Rich Groot takes the Fiesta for a short test drive

Is it just me, or does this engine sound really nice for such a tiny thing?? Such a smooth sound. This is coming from a 2010 Mazdaspeed 3 owner!

@grado1000 yeah, the Fiesta does have a very nice sound to it. The US car is much quieter, which is kind of sad since the 1.6L Ti-VCT engine sounds really nice. The car had a decent amount of intake roar and a good exhaust note. The US Fiesta is too quiet for me, so an exhaust from FSWerks will fix that!

@BRGT350 Yeah, that's a bummer. I guess many Americans are losing their sense of what I call "car individuality". That means they just want to fit in and not do anything different to their cars (ie exhaust...). Thanks for posting!

@grado1000 yeah, too many people want their cars to just be a method to bring them from point A to B with the least amount of interaction. I would rather have lots of interaction with the car, hear all the mechanical bits working, feel what the car is doing, and become one with the machine. The Fiesta at least stands out with looks and driving dynamics.
