If I would buy a luxury sports car I'll buy it because of stunning head turner looks, Interior quality & comfortability, awesome engine, fully equipped with latest techies and so Fun and at ease to drive and this Low cost subcompact, just got it all. Proud to have it!

[@alvinsimon0000]

Done numerous comparison and researches for several months and Fiesta is just Brilliant. First of its far more premium looking than other subcompacts. Its interior is very high quality and very classy and very much comfortable not to mention its silent to drive. Its handling is perfect and genuinely fun to drive. Its Fuel efficient, fully equipped with latest technology.

[@catha86]

I´ve done some research too but I am completely new to cars... Fiesta is the best option no doubt. The only downside is the interior which looks shit. I might get the 2017 model just for the interior. This will be my first car and I am counting on this one to last me 5+ years.

[@thecommenter578]

Do these cars have problems with the automatic transmission?? Or is just an American problem?? Im interested in one of these but every forum I visit they say that the automatic transmission is a piece of trash

[@reesedaniel5835]

@@thecommenter578 YES. Get the 5 speed manual while you can. They are phasing it out on almost ALL cars.

[@Harryd06]

As an owner of a 2010 I can confirm the interior is quite shitty

[@pompey174]

I have had a 2014 1.0 (123 hp) Fiesta and it has been brilliant during my 5 years of ownership!

[@MegaVector2011]

Me too. 2014 1.0 (123 bhp) Titanium. Such a fantastic car to drive, like an extension of you. I'm looking to change but hate the styling of the new Fiesta. Yes sure, it has more tech, but the more tech means there is more to go wrong and they have dumbed down the engines. A step backwards.

[@cabinetdrawer2075]

Fiesta 2O14 2O15 is the best car on its segment & the most awarded subcompact in history & best selling Car in the UK of all time it won international engine of the year award 3 yrs in a row 2O12-14. got five stars on Euro Ncap Safety Rating, Automotive Excellence Award for Handling & 29 awards more. It excels on handling, fuel efficiency, safety, best looking car among subcompacts, tech & award winning engine.

[@alvinsimon0000]

Fiesta won another award a week ago

[@JonathanBrettMiller]

Nice quick review hitting all the best points. Thanks!

[@blakesperia]

All reviews I've seen on this car say "the Nokia buttons are looking rather dated." 😁😂😂

[@lffit]

Cant go wrong so nice to drive very stable and the seats are good!

[@GIZALARF]

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.

[@tapesrule]

Fiesta is way better than Honda Fit, City and Civic. Honda fit is painfully uncomfortable front seats for distance travel, Very rough & choppy ride, Wind screen noise is terribly loud & distracting.

[@alvinsimon0000]

Honda's President just resigned because of another killed victim of Honda's Air bag explotion

[@juliancai7613]

For real? Have you even driven a Honda Fit? Fiesta is probably only popular in the uk, whereas fit/jazz is quite popular all over the world. No doubt fiesta is a nimble little car but it’s too cramped, fit is much roomier and reliable. Vtec doesn’t kick in yo

[@CyanOcelot]

Ive been looking for a new car, and after testing many affordable hatchbacks, the fiesta was my favorite. Really comfortable seating for the driver and i loved the smoothness of driving it. The dash board is fairly basic looking, but it has quite alot of goodies compared to my old fiesta 2008 model. Im going to get the 100hp eco boost titanium model with few extra luxuries. Only hard thing i have to decide now is the color and im kind of between midnight sky, candy blue or hot mustard..

[@CarKeysUKOfficial]

CyanOcelot Hi there, thanks for your comment. Good choice with the Fiesta - and if it was up to us, we would go for the Candy Blue. Let us know how you get on when you get the Fiesta in the driveway J

[@CyanOcelot]

Car Keys UK aye, il be thinking about the color, but im leaning on the hot mustard myself, old car was blue, and im feeling like a chance is needed

[@CarKeysUKOfficial]

Make sure you send us a picture on Twitter when you make up your mind :)

[@MegaVector2011]

CyanOcelot Good luck with the car. I've got a 125 ecoboost titanium. The Sony stereo is a bit fiddly at first, but easy once you get used to it and sounds fantastic. The little engine is nothing short of a revelation. I downsized from a 2.0 Mazda 6 petrol, the Fiesta is pound for pound more powerful and has a better chassis. Enjoy it.

[@chevymeako1613]

Celestial blue is stunning though I got red mars because of the promo :)

[@Matty12333]

I have one of these cars, 2010 reg 1.25 petrol. Very nice car, been reliable so far. Have the ford fiestas got a good record in reliability ?

