[Ellis324]

5***** great ford!

[calendar11]

I don't like it's side head airbag. If your head during crash is bended forward, it may not do it's job. I think it should be like a curtain as in most of the cars.

[sulfura3]

@calendar11 In case of an accident, the seatbelt pulls you in an upright position.

[megagroup1986]

้How is it if test drive speed at 120 km/hr

[streesmut70]

@megagroup1986

Fiesta are a half or full of T.O.D. (Trap of Death)

[fez77zef]

Better than most volvos that

[215alessio]

Fiat Punto evo's frame stands up good :)

[sinminman]

I love all these comments like;

"I h8's teh FORD BIOTCHES tey BUILD teh shit carz"

or

"Fuck that shit, that car is tiny, who drives them? Fucking fags! - I have to drive a fucking massive truck as it proves I'm a MAN. A MAAAAAN DAMNIT!"

Hilarious!

[pef286]

I wonder how the U.S. version would have performed. I know the U.S. has differernt crash standards. (better or worse?) I have a 2011 U.S. spec since I live in the U.S.

[JackBandicootsBunker]

@pef286 Well, I live in Argentina, and we receive the US-spec Fiesta as well, but with only one equipment option: Titanium, which has 7 airbags, ABS, and many driving aids but I think it lacks ESP. I'm sure the results must be similar, maybe better on a frontal collision, since the front bumpers are larger and probably better shock-absorbing (Due to that the European Fiesta is under 4 meters long, while the US Fiesta is over 4 meters long)

[streesmut70]

@JackBandicootsBunker

1) I'm in Thailand , I have a Ford assembly are assem. Fiesta and export to ASEAN , Australia and South Africa but for Thai version are get only dual Airbag,ABS but I have ESP standard in 1.6L engine

(in my country are have 1.4L version)

2) Fiesta for European market available only 3 or 5 door hatch

[JackBandicootsBunker]

@streesmut70 That's still something remarkable. Mercosur cars lack dual airbags and ABS. They will be mandatory for 2014.

It would be nice to get a Thai Fiesta over here, because with that equipment it should be a bit less expensive, and thus Ford might sell a bit more (a Fiesta Titanium's MSRP is of 20,000 dollars here). What I would like to know is if the quality of the materials used in the assembly is as good as the Mexican/European models.

[streesmut70]

@JackBandicootsBunker

Fiesta in Australia are get 7 airbag as US or Europe model (Made in Thailand) but for Thai version are get only 2 airbag (front)

[JackBandicootsBunker]

@streesmut70 For me 2 airbags, ESP and ABS would make for a base model here, and it would sell like hotcakes if correctly priced.

We get the US-spec design, built in Mexico, with the full equipment, and it's the only version available here. As for the Fiesta Sedan, now there are two equipment levels, which are similar to the Titanium one.

[olgaderwaldfee]

has hard airbags ;) they hit my face by a crash >.<... but very nice car !

[Mthtmty]

The windscreen didn't even smash in the frontal impact. That's really good! But i'm a Vauxhall person. I'll stick to the Corsa. :)

[rcrocker02]

yo fear946... how is 29 mpg city and over 40 highway sucking down lots of petrol? a fucking prius struggles to get that if it wants to even remotely keep up with traffic. diesel models are slow as hell for the most part even tho they do get better gas mileage. and by the way it wasnt built for the american market first, it was built for the european markets first...therefore they built them to their standards not regular cheap standards...learn ur shit before you speak up man

[fear946]

FORD MOTOR COMPANY ARE FUCKING CRAP,,,THEY BUILD SHIT CARS AND DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THERE COSTOMERS.OH AND I FORGOT THERE AMERICAN SO THEY SUCK EVEN MORE.

[derbigpr500]

@fear946 This Fiesta has nothing to do with america. Its a european car.

[gonzatunero]

@derbigpr500 Yeah, why don´t we move Ford from the US to Europe too?

[SinclairisCool]

Five stars people. This is a great car for both men and women. Reliable, good looking, cheap to run and maintain.

[fear946]

@SinclairisCool u meant to say this is a piece of shit called a ford,,,its not reliable and it drinks petrol and its american.

[Atheismrulez]

It did rather well for a car of its size. I really like this car. SO MANY people have wanted for it to come here to the US. Here, in PR, it'll be released in about a month.

[fear946]

@Atheismrulez crap car from a crap motor company

[hermwithaG]

Fords are awsome

[fear946]

@hermwithaG are u on crack cuz if u aint your in trouble.

[jaffacake1578]

most beautiful supermini, and best designed. also look at that pole test, most bigger cars crush a lot more and the roof folds up more.

[ZeZao93]

Esre carro é muito bom em termos de segurança mas nao aconselho ninguem a experimentar bater pois mesmo devagar doi no corpo e na carteira. Tive um desastre com ele que ultrapassou os 7000€ por uma larga margem e o responsavel pelo acidente fugiu.

