Review Ford Fiesta Duratorq TDCI Cars Parts 1
The latest Ford Fiesta is such a slick piece of engineering that it largely masks the deficiency in outright pace with its poise and fluency on the road. This is a fine handling car with its variable power assisted steering providing weighty reassurance at speed and a light touch when manoeuvring. The suspension absorbs bumps expertly and in a manner that puts some far larger cars to shame. The Ford Fiesta provides a huge degree of adjustment in its driving position and even lankier individuals will be able to get comfortable behind the wheel. The gearchange is a fraction rubbery but very positive in its action and pleasant to use. Forward visibility is fine but the small rear window and thick C-pillars can present a problem when reversing.
The wedge-effect of the Ford Fiesta in profile doesn’t bode well for the rear seat passengers in the three-door car but the Ford Fiesta surprises with decent legroom and headroom that’s manageable even for a six-footer. The windows are small and set high up, so light isn’t abundant in the back but the shopping bags, coats and road atlases that owners will store there most of the time won’t be overly worried. The five door models fare better with a bigger glass area creating a roomier feel and all derivatives share the same easily navigable control system for their various electronic functions.
All Ford Fiesta share Ford’s ‘Kinetic’ design. Themes as seen on the Ford Mondeo, Ford S-MAX, Ford Focus and others are put to work again but the signature features seem to gain cohesion in closer proximity on a smaller car. The eye is led along the creases, across the cutaway surfaces and the multi-angular effect is highly dynamic in total. The interior styling reprises the edgy and angular themes of the outside, the fascia contrasting soft-touch materials with hard silvery plastics. The Ford Fiesta cars feels modern and is very nicely executed in terms of quality with a pronounced modern feel.
It’s the price that’s going to persuade the majority of Ford Fiesta 1.25 owners to take the plunge. It’s the cheapest way to get yourself into Ford’s iconic small car and for many, that will be a recommendation in itself. You’ll pay just over 9,000 for the entry-level Studio model with the 59bhp engine and three doors. Here, the specification isn’t palatial but you get body-coloured bumpers, tinted glass, electric power steering, a CD stereo and the Ford Easy Fuel System that will prevent you from putting diesel in it during a moment of weakness. Step up to Style trim and the options of five doors and the more powerful engine are opened up. You pay 500 extra for the 81bhp unit. There are also Style+ and Ford Fiesta Zetec trim levels for the 1.25-litre buyer to consider but these are only offered with the 81bhp engine. All Ford Fiesta models come with ABS brakes featuring Electronic Brakeforce Distribution plus front, side and knee airbags.
