Good evening everyone! Thank you for dropping in on this video, be sure to like the video if you've enjoyed it, and subscribe if you haven't done so already.
Nice review! I just got the 2020 Fiesta Titanium 1,0 Ecoboost with 95 BHP. It does not feel any bit slower than the 2017 100 BHP which my brother drives. The new Fiesta Titanium has a sport -mode. The engine reacts super quick in that setting. It feels nippy and with the superb handling and tight steering you can have quite a bit of fun with it.
@@CarObsession I think it does the 0-100 km/60 mph way quicker than 13,8 seconds. The official Ford-specification says 10,5 seconds and a topspeed of 114 mph/183 km. It feels definitely faster than my old C-Max 1.8 with 120 BHP.
had several fiestas throughout my driving life from a mk1 upwards. brought one of these the other month a 2019. properly in my view one of the best fiestas I've owned. the drive is wonderful and fun and very comfy thanks for up loading and well done ford.
Hi Car Obsesion, this is the best honest, car review I have watched, on a ford fiesta, absolutely love ❤ it, well done 👏, thank you. Kind regards Danny uk
Excellent review! I like how you made the subscribe notification not too intrusive. I'd slightly lower the volume of the clicking sound effect, but that's a minor complaint. To those of you that are willing to sacrifice that new car smell, you can wait a few years and buy a low-mileage car for a whole lot less. Rental companies tend to buy the cheapest Fiesta possible with decent equipment, and get rid of them with low mileages (because people want the newest stuff). That's what I ended up doing (Mk7,5).
@@CarObsession You're welcome. If you want to make it super smooth, you can add some sort of quick animation to the subscribe part and make it take up less space overall.
Am I missing something here? Did Ford replace the 100bhp ecoboost that did the 0-62 sprint in 10.4 seconds with a 95bhp version that does it 3.4 seconds slower? That doesn't make sense.
Hi David, thanks for watching. Could it possibly be down to the torque perhaps? Granted, I doubt it's going to be a big enough difference to cause that gap in 0-62, but I'm just throwing it out there. Also, perhaps the slower time is 0-62 and the faster time is actually 0-60. Again, it wouldn't cause THAT much of a gap, but it could be a factor.
@@CarObsession The torque remains the same at 170nm. The emissions however are lower now I noticed. Maybe they've detuned the engine for that and so that consumption can be lowered. As an owner of the 100bhp version I can tell you it is many things, frugal however it is not, especially in city driving.
If Ford brings the Fiesta hatchback with the manual transmission back to America, I'm going to buy it for my next car! If not, I'll have to search for a used previous generation model with the 5-speed or an ST w/ 6-speed. Can you contact Ford customer service and tell them their American customers want the Fiesta and Focus hatchbacks with manual and auto options to return to our market? Thank you! Great review, as always a real pleasure listening to and watching your work.
Also known as "Ecoboom" because the "wet" driving belts have a bad reputation for breaking(even after just four years) and destroying the engine. It's vital that the oil is changed regularly, probably every year year, and that the Ford-specified oil is used.
@@MegaVector2011surely it wouldn’t make a difference where they’re built? Yes it’s probably better quality control and craftsmanship but the design of the engine and components would be the same
Hi so I’m assuming all fiestas hav the Ncap pack? The Trend (2020) I’m looking at had the options you were explaining etc lane keep assist but will it include hill start assist?
Oh blimey, you're really testing my memory as this video was produced a few years ago. From memory I think when the Trend first came out I don't believe it had the NCAP pack and then Ford tweaked the trim level a few months later. I do believe it would have hill start assist, but don't quote me. Thanks for watching.
@@CarObsession thanks for the reply, love the videos ! I ended up buying the car and can confirm it has hill start assist and lane keeping, amazing car I love the colour of the magnetic grey in the sunlight
Looking at new cars and I’ve found a 2017 ‘67 plate Zetec example (same face lifted body) with the 1.0 EcoBoost engine that’s within my budget and seems to come with a lot of the kit as standard. I’m definitely intrigued by the new engine technology. I was always dubious that the smaller the engine size, the less the power - but as you’ve demonstrated that isn’t so much the case any more. I currently drive a 2013 VW Polo which is a 1.2 60 PS which has a similar speed and MPG. I’d be curious to know what the Fiesta EcoBoost engine is like on countryside roads/hills vs urban/town-city driving - I do a lot of both! Also how much is the annual tax? I am also dubious about the space in the back. In my 5 door Polo the space is quite generous, I like you am 6ft tall but passengers always praise the space in the back of my car. Is it notably cramped? Unfortunately I won’t be buying at the moment as I’d really want a test drive before I commit to spending - damned coronavirus! When showrooms can re open again I’ll be getting out to have a look, but thanks all the same for an honest review.
Hi Sam, thanks for watching. The annual road tax (or VED) is £140 per year. I've not reviewed a Polo of your age, so difficult to draw any comparison on rear space. I do work in a German car repair garage so I'm sure I have driven that generation Polo but never needed to sit in the back. I wouldn't say the Fiesta is *overly* cramped but it definitely falls behind cars such as the SEAT Ibiza and the current VW Polo. Hope that helps.
Curious what mpg you're getting in the polo. The small turbo engines are miles off the stated MPG. I have the higher output zetec S 5speed. I would say 40mpg is optimistic. The car spends most of its life on motorway and the lack of fifth gear in the old car does kill economy. My old diesel fiesta Mk6.5 did late 50's all the way. With lockdown I'm getting 32-36 mpg. That's with stop start off and starting the car early and letting it idle with the doors locked (I know that's not that efficient but needs must!). Saying that I love the car immensely, for the low milage (5000) I do it's the best comprise available, no other car will be so enjoyable for the money. I have access to a lot of luxury cars for work and it's genuinely no hardship getting into the fiesta. I knew the sacrifice in economy was there but otherwise the running costs are that of any other supermini, but with 140hp on tap. I'd buy another. If my milage increased I might actually look at an ST!
I know its a bit different specs,but how would you compare Suzuki Swift Sport with Fiesta(with 125 HP)? Let`s say driving pleasure, comfort and as a daily drive.
Good question. The Fiesta feels more refined and more grown up, but you simply cannot argue with the amount of kit that the Swift Sport comes with as standard. I'd say the Swift Sport feels a bit lighter and agile (I don't know the official kerbweights of the top off my head). The Fiesta feels a bit more grippy and assured in the corners, though. I'd argue the Fiesta is more comfortable and it has a bigger boot, so it will probably be easier to live with. Thanks for watching.
I am thinking about Seat Ibiza and Corsa too. I did a short drive test in Swift Sport. I liked punchy engine, but it wasn`t very refined car after all. Never drove Fiesta, but tried Focus with 125 HP. Was very comfortable, but engine lacked a bit of power.I think 1.0TSI engine in VW feel much torquer .