[dahgutone]

Wow looks good. But put that on an American roads it won't be that safe. Fiesta vs Large SUV or Truck. That goes the same thing with the Honda Fit/Jazz and Toyota's Yaris.

[jaffacake1578]

@dahgutone no this car is different. the only fiesta going to america is the 2011 version, which has fords new ips system and it has 7 airbags including a knee airbag, so if the dash comes back, your knees wont get squished, also this cant really happen anyway, as ford have made higher and stronger chasis members so that it would match the same chasis mambers or come more close to it, so the 4x4s wont override the car

[dahgutone]

@jaffacake1578

HMM thanks for the info.

[jdoge13]

Videos like this are so scary! I've been in one major wreck. I'd kinda like to see how my 1997 jeep grand cherokee looked being smashed up in slowmo. haha.

[Lexlus42]

Ok good results now crash it into a Mondeo.

[jaffacake1578]

@Lexlus42 ok, and it will be fine, since ford are smart and they add an ips system to every one of their cars STANDARD.

[DieKaputte]

this car saved my goddamn life yesterday. i was hit by another vehicle on the left side at tempo 70 km/h. me and my boyfriend feel fine. some other cars wouldn't have saved us, I guess...

[NewYorkCityBoy123]

@DieKaputte The car hasn't even been released to the public, dumbass.

[DieKaputte]

@NewYorkCityBoy123 sorry I couldn't find a video from 2004 fiesta. and sorry I was just out of my mind the morning right after the crash and didn't look up if exactly this car was even released... shithead -.-

[Jinxedbeyondrepair]

@NewYorkCityBoy123 That is uncalled for. Plus, DUMBASS, this particular model has been in Europe since 2008.

[dahgutone]

@NewYorkCityBoy123

In Europe it has.

[aferre]

@DieKaputte Nice u are ok,that was a dngerous accidnt!

Once hd an accidnt w an old Fiesta on a mtrway,I thought was nothing,just was feeling scared,bt nthing more...I tried to open the door to see if the cr was fine but i couldn't...sme seconds lter saw 1 motorway worker(was late night in a works zone so only he could hve seen me) knoking at my window more scared than me!The driver side was very damaged (fortunately reparable)A good car makes look a big crash outside how it were a small crash

[Benjimindle]

why do ford make their cars out of tinfoil?

[94ludecrazy]

In the U.S. 85% of crashes are between an S.U.V. and a car.

[haycm001]

@94ludecrazy S.U.v drivers are fat and lazy too busy on mobile so they kill ppl

[M110danny]

it just bounce???.............

[mozillafirefox090]

Y cual fue la nota o calificacion? 4 estrellas, 5 estrellas.... ?

saludos.

[Mikelpires]

@mozillafirefox090 Fueron 4 estrellas por la falta de refuerzos laterales.

[mozillafirefox090]

Gracias por la aclaracion.

saludos.

[iamccdiaz]

i think is more safe than seat ibiza!

[marksapollo]

Haha, I've brought the new ZetecS Fiesta and have only just watched this video!! I didn't opt for the curtain airbags but it looks very safe I must say.

[marksapollo]

Wow, just read some of the dickhead comments on here! You guy's really are intelligent and mature eh? And a fact you may not want to know, it's still a fact that ANY big four by four of road car (Think Range Rover) can easily kill you if you are in ANY other car that is NOT a four by four. So why worry about safety? The safest thing you can do is not drive like a cunt.

[1ns4ne1d10t]

...Or a large van @ 2.5/3.5T like a Mercedes Sprinter or a Renault Master. Its not just Range Rover 4x4's that kill everyone else. Large Vans can do just as much damage if not more to a car than a 4x4 can. I had a large 411 Mercedes Sprinter for multidrops & I hit a brand new 09 VW Golf with it on the motorway. I was fine while his car was written off & he was taken to hospital in a critical condition... I was absolutely fine & so was the old Van. So much for 5-stars & curtain airbags.

[bousy400]

@1ns4ne1d10t

BOOOOOOO

[1ns4ne1d10t]

Boooo all you like but a vehicle that weighs 3.5T (heavier than a RR) like my old LWB 411 Mercedes Sprinter vs a 1.5T Golf that is less than half the weight, can do some serious damage to it & the driver weather its got 5-stars or 2. It certainly taught the idiot in the 2009 Golf a harsh lesson about trying to barge something that is larger than a car off the road turns vice versa. Oh he had to pay for my damage & he has to appear in court facing charges on the crash as it was all his fault.

[bousy400]

BOOOO someone is so poor until he cant afford a proper car and compares to his old grand father clock... BOOOo baby Booo. Can I be the Jury? Anyone In?

