Got one of these as my first car. Needless to say I love it, the handling is brilliant for a front wheel drive car. Best small car on the market by far.
A little note about the top speed. Yes your speedo says you are going 112mph, but they always slightly over calculate. If you have a GPS, im sure when you are goin 112mph, the gps will be saying 104mph, its more accurate and shows true speed
I used to drive these as I worked for a rental company, I never ever liked the way they oversteer and the throttle is too pokey too soon. You press it lightly to adjust your speed gradually and it suddenly accelerates with an unwanted burp of torque, like Hyundai i30's. It tries to give you full throttle acceleration all the time. Everything you described in the video sounds right and I can't disagree.
Do you guys need to wait little bit after shift into second gear and then push throttle paddle or if I don't wait to revs drop enough and push throttle immediately after shift in second car will jerk little (rpms would go up a little about 100-200 rpm and then drop)? Does anybody have same problem with Fiesta 1.25 82 HP? Tnx for respond!
That is revolting, the old design inside was better. It looks like a Peugeot Speedfight noped has crashed through your dashboard! What was Ford thinking of.
Brilliant video this really helped! i just ordered this exact one and i was looking at the corsa but due to your vid you helped me choose the zetec! 5******
This is the best of its category, once I saw it I knew it was my next car, I'm ordering one next month with that 1.25 litre 82 hp engine. :) Ford has really kicked ass with this new fiesta.
I agree with you there :) My mum and dad bought me the 2009 1.25 82bhp Fiesta and I love it! I havn't passed my test though yet and have to have my mum next to me when I drive it rofl. It's lovely to drive though - such a light clutch and steering it's unbelievable - you'll love it :D
Great video! Awesome Fiesta! We here in the U.S. will finally get the all new Fiesta next spring (2010) as a 2011 model year car. We will only receive the 1.6 Ti-Vct engine. We will get the 5 door hatchback or 4 door sedan. I definitely want the 5 door hatchback.
@caprigxl No i turned it off and re-started it again for no particular reason..

Did the engine just cut out at 4:20 ?? I think 1.25 is the best of the bunch & it does have a nice deep exhaust note.

0 to 60 is 13.3 seconds? I can run faster than your car!
But seriously, I'm grateful for the video. I'll be ordering a 1.6litre 120bhp North American Fiesta in a coming months.
