Ford Fiesta Vignale 2018 Full Road Test & Review | Planet Auto

[@scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain]

One thing Ford are good at are Great Handling Little cars like the Fiesta so you can have a little bit of luxury and a bit of sportiness to boot, best of both worlds.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Yes…and now they’ve gone, time to pickup an XR2 or RS Turbo 😀

[@jasoncousins2278]

Brilliant car

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you Jason

[@Unknown-gj2oi]

Is the B&O sound system worth the extra cost over standard 6 speakers?

[@PlanetautoUK]

It was, likely most B&O systems will be hammered now or have you found a brand new Fiesta for sale?

[@andywragg5159]

Hi, I have it in silver ex Ford display CD built in the glovebox and every extra it’s a lovely car my only gripe would be the road noise from the upgraded 18” wheels,Also after your review on this car you said you was doing a extended review if we subscribed was this done ? Thanks Andy.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Good question, I can’t remember - il check Andy

[@andywragg5159]

Ok please

[@PlanetautoUK]

Sadly no, we tested other Fords but never got the opportunity with this, apologies

[@richardcollins586]

I bought a Vignale last weekend, had 5k on the clock. Lovely car, not sure i need a heated steering wheel 😂.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Very nice, the way the weather is currently who knows 😆

[@stevehayes7921]

I've had a heated steering wheel, wouldn't be without it now

[@PlanetautoUK]

Lovely in the Winter months Steve

[@elias03120]

The vignale is overkill for a fiesta. I own the titanium version with automatic gearbox. My only problems with it are that the automatic gearbox and the fuel consumption could have been better (but are in no way bad). Otherwise the car is pretty much perfect. The interior is fantastic (for the price), the infotainment system is one of the best and it drives like a much more expensive car both in town and in the motorway. Honestly it is really difficult to get a better value at this price. Highly recommend this.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you, that’s great to hear, the Titanium trim is very good. We’re currently driving the Focus Active X Estate and this is something else, B & O system, Adaptive cruise and great looks.

[@andywragg5159]

I love those extras mine is fully loaded.

[@PlanetautoUK]

That’s the spec you need 😀

[@andywragg5159]

Can we not add a pic of our cars ?

[@PlanetautoUK]

No not on KZbin 🙁

[@jesserobertsvideos4741]

Wow the leather seats look nice

[@mattsbeamer]

Wow, they have come along way since the old mk1. I do like a bit of luxury myself, so to see smaller cars with toys is great. I wish my f20 1 series had the screen :)

[@PlanetautoUK]

Haven't they, have you owned any Fiesta models? I used to have a Fiesta Mk2 Festival, same dashboard as the XR2 loved it. Yes a luxurious place to be and adaptive cruise control too.

[@mattsbeamer]

Planet Auto lol. Believe it or not yes. I had one when I was 15 along side my e30 1985 318i. It was supposed to be a project as it was crashed damaged. It was a 3 door 1989 F reg mk3 1.1L in diamond white. I never got to drive it as my bmw got all the attention. My auntie got it in the end :) I did get to drive a mk3 once thou when I was 17. It was a late mk3 1.8 diesel. I didn’t like it at all, but I think it was due to driving in a place I’ve never been to before, and my driving instructor was so relaxed he fell asleep lol:) I’m 35 now, so about 20 years ago. Wow!!! Time flies :)

[@mattsbeamer]

Oops I’m 34 haha. How embarrassing haha. I am very tired had to pop over to England to get my new Russian visa. Take care :)

[@PlanetautoUK]

Amazing, that must have been one of the first Mk3's, mine was an E reg Mk2 - crazy, the XR2i and RS Turbo Mk3 are quite iconic today, fun fast cars for the time, and yes it certainly does.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Wishing the time away lol - You should have said, I'm currently in London near the London eye, London Concours Thurs and Friday.