[1ns4ne1d10t]

I had BOTH you great tit! Vans are far more useful than cars & its probably far too big in size for a woman like you to handle so maybe its best you stick to 4-wheeled ants. You would climb up the cab of a Mercedes Sprinter & shit yourself " Oh Its too high & Its too wide please carry me back down dad" It wrecked a brand new Golf & injured the child driving it so I'm all in favour of size.

[bousy400]

OH what did you say? someone did a drag race with a ford fiesta with you and you lost ? oh my~ what a pity.. thats what i heard BOOO cry baby~

[1ns4ne1d10t]

You got the story wrong you plank... Read properly or is it that you Fiesta lovers can't read because you are that dumb enough to buy a shitty Ford. Someone tried to race me in a white TI-VCT Ford Siesta Zetec-S 4 months ago & he lost miserably. Someone last week, tried to race me in a Ti-VCT charcoal black colour Fiesta Zetec-S & got left standing because I have spotlessly cleaned my EGR valve out & added a 200Bhp remap to my car. You see, Fords 1.6 Ti-VCT can't even beat a stock Diesel!

[jrd476]

Why the f*&k are you driving around in a van, and what prompted you to search for this video and leave meaningless comments anyway??? Of course when a 10 tonne truck hits a 1 tonne car it will most likely obliterate it! The reasoning behind these crash tests is that most people drive around in normal cars, and hence accidents are therefore most likely to occur with a similar car. If someone wants to bombproof themselves they can always buy a tank!

[1ns4ne1d10t]

Unfortunately most people drive cars & thats the problem! Vans & lorries have work to do. Cars just aimlessly clog up our roads to go Xmas shopping at Asda or Ikea. I have to sit there in traffic behind dozy old men & women getting later & later with my deliveries because they choose to wonder round in cars aimlessly polluting the air. It really really angers me when aimless car drivers clog up the local shortcuts used by Taxi drivers & Vans only to arrive at Tesco! drives me insane that does!

[bousy400]

Totally Agree!

[palebeachbum]

Wow, looks very safe! Can't wait for it to be introduced into the US in the next year or so. Mom is thinking of getting one to replace her old Volvo.

[chavitavb]

they say this car is made of boron steel

[appelseed101]

its a car......a machine...... it gets you from A to B safely, its great on gas...and quality built.....both men and women can appreciate that...

sounds like too many of you are hung up on how you would look behind the wheel.....and not the actual purpose of a car

[bousy400]

@appelseed101

TOTALLY AGREE!! Volvo cost more than $40,000 and fiesta cost $17500. I am not that rich anyway so I will still choose the fiesta, its Awesome!

[fear946]

@appelseed101 um its great on gas....what..i think your mistaking it to a honda lol.

[supercooled]

@appelseed101 To be fair, isn't that what manufacturer's are catering to? The superficial people? I think if we only cared for the utilitarian aspect of things there wouldn't be so much emphasis on introducing new models every few years. Along with the technology, we also want a refreshed styling. I put about as much attention to the looks as I do the other aspects of the car but at least we can agree the car does present a value package.

[rossyp2k6]

@appelseed101 personally, im going to have to disagree with you on that one, having just got rid of mine after owning it from brad new for 7 months, mine was a 1.4 litre petrol, and from a full tank of petrol, i got less than 230 miles which in all honesty, is pretty poor. then i have had to for out over £500 just on new tyres as they were keep getting punctures, possibly due to the abysmal state the roads are in over in britain. just chanded to a bmw 3 series and can honestly say its amazing :)

[WeAllGonnaDieAlive]

not wondering they make okey crash test these days, they can take all the technology from volvo as they want. ford is basicly a crappy car.

[1ns4ne1d10t]

Oh god! don't say that. Its against the law. Fords another form of Ferrari you know. You shouldn't mock them they CAN build cars & they CAN make engines. Hold on? no they never... Mazda makes the Zetec & duratec Volvo made the 2.5T, PSA made the TDCi & still do. What does Ford do? rake in the cash & sell piles of overpriced crap to mugs that buy them.

[1ns4ne1d10t]

hmmm 5-stars doesn't mean its a totally safe car, Ive already seen a black 2008 Fiesta with an engine fire in hedge end. It was next to Jessops and the girl who had it was crying her eyes out! I wanted to stop to video the whole thing to show on here but they blocked off the A334 going towards the M27 and I couldn't stop anywhere to film it! shame, it would have been great footage to show to people who think Fords are the safest cars ever made!

[treaklpoo80]

this happened to me and my boyfriend today, it well hurts and we wer going faster, we r ok tho, just well sore :)

[1ns4ne1d10t]

What a beautiful crash test - It looks so uch nicer when its crashed! Ugly little Fix-or-repair-daily Siesta

[jaffacake1578]

id like to see you design a better car! (comeback aimed at 1ns4ne1d10t)

[1ns4ne1d10t]

funny you should say that! I am a car designer!!! seriously. I know better than to design awful cars like that!

