2011 Ford Fiesta SEL Sedan Start Up, Quick Tour, & Rev - 3K

[pcarleski]

You have to give proper information if you are going to show people cars, the button on the gearshift is Hill Start Assist which keeps the vehicle from rolling backwards while parked on an incline, secondly the transmission is an Automated Manual, it is a bespoke manual transmission that uses electric motors to change the gears for you. It is not essentially a Automatic.

[Intechdude300]

@pcarleski I don't stress automated Manual because it will only cause more confusion. Just Like the CVT in Nissan where on a monthly basis I have people asking me exactly on how to drive a NIssan with a CVT. Nissan still markets the CVT as an auto just Like Ford markets this gearbox as an Auto against the 5MT. Gearbox may function differently but you still select your gear to drive it like any automatic. I believe Hill Start Assist in these is when you're in Drive, not parked :P

@814gt hard touch materials on the dash scratch too easily........ plus it says alot about the workmanship/quality control of the company.... not all hard touch dashboards are terrible though, just particularly GM products...yuck! still though, soft touch materials are superior to hard touch dashboards, and in this day in age, if a SUB-COMPACT car can have soft touch dashboards, any other car from any other class of vehicle should also have this...

[upiluften]

Same upholstery as the Mazda2!

[TaufanDermawan]

Does the rev limiter can be disabled??

[deedundone]

People cant buy a clean diesiel in the US, no, they have to buy the Annoying Loud crappy Planet killing ones lol.

[814gt]

Every automotive person seems to be compelled to comment on if the "materials are soft to the touch"....who cares. Since when was important if the dash is 'soft to the touch' or harder plastic. The mold is either plastic or vinyl. Take a grand of the price of the car for me and keep the dash hard plastic...the 'soft touch' in my audi was great to touch....just gums up with hot sun..hard to clean..heavier material...etc.

[Intechdude300]

@814gt Consider that a car with soft touch dash & in its low price range isn't an easy find so one should appreciate that it has this. You wont be slapped in the face with excessive cheapness

[814gt]

@Intechdude300 Just not really important is all I'm saying. I'm fine with harder plastic.

[deedundone]

@Intechdude300 People need to just be happy with the advances. I drive a luxury car from 1990 and the dash rattles to pieces on commutes and the low gears vibrate the heck out of you. Today you can get the smallests cars, and the lowest end cats, bost with what used to be luxury items!

[MercedesC300161]

Can you do a 2010 Ford Edge?

[Intechdude300]

@MercedesC300161

I did a 2010 a while back but I dont remember If I critiqued it. I'll do another

[MercedesC300161]

@Intechdude300 If you can't find one, don't worry about it, but if you do, thanks.

[2004SiennaAWD]

The only thing stopping me from replacing my 07 tahoe with a 2011 Edge is that MyFordTouch system. It's to complicated for it's own good.

[Intechdude300]

@2004SiennaAWD

Dont opt for it

[mercmilan06]

kinda strange seeing an SEL with SE wheels on it...

[Intechdude300]

@mercmilan06

The Auction can be a Crooked place sometimes lol....

[SubieSean]

oh yeah 2011 and rocking 120hp.

[TJC450]

@SubieSean its a 4 cyl i dont expect too much horse power but maybe like 160

[form109]

@TJC450 the Kia Optima has an Optional 274 Horsepower 4 Cylinder.....and don't even get me started on the Mitshubshi Lancer Evolution and its 320 horsepower 4 Cylinder lol

[TJC450]

@form109 holy shit lol

[maeng97]

I like the Euro versions better than this. The little Ford touches make it a little ugly.

[maeng97]

Can you do the Sienna that was in front of you? You know the Sienna that's better than the shitty new ones? Thanks.

[hondaftw1234]

I like how you said Fiesta, very fiesta like

[fanowner12]

I like the Fiestas, but find the new 2012 Focus more attractive.

[JakeDaSnakeFilms]

I'm not a small car guy, but I actually like these things, I like the hatch version better tho

[Intechdude300]

@JakeDaSnakeFilms

The ST Hatch version coming later ought to be a fast little bugger. With an ecoboost engine under the hood.

[talldude123]

OK I swear at 01:48 that glovebox and vents looks like an eye and mouth...creepy...I don't like this car, because Ford just imported it from Europe and rebaged it. I wish they would actually put thought into their cars like Hyundai and Kia do.

[Intechdude300]

@talldude123

They did put thought into the car, and that was creating a car for the world market. There is no rebadging, its Fiesta everywhere else. They essentially prepped the car for U.S. market by making it left hand drive & offering the bigger engine, & some options which are likely not available everywhere else. The car is not imported from Europe. A Twin Turbo version is on the way as well which is something Hyundai, Kia, nor toyota has yet planned to do for a sub-compact.

[GmTruckCarLove]

@talldude123 Ummmm. Thats no what they did. I even think they make it in the USA or Mexico. Its not just right out from Europe. Its called the fiesta all over the world.

[newandused1998]

the SYNC lady's having a bad day...

[talldude123]

@newandused1998 I would be so so pissed off if I had a car with Sync..I would hit the radio with a hammer, I like to figure out my own radio stations and cellphone.

[2004NissanSentra]

not a huge fan of the styling, the whole car looks like it has ADHD

[integraz32lover]

I Like the way you said Fiesta in the beginning.Btw if i were you i would have cussed at the Sync system lol.

[datpimpinboy]

this is a very nice car for its price. Definitely the best sub compact.

[datpimpinboy]

Damnn that Sync lady was getting rude!!! lmao 

[2Kriss2Kross]

I'm more into the Fit but this is easily a runner up. I'd take the hatch over the sedan, looks like an awkward fish. That Sync was givin you an attitude. lmao

[Intechdude300]

@2Kriss2Kross

Definitely the HAtch, more convenient & better looking. The sedan is frumpy in back. I figured out hitting the OK button shuts it up when not giving it commands lol.

[90Mrknowitall]

Quite a snazzy ride!! Love it in black looks very classy!!! I agree I wouldn't mind driving this at all!! Not a fan of ford bur they nailed everything on the head with this one

[Intechdude300]

@90Mrknowitall

Tho I did say I wouldnt mind driving this for a weekend lol.... But yeah, when it comes to sub-compacts, this is one of the most decent of the the bunch

[TJC450]

ding ding dong ding ding ding dong

welcome to CVS.

[NotARealUTubeAccount]

I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND YOU.

[giannial1985]

Ford's quality is so nice nowadays. Boy, the Sync system got kinda pissy, LMAO!
