I have been working and fixing ford fiestas for almost a decade, and one thing I realised is how impressive and godlike the performances of every fiesta gets every year. Despite having an older or a newer version. For me it's a must for every youngster and ford lover!
I've had a 2020 125 and I'm on my 2021 155 MHEV, been the best cars I've ever had (the 155 is crazy for what it is). For the record, Henry Ford would defo be a Mondeo man 🤔
@stevenjervis1184 No, Ford switched to the 2nd gen version of the engine. Amongst other changes, the original wet timing belt was replaced with a timing chain although the oil pump is still driven by a lower wet belt, although this belt was never really the problem in the 1st place. @gavinivers8941 - Yes and no. Ford USA have admitted to an issue that is specific to a certain build (date) range of the 1.0 EB that was paired with an automatic gearbox. They haven't admitted to any general faults i.e. that a wet belt is a REALLY stupid idea in the real world.

Had two of these Mk8s and could not fault them ☺️
Another excellent, objective, honest review. Keep it up! 🙂
All cars in this category are good. There are no clear losers.

Happy with my 2010 fiesta Mk7
The 1.0 ecoboost manual didnt have a balance shaft so the oil pump belt got an easier life , the timing belt thats another story lol
Bmw X3 mark two doesn’t have adjustable seatbelts either and it’s double the price of the fiesta
you did look that swag during that review
What about the 155 hybrid engine ?
Where's the link to the Ford brochure?
Now in the description :-)
Is that not ecoboom engine with the wet belt😢
Haven't Ford finally admitted there is a problem with the 1 litre eco boost engine?

Interested to hear your thoughts on whether you see these wet oil pump belts becoming problematic mr fathead
No , but 1.6. 4 cylinder. was stronger
I think it’s just the 1.0 eco boost 3 cylinder engines that are not worth having?
New subscriber 😁👍🏻
Imagine being reminded you are driving a Ford when you are actually driving a Ford...
its a small car
you get what you pay for
Na, not as durable as they used to be. I can’t believe people still risk the ecoboom engines.
You mean the wet oil pump drive belt? These no longer use the wet timing belt thankfully!
You're being a drama queen, you'll get used to it in no time just like anything else 😅
"who wants a SUV inspired fiesta" apparently all the people who bought a puma, and Ford who killed the fiesta in favor of the puma 😢
