There’s no shortage of discussions about the newest entry into Ford’s Fiesta line, and people love to talk about all the features that the car brought to the table. At the same time, it also managed to preserve all that made the line so popular until now, so it’s clear that Ford have the right idea in developing this line. Among the many positive points that keep getting brought up, people seem to love the car’s fuel efficiency and its overall power.
It’s no surprise that it performs so good in those areas either, as it now comes with the EcoBoost engine, complete with its turbocharger and direct injection system. And the engine does its job just fine, delivering the excellent performance we’ve come to know it for while also managing to balance the car’s fuel consumption on a good level. Of course, it’s not the most powerful offering on the market and people looking to get some true sense of power under their feet might want to look elsewhere, but in the end, the new Fiesta is not aimed at that market niche in the first place.
Test drive reports have been coming in and they all talk highly of the car, with reviewers pointing out that its 197 horsepower output feels quite good combined with its precise steering in urban environments, and the car is still great to take out on a curvy, winded ride through a longer road.
It doesn’t seem to have any under- or oversteering issues, something that was a point of speculation about the model before its release to the market. This is in part thanks to the car’s auto braking system, which guarantees that the front and rear wheels work in a synchronized manner and don’t interfere with each other. This is actually a major point of what makes the car so good to control, according to some experts, and Ford have done a great job here.
Some have even gone as far as to compare it to luxury models in terms of performance and comfort – and, as we said above, this is definitely not supposed to be a car focused on high performance, but at the same time it does manage to deliver very well on this front. It’s at least adequate enough for the average driver, and should offer a satisfying experience to those taking it on longer rides. This is especially true in light of the car’s fuel efficiency, which should make it a great choice for longer trips and people conscious about their budget in general.
