    The Mk7 Fiesta is my first (and current) car, and I think the new one improves on all the weak points of the old one, whilst keeping all that was great, although I understand people who aren't too sure about the rear design.

  • @Robjohnson123
    @Robjohnson123 6 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    For me, Fiesta is still king. (I drive the last gen model). Features that come as standard on the Fiesta in Zetec and above trim such as: Quickclear heated windscreen would make me choose a Ford any day of the week. It is so good to never de-ice your windscreen, however never gets mentioned on any car reviews. This car improves on the weak points of the old car, and it may not be for everyone however for most people it will be great. I also like how they’ve improved a brilliant 1 litre engine even more, superb.

    Can't beat a ford fiesta for a small car, I have had them since i started driving, tbh first one i hated (a 2000 model), but the 2006 model was nice and i brought a 2012 model and loved it and didnt need to upgrade but i saw this and couldnt not buy it the inside is by far the best its ever been.... altho the rear parking sensors do NOT come as standard on titanium cos i have a titanium version and i don't have them and was told it was £300 to have them fitted...

    Why do they even bother offering 2 outputs from the 1.1 NA engine with only 15hp difference?

    • @An.Individual
      @An.Individual 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      15hp is a lot in respect to 70

    • @ApurtureSci
      @ApurtureSci 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It's Only Me I suppose so, but it only takes 0.9 seconds off the 0-60 time. Hardly seems worth the effort of offering two different outputs, I wonder what the price difference is?

    Shiny piano black dashboard trim is one of the worst recent design fads. Don't know why car makers think having shiny dashboard trim to reflect sunlight at the driver is a good idea. Looks horrible and cheap IMO. Even some of the more expensive brands are doing it now.

    The Ibiza is better quality? Is this chick for real? The hard plastics in that thing are abundant. It's really a step down compared to the previous Ibiza, whereas the new Fiesta improved in every way.

    • @Aenkor1982
      @Aenkor1982 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Ibiza is cheap plastic all the way. Would not buy it.

    • @ejpurkis
      @ejpurkis 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ‘Hard plastics’ why the preoccupation? They are practical, clean up easily, cheaper to produce. In a family car, you need this practicality. Testers do not seem to appreciate the compromises that have to be met in meeting the price/benefit ratio to bring the product to market.

  • @rrplanb4030
    @rrplanb4030 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It's too big and too high sided for a fiesta. How does it drive compared to the previous model? I bet it's slower and less agile in the twisty stuff too.
    Please prove me wrong.

    • @forza223bowe5
      @forza223bowe5 4 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @soundseeker63
    @soundseeker63 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I don't like the new interior. It looks like someone threw an Ipad at the dash, and the dials are boring compared to the old car. It looks like quality is improved though which is a good thing.

  • @JMB1891
    @JMB1891 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Mixed bag in the looks department, too pricey compared to rivals but no doubt it will be praised for it’s driving dynamics and fun factor. Personally I think it’s too expensive and there are better options available.

      That is true, although the driving experience can't be matched with. Tried all the superminis before making my choice. Also the system is more natural and easier/more ergonomical in the Fiesta. Both are overpriced im my opinion tho.