[@forresg500]

i get my fiesta vignale auto ruby red 5 door around sept 2018 i ordered blis cd door protector pre collision parkcar feature looking forward to getting it. may buy at end of 38 month pcp currently got 140ps mk7.5 st line

[@PlanetautoUK]

forresg500 not long to wait now, it’s a very impressive car especially with that auto gearbox. How do you find the ST Line?

[@forresg500]

i have enjoyed the st line - i have liked driving car, extra grunt of 140ps engine, handling and its quite fun drive. i like body kit of st line and seats with bits that hug at side. colour was magnetic very nice when cleaned its averaged around 43 mpg i know auto will be less but dont mind.

[@PlanetautoUK]

forresg500 that’s great to hear, it shows you loved it the fact your staying loyal to the Fiesta. You will live the Auto box it’s very good, very comfortable interior too.

[@forresg500]

i had test drive of titanium auto mk8 before placing order and yes box seemed very good with smooth seamless shifts. some people online said mk8 changes were bit hesiitant sometimes, cant say i noticed this. what is the average every day mpg of auto out of interest?

[@forresg500]

i got auto box and i get around 35 around town and more towards 42 on longer runs 4200 miles on clock after 4 months

[@PlanetautoUK]

Be interesting to see it long term, on the late 2015 model, the car still achieves 44 with spirited driving.

[@forresg500]

got vignale after 8wk wait car is very comfortable, smooth friends all very much like car love spec on it and auto box is very smooth i know it early days but i will aim to get another high spec car when 38month pcp finish i do like vignale spec i have driven various makes over years and l have also driven various supercars at track days yes if i won lottery money i would probably get a nissan gtr and porsche 911 turbo s but for me on my current level of cash very happy with fiesta vignale

[@PlanetautoUK]

forresg500 apologies, this didn’t alert us, the Fiesta has come a long way, great engine and box and more comfortable than the previous gen, a great daily, and have the Porsche and the GTR for the weekend, thank you.

[@Stefan-ey7pu]

Hi man, I'm interested to buy a Vignale. What can you tell about this car after a year? Still the same good impresions? What about gearbox? Fuel consumption? Thanks!

[@colinmorrison1507]

A pity we can't see what the road ahead is like to get more of an idea how it was handling instead of only seeing you two.

[@PlanetautoUK]

This was Millbrook proving ground filming is shall we say limited, we do have the fiesta Active full review

[@forza223bowe5]

Are Ford Fiesta reliable cars?

[@PlanetautoUK]

In a word yes, the 3 cylinder is extremely good, as is the accompanying ancillaries and tech.

[@IsamBitar]

Oh yes it is.

[@m.m.4520]

moi aussi j'ai eu une Ford de juin 2018 neuve pourrie de rouille au niveau du train avant,avec le cuir du siège qui se déchire ,et surtout,comme tu le dis aussi,avec des freins à disques à l'avant qui font un bruit de ferraille en fin de course,et cela ne s'arrete pas! Même le fabricant du système de freinage de ma Ford,à savoir ATE, nous dit qu'ils n'ont jamais entendu cela sur une voiture neuve! Mais Ford dit que c'est normal .On s'affronte avec Ford. Ce sont des lettres que je ne supporte plus F.O.R.D.!

Not as nice as the Fiesta you saw today!

[@albertwolf8808]

ATE Continental Freins à disque avants ATE Continental qui équipent la Fiesta nouvelle neuve actuelle:voyez ,où plutôt écouter ce qui se passe lorsqu'on freine,en terminaison de freinage,c'est assourdissant,à croire qu'il n'y a pas de garniture et que cela frotte plaquette sans garniture contre disque sonore,et ceci c'est tout le temps de l'année,et c'est audible à l'intérieur de la Fiesta,vitres fermées;on ressent même le crissement dans la pédale de frein Pour le chef d'atelier,c'est normal...voyons donc! mais après 36 000 km et 1an et demi à rouler,les crissements de tôle en terminaison de freinage sont toujours làl 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 acheter une Ford neuve