What’s the difference between 100 and 125?

Hi Danny, thanks for the wonderful feedback, and thanks for watching!
I wish they kept the zetec model, it was very good value and looked more premium
Such a sweet motor we went for the 125hp in our Vignale and it never feels lacking. Epic steering and plenty refined too
wait until you drive one, head gasket fail much earlier than your tires worn
@@redonebig88 that was a problem on the early cars definitely

I take it that the 100 BHP has been changed to 95 BHP, is it safe to overtake and not feel too underpowered ?

Make sure yours was built in Cologne. They were built all over Europe, but make sure it's German built to avoid issues.

Is this engine using a Cylinder deactivation technology ? I think that is the difference between this engine and the 100hp ecoboost.
Hi Stojan, no I don't believe this engine has clyinder deactivation. Thanks for watching 👍🏽.
Does this car have cruise control and if so how do you activate it as I can see there’s no button.
No Cruise control. But it can be added.

Thank you Ron 👍🏽
@@CarObsession I had one on loan for the day, fantastic little car
Doesn't the 1.0 ecoboost engine have a history of catching fire?
Yes, but I believe the issue has been rectified. Thanks for watching.
@@CarObsession I don't trust it. Watch the BBC video "Ford owners left out of pocket - BBC London
"
Not many cars can handle like a Ford for the money. It's like they're magnetically attached to the road.
Mine is the same, it can take corners at 30 mph. I have done the same in other cars and nearly lost control
Prefer your reviews to Carwows 👍🏻
Wow, high praise indeed! Thank you! 🙌🏽