Its not a very good comeback, Ford owners are retards who chuck money away willingly and beleive Fords feel the difference adverts... well actually its propaganda! and while they are brainwashed, they end up buying these First on rubbish dumps!

[jaffacake1578]

oh sorry, what car are you designing at the moment / or have designed?

which car company do you design cars for?

[1ns4ne1d10t]

No I don't design for a company, not officially. I do it on 3-d frame wire graphics. Im just finishing my 2009 range, ive got the Sieronna and Sieronna 4x4 to hand! The Sieronnas my Mainframe Ford Taurus/ Audi-A6/BMW-5 Platform Car I have loads of them

[1ns4ne1d10t]

Vehicle Sizes are measured in Audi platforms: Desire/A-3 Inspire/A-4 Sieronna/A-6 Aspire/A-8 They all go right into XYZ but these are the basic ones I started from 5 years ago

[1ns4ne1d10t]

Terrainius/BMWX1, terraineo/BMWX3, Sieronna 4x4/BMWX5, Ridge/Dodge RAM

[whattheheck1000]

Ford rocks and you know it!

[bousy400]

Wow million air

[bousy400]

maybe he is a car designer of toyota yaris or new Holden barina (corsa)

[jaffacake1578]

yeah lol

[bousy400]

Wow we have a car designer, excellent

[bousy400]

Well, a 5 star euro ancap doenst mean the car is unbreakable if you are a designer you should know that, and if you are a designer of a car manufacturer you would know that this is a supermini which performs as well as bigger sedan cars. Kinda amazing how people can act. But this new ford is amazing but not the best everycar have thier faults of course. nonthing is perfect. =D any questions? or disargreement anyone?

[1ns4ne1d10t]

Thats correct yes, It doesn't mean its unbreakable! But this wasn't the only supermini to get 5-stars in its class. So did the Seat Ibiza and others. Ford only copied the Punto Grande and fussed about with the looks, nothing to worship it about! Its a frickin Curvey-Girly looking piece of shit!

[1ns4ne1d10t]

I have got no-problem with the female orientated design concept of a 2009 Fiesta... however, I do have a problem with men being attracted to this car! men can't seem to see what people think of them when they drive it! do they look at me because I look attractive in it? or, do they look at me to see if ive got a boyfriend sat with me?

[1ns4ne1d10t]

All small cars like Rover 25's, Corsas, Fiestas, Clios are frickin womans shopping cars!!!

[bousy400]

Wow You are so Pro car designer, All hail to the car designer of the century. Hail hail.....

Maybe a fiesta drag race with him and he lost thats why he is furious about small little super mini

[1ns4ne1d10t]

funny you should say that, you are frickin pshychic I swear you are! I did actually have a drag race with an 09 Fiesta zetec-S 1.6 16V at the windhover roundabout 4 days ago from this post! Guess who whooped ass?

[1ns4ne1d10t]

... well who would be stupid enough to try to overtake a 1.9TDi Seat Leon FR at a set of lights when they have a 1.6 16V sport? A stupid spoilt kid in an 09 Fiesta might? Only he got his but kicked by a t/diesel FR not once, not twice, but everytime he tried to pass me he was choking on my Diesel smoke

[1ns4ne1d10t]

He was dropping back about the rate of 5/MPH less after 60/MPH then when i reached 6th gear he was falling back like a dead fly! So what were you on about when you said I lost to a Fiesta? I don't think I did lose somehow! I think I may have won?

[kikecacique]

ford is making great cars on europe: the best are focus fiesta and mondeo, but the focus c-max is really great too

[Lasse3333]

The S-MAX is a great car too.

But yeah, your right with the other ones :D

[kikecacique]

i agree, and i had seen that the new Ford Ka has a good performance and security.

i have ford fiesta mk6 (the fiesta before this one from the video) and it has a 4 star rate, from 2003, i think it was good too

[wzweverink]

5 star NCAP rating is great!

@PetroSSLP: American Fords usually break into pieces, you like pieces better?

[PetroSSLP]

.... i like the american ford better!

[DaniAmur]

That's the only thing this car is good for. xD

[Yggdrasil333]

Ottima!

[khe65]

what about the new capless fuel filler? if it flings open in an accident wouldnt that be a risk of petrol fire in accident

[bouxesas]

No because it has an extra seal inside. It opens only when you put the gas hose in. It's like an eye lid.

[momcilosavic]

The II fiesta was really breakable, but this one is great!!!

[sspope]

This is my favourite supermini. This and Peugeot 207.

[fcof90]

gran bella macchina!!! per lo più resistente ....

[ventureandcivic]

very safe car
