As always, great video, Tish! I’m upset that Ford pulled the plug on the Fiesta and Focus for the US, as the latest generation models are so much better than before. I mean who would’ve ever thought you could get a Bang & Olufsen audio system in a Fiesta?! I’ve driven the previous generation Fiesta with the 123hp 1.0 EcoBoost, and it was such a charming little engine. The heated front windshield is one of my favorite features on my Defender and Discovery. (JLR is pretty much the only manufacturer who offers a heated windshield in the US). The Sync 3 infotainment system in your tester is the same one that’s in my sister’s Escape, (Kuga) and it’s a fantastic system. Super simple to use, a ton of features, and it’s quick to respond. However, I have to agree with you that aesthetically, it’s a little bit generic. And also, the Desert Island Blue paint is 👌🏻. Keep up the great work!!
@interceptor-ss8kb3 жыл бұрын
Wouldn't be too upset by the Focus the mk4 is awkwardly shaped as a hatchback and it's been declining in sales for years in Europe. I wouldn't give it long before it follows in the footsteps of the Mondeo and is assigned to history as more and more people switch to suvs. The Fiesta has also had it's own battle in sales against it's own sibling the puma which has become a big success for ford, alot of people say it looks better and fresher then the Fiesta

@rjm17643 жыл бұрын
Great video, Tish. It's a shame that Desert Island Blue is no longer an option. It suits this spec more than the other colours. I am not a fan of the dash, and, for me, it also lets down the Focus, and especially the Puma. I prefer the previous design, even if there are a lot more buttons. Though, the previous facelifted Focus got the larger screens that helped. I am looking to change my 2009 Fiesta, but will probably go towards a facelifted version, rather than opt for a 2018 current model, or maybe a previous generation Focus with the bigger screen.

P.s. I wouldn't call it a supermini anymore all small cars have grown up now to the size of a medium hatchback, early Focus size so if you do want a super mini I would avoid it. It's taller wider and longer than any supermini I ever owned. If you want a true super mini then you should go for a Toyota Aygo, Hyundai i10 or Peugeot 108. You can't even call the Polo a supermini anymore, that has also grown up and is wider and longer.

Why do all chavs seem to like the Ford Fiesta ST line it's a police stop magnet. I'm sorry but the Fiesta falls short of design Flair that the French superminis have in abundance.. I mean check out those halogen yellowy crinkled fog lamps, no rear LEDs as standard on the ST LINE pre 2021, and the Ford basic alloys, not even a black option for alloys anymore, only bright silver ones or dull grey. The giant un- Sporty steering wheel for starters. At least the mark seven had some of these features. It looks more like a C-Max people carrier these days than a sporty hot hatch. The red piping on the interior of the st-line does not match the exterior sadly. Unfortunately it looks just like any other Fiesta mk8 in the lineup. For the same money you can buy a BMW 1 Series. It's definitely not worth the 20 grand ASKING Price Tag. You could buy a used mid-range Fiesta for around 5 grand that looks similar. 🙄

"Leather-wrapped steering wheel" - you wish! It doesn't even deserve the name pleather. It feels and looks rubbery and foamy and will probably start to crumble after a few years. Together with the low-quality seats and the "ingenious" timing belt that runs within the oil circuit (and might crumble too), it is obvious that this car is not built for longevity. By the way: In the beginning you say it's got 95 hp, then later you say it's got 99. And no, peak torque is not coming in at 6000 rpm, that's more like the number for peak power.
