand new A3 Diesel and I'm now getting 60mpg. However if my commute was still around the city I'd have kept my Fiesta for many years to come.
This was a good review. I've always found what car video reviews a little boring in some places and the presenters a bit hit and miss and as well boring. It was very concise and detailed which is something that Car buyer are missing a trick on, what's more the presenter knew what he was talking about. No one can match Mat Watson though
Great review as always, I own one of these currently. What I hate is the plastic part of the passenger and driver seat just around the seat adjustment lever, it's now broken because my leg keep getting caught in while getting out of the car! It's not a durable plastic so it breaks easily and now I will have to do some repairs and epoxy it! The other one is the plastic roofing at the top of the back wiper, why Ford, why!? Now it's pretty faded from the sun!
Has anyone had the problem of the wrench light coming on the 1.5 diesel? Ford told me that I don't do enough mileage. It's had 2 oil changes at 3000 miles.
@@ps36081 yeh I know how to do it now I need to keep it over 40mph for at least 10 mins. So when I'm on motorway doing 40 that's why if I travel too quick I will arrive at work too quick.
I've had a 14 plate, econetic zetec for over 3yrs now and it has the upgraded Sony DAB infotainment console, which, while much better than the one in this review, still has many, many buttons.
I have a 2015 Ford fiesta and the transmission has to be replaced for the 3rd time. there are numerous class action lawsuits against Ford on the Ford fiesta DPS 6 transmission.
ATE Continental Freins à disque avants ATE Continental qui équipent la Fiesta nouvelle neuve:voyez ,où plutôt écouter ce qui se passe lorsqu'on freine,c'est assourdissant,et ceci n'est qu'une partie de ces freins lamentables,car EN PLUS ,à l'arret,en tournant le volant à droite, comme à gauche,on doit suporter un craquement métallique,tout le temps.! Pour le chef d'atelier,c'est normal,mais après des milliers de kilomètres maintenant,les crissements de tôle en terminaison de freinage sont toujours làl et aussi dans les braquage de roues à l'arret! Pas la moindre amélioration! Mais ceci n'est pas sans conséquence pour Ford,car à cause de ces ATE Continental,autour de moi,plus personne ne veut prendre une Ford neuve.Qui voudrat avoir,à vie,une voiture qui fait un tel vacarme?! Qui plus est,invendable!

Still one of, if not the best small cars in the market!

I see your comments if from 4 years ago, but ofcourse there will be a difference between a petrol engine and a diesel.

A well designed fun to drive car, I have one it's great!
lffit I've just bought one yesterday.cant wait to pick it up
good luck wish I had bought a 4 door only regret, 2012 model 5 years old now no faults under warranty, 70000 kms now!
I just got one yesterday. A used 2015 SE 5 speed. I absolutely LOVE it!
1.5tdci is great, I had that engine in my 2017 Focus. From 16k to 118k miles without problems.
Shanjan Usman: NO! It still looks better than any other compact car on the market today!
Great little car, very fun to drive. However, the 1.25L engine seems to drink fuel like there is no tomorrow.
How much mpg can you expect please
@@hello-jc1rx about 35 mpg
Very good car❤❤❤
Do you drive mostly urban?
@@GoogleGebruiker Yes,mostly
Looks beautiful and such a stunning vehicle, hopefully I will be able to get my hands on it one day.
Best subcompact ever
Can anyone help with the information with the objects strapped into the left side of the car. Are they items for a spare safe saver wheel
It's probably the safety triangle kit and tools to change the tire.

I have a 1.6 and don't drive a lot never had a problem
@@Ismail-rp3fq because it's a petrol
Diesels need to be driven.
Does it have a diesel particulate filter (DPF)
@@ps36081 yeh I know how to do it now I need to keep it over 40mph for at least 10 mins. So when I'm on motorway doing 40 that's why if I travel too quick I will arrive at work too quick.

Production of the Ford Fiesta is coming to an end in June 2023
Very good car!
A great review
great for a first car
Its on zee nxt car list😅
52.3mpg diesel? Thats way below a Honda HRV. I would go for that instead.
Nice car, but the build quality is poor the A pillar rattles like mad, when you go around a corner you near creaking noises
? I never got that
Nasty dash imo..
Nigel Swan?
Ah yes! The famous motoring "expert".
Wonderfuo! What's up, violet guiltless What's happening, guys3 1!
hope it comes 2 india
Balaji Chandrasekaran you wish lol paxi
The automatic gearbox is trash.
I have a 2015 Ford fiesta and the transmission has to be replaced for the 3rd time. there are numerous class action lawsuits against Ford on the Ford fiesta DPS 6 transmission.
Imagine using an automatic lol
Dont get get the 1.0 eco boost worst engines ever and just yesterday spoke to someone ford wanted 1900 to do cambelt

1.6 tdi is better
Honda HRV better choice
It seems outdated in 2016 this version has been around since Oct 2008. Let it die now.
NO! It still looks better than any other compact car on the market!
Not to mention nothing has caught up to its steering and handling.