[@Liam-ub5gj]

no they don’t have a good record

[@slickr9887]

I have the 2015 SE manual model for my 2nd vehicle and it's a fun car to drive. My biggest gripe is back window is too low. I'm only 5'10 and I have the seat at the lowest position and I can only see the cars near me. I wish it was an inch higher so I can better see cars coming in the distance on the highway. I have to duck a bit to get a better view which is annoying.

[@MegaVector2011]

Too much electrical stuff in the new one to go wrong. The stuck on the dash sat nav/infotainment thing looks hideous.The styling is a step backwards. The engines have been dumbed down. I'll keep my previous gen Titanium 1.0 Ecoboost 125 with the Sony dab radio unit (which btw is very easy to use if you take time ie. about ten minutes to play about with it). Fantastic car and you can buy an after market sat nav with integrated infotainment for very little nowadays.

[@rossmurrayfam1568]

My old fiesta was the same colour ive bought a 2015 red one now

[@williamwebb6178]

Production of the Ford Fiesta is coming to an end in June 2023

Could someone help make sth clear to me - how is it that an (almost) 18,000€ Fiesta is called "affordable" next to a new Fabia or new Ibiza (at the same price here in Croatia)? The 1.0 ecoboost (100bhp) is a lot slower than the VAG competition 1.2TSI or 1.0TSI with 110bhp (11,2s | 180kmh vs. ~9,4s | 196kmh). It's mpg is also rubbish compared to those (4,9L/100km vs. 4,4-4,7L/100km with VAG). Mind u that I tried to even out the add-ons and goodies as much as I could... TLDR; Fiesta is A LOT slower than Ibiza or even Fabia, has marginally but noticeably worse (declared) mpg, and still costs THE SAME? Why call it affordable?

[@Tomskii5]

The difference is this does not come with a check engine light because it won't need it.

+Tomskii5 haha are u actually saying that its more reliable? Rly? Can u back it up with numbers? Ford is just as unreliable as any VAG vehicle unfortunately

[@Tomskii5]

We've had several VAG products in the family (Audi, Skoda en VW mainly) for some reason all of them had issues (I'm not talking about the engine, but other mechanical stuff going wrong). We've got a Focus for 4 years now with the same engine and 60k km. Haven't had a single issue with the car. I mean maybe VAG was bad luck, but I'll never be buying one of their products in Belgium again, that's for sure.

Fair enough... we've driven a Renault Clio, Laguna, several VW Passats, Ibiza FR and VAG are the only ones without issues so far. Who knows. I'd like to see some failure statistics, but these things aren't very transparent unfortunately.

[@BournvilleCollege-kq2bt]

+carkeys i would defiently buy the ford fiesta thank you car keys and value for money and value is nice and a.ok a.allright . 💖

[@IceCream42]

Shame about the long trim reliability though.. Well, no car is perfect i guess.

[@Matty12333]

How? The Ford Fiesta is very reliable had mine for 5 years, not let me down so far

[@lovelacetom007]

Does it have cheating software ? if not I dont buy! :)

[@Matty12333]

Don't think fords were affected. Just the VAG group as far as am aware

[@GBV1436]

The Ecoboost models are so much more expensive.

[@DestinedRed96]

Absolutely NOTHING about that car looks dated at all! O.o dunno what he’s been smoking -.-

[@niallackroyd7210]

0:49 haha next joke

[@stan_austin]

Horrible dashboard.....

[@cabinetdrawer2075]

bah! another black propaganda lie from competitors, its dashboard is well known for its superb quality material and shock absorbing dashboard for safety. Which other subcompacts dont have

[@Matty12333]

Don't get me wrong the interior is a little plasticky looking, but it's solid.

[@blueboychapple]

My 1997 nl failane is a better looking car than this!!!!

[@Huseyin1422]

Its a biased review. How about the lack of backseats space? You didnt talk about the negative sides at all!

[@cabinetdrawer2075]

The back seat issue is a black propaganda there are dozens of other you tube videos that shows that fiesta's backseats are not a problem, every person who test drive or own a fiesta knows that the backseat including the entire interior comfort is an A+

[@amy2gr]

a year to late, but it is uncomfortable in the back if you are over 175cm. it's the only issue I found with the fiesta.

[@DriftsteinGames]

amy2gr I'm 184 cm and the back seat is definitely not uncomfortable, even with a tall passenger in front.
