thanks for the great video..I have a cabin about 30 minutes from the gap...guess I will have to buy the fiesta since I sold my 92 miata ..looks like a fun driver and functional . The old miata only had 90 hp but was geared perfectly for driving fun...in a small car you don't have to do 90 to have a great time driving !
What a great video you made. I was annoyed when Ford stopped making the Focus in a wagon. Now I have found a replacement, the Ford Fiesta. What a great looking car!
If you have the Mountune package, then it's 140hp and 7.9 to 60. But since you don't have a chrome muffler hanging under you back bumper I'm sure it doesn't have the package. You had that much fun with 120hp! ;)
yup you are correct we were incorrectly informed of the hp / 0-60 time during our training for the fiesta movement. it's still a blast to drive with only 120hp.
Cool...I had no idea Ford had a 140 hp version available yet. I was under the impression that the 1.6 Ti-VCT engine that's in all the Fiesta Movement cars was the most powerful gasoline version available in the current Fiesta. I know there's been rumors of a possible 1.6 EcoBoost engine producing 150-160 hp for a future Fiesta ST but there's no official confirmation of that yet. Wonder how you guys landed a more powerful Fiesta than the other Fiesta Movement agents?
actually nick may be incorrect. i don't think we have a different fiesta from the other agents. but we were told at traning that the 1.6L has 140hp. but you are correct gibbsred07 everything i can find says 118hp for the 2009 eu spec fiesta. i'll have to ask the guys at ford which is correct - charlie
ya, I did some more checking, and as Charlie mentioned , our version does have appox. 120hp motor, but we're certain we were told our fiesta had the 140hp setup. Sorry for the mistake.
outstanding video guys! We think on the same wavelength. As far as mission video's go, this is probably one of the best one I have seen yet. It is packed full of real car data and real driving, not just silly fluff. Job well done. Also, my cat is really enjoying watching the video. She is sitting infront of the computer watching.
The Tail of the Dragon is pretty sweet, as are many roads through TN/NC/VA in the Appalachians. Great video! Perhaps a gravel road e-brake slide through a hairpin?
the dragon rocks, i think one day we may do a piece on the 10 roads you must drive in the u.s. and as far as the e-brake slides, lets just say they're coming soon. ;)
ZTEC!

@SpeedingStudent google fiesta ecoboost. you'll find your answer

@burnoutradio I pray to god you are correct.
I know the UK and Australia gets the 3-door, but we in the U.S. are denied.
I would love a Fiesta ST or RS. Ecoboost Fiesta would go poaching Abarth Fiat 500s in 2011-2012.

When has the Fiesta ever had rallying routes? You're getting the focus confused.

At 2:52 Nick says the 1.6 liter motor puts out 140 hp. I thought this engine's output was 120 hp. By the way, great vid! Nicely done.

The standard 1.6L Duratec motor is 120hp, but there is also a sport tuned 140hp version. We were told we had the 140hp.
