The main issue with 1.0l eco boosts is that coolant leaks from the head gasket causing overheating therefore warping the head. However a lot of people don’t check there levels every day. Ford fixed this issue but switching the head the other way round and it worked. So all new engines are fine. The transmission I have no defence for its a piece of shit lol

I do laugh when he says that 5 speed manual transmission is a very small market. Whereas here that's about 98% of the market.

Excellent review, Zack. I'm very intrigued by this powertrain. Great little city car!

A great small car this.. I've got one and it's a hoot to drive! Mine is the 100bhp model with the 3 cylinder ecoboost engine. It's perfectly fine and feels like a 1.6. It's fitted with the manual 5 speed and has long gearing. They say the automatic is good too. Mine is the titanium model which has all the goodies you would need. One thing though that you failed to mention.. It has a great engine sound. A kind of a thrumb that you'd get with a more powerful car.. A an excellent choice if your thinking of buying.. I like 👍

Thanks for the excellent review. I sure would like one of these.

Love this car. I've had one since January (but in a sedan and metal flake black) and I really love driving it and the fuel economy. Took a road trip last week and got 44.1 MPG on regular 87 octane Chevron fuel (I think sold at Caltex in Canada - yes it does actually matter in my experience). Oh, and a manual transmission just sweetens the deal. ;-)

If Im going to buy a luxury sports car like a 2 seater porshe I'll buy it because of stunning head turner looks, Interior quality & comfortability, awesome engine, fully equipped with latest techies and so Fun and at ease to drive and this Low cost subcompact, just got it all. Proud to have it! P.S backseat is spacey dont believe some reviews that says its small. Test drive it for yourselves

Awesome review. I have a 1.6 and love it, but after watching this video I might be switching to the 1.0 once it reaches my country, if it includes any restylings or new looks apart from the engine change.

I live in Orlando...and have a silver 2015 on order right now...get it in about 3 weeks...from other youtube vids looks like I can expect 50 mpg on our flat highways.

Fahrwerkstechnisch für mich die Nummer 1 von allen Kleinwagen, die ich je gefahren bin! Komfortabel gefedert wie im Bus!

Do you think 1.0L has more vibrations than 1.6L? Thank you!

Love this car! We have one!

Perfect review, regards from Serbia.

Got the 1.6 liter love the car feels very roomy inside for a subcompact. And it does have a European feel to it.

Just bought one a week ago and I can't stop making excuses to drive it around. Its like a go-kart lol

+So Sul So it's been a little over a year bow and I recently broke 20k miles. I still love the car. It gets phenomenal gas mileage and still has enough power to get up and go. There really isnt much that I dont like about it, the only things that I can really think of are: *the silver trim inside (painting them next weekend) *the spare tire cover in the trunk is flimsy (cutting a stiffer piece of plywood at some point) *AC causes a noticable difference in performance ( I dont really use AC though) Overall I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a daily driver or anyone who takes long trips. If they made the ST in a sedan I might consider trading up but as of right now I am still very happy and impressed

Shane Cavaliere After 2 years of owning. How about some more pros and cons? Did you get a new car. Or a newer model?

Nice that there is no vibration and super quiet, but Ford went (back) to a timing belt - not a chain to help accomplish this? Have to assume that the timing belt would need to be changed as a maintenance item some time in the future that offsets at least some of the money saved on gas over the standard engine. Plus you pay a premium to get the engine? Don't mind the manual only option on it though - prefer it on this category car.

I went on with the motor Ford Fiesta 1.6 good car!

best looking car on its class, more like a subcompact aston martin, won international engine of the year award 3 years in a row 2O12-14. got five stars on Euro Ncap Safety Rating, 2O14 Automotive Excellence Award for handling, won Car of the Year by topgear and more than 22 other awards and ford used to own jaguar & aston martin

I’m a diesel fan and I’m looking at one of these cars

+Mod Matt The cam belt supposedly last for the life of the engine, as it is immersed in oil. My guess is that if the engine ever needed a rebuild for whatever reason, the belt would be changed.

@NoName-tz5ji

cjmillsnun any high tension belt should be replaced if removed at any mileage. The loss of tension weakens the belt

Have timing belts improved so much that running them through a trough of oil helps quiet them? All the timing belts I've ever worked with have usually degraded when exposed to any oil

@mmiller1188

The video is wrong there. They went with a timing belt to (1) reduce costs (2) reduce drag. It is bathed in oil so it can last the life of the engine; there is no service interval on this timing belt because it is a lifetime. It's of a different material to handle oil. The oil pump is also belt driven. To offset vibrations, the flywheel is keyed and weighted.

My brother and me hit 140mph in this car. But he has the RT or something. Fast car for the size.

maximum torque already at 2500rpm, that is great for cruising and low noise ! 7.5 liter fuel on 100km in the city is not that low, that is average for a car that size.

I just found this video and it looks exactly like our car....lol

Looks like a good car if you can find a manual shift model .

With all the problems Fiesta has had (-182% reliability rating based on owners surveys to Consumer Reports) Id rather have the Mitsubishi Mirage, which has better fuel economy and is reliable.

Thank you for saying that. This is the first Ford I was curious about ever. We owned a focus and it was an absolute toilet from 35,000 on. It was horrible.I bought it with 30,000 on it. I can officially say we owed a ford, Chrysler, and gm car and they couldn't hold a candle to the Toyota's we had. They were awesome. So we only look at the major asian players. I do like and always liked mitsubishi and will look at the mirage G4 when it arrives locally.

This car is now dead, but the Mirage still lives on. The Mirage is a much more superior car, its basic (hey isn't that the point in a sub-compact??) way more affordable, better value when it comes to maintenance and tops this car when it comes to fuel economy. Price, Value and Economy is what Sub Compacts are all about, not toys or power to dazzle your teenagers......I had a Mirage and would buy another one in a heart beat, this Ford is over-priced and misses the mark on what a affordable compact car should be.

Screw automatics!!! Long Live The Manual!!!

@tonythetiger1004 I thought the exact same haha

Developed by Ford in the UK, We know a bit about engines, being the base of Formula One. With the exception of Ferrari, all F1 engines are British designed & built, including Mercedes. I've got an Ecoboost Fiesta, it's a higher spec car, a European Titanium which is slighty better specced than American versions. Its phenomenal - quiet, refined & powerful. The higher octane fuel we have over here probably makes a difference. I wish car manufacturers would put the same specced cars on the market in North America as we have in Europe, you are being short changed, and that's a real shame.

@juffurey

9 жыл бұрын

i think the european models are better specced overall because they are much more expensive than the US models, but i'm pretty sure the new fiesta sfe (american name for the fiesta 1.0L ecoboost) can get all the bells and whistles like the european versions, like the "titanium" package + extra options. what octane rating petrol you usually use? in the US the highest we can get most places is 91, equivalent of 95.3 european rating. maximum octane ratings are dependent on state laws, so it varies.

Ford has really buried this engine in the U.S. It doesn't appear as a vehicle choice. You have to select it as an option. If you try to add anything (like aluminum wheels), it removes the option. Very strange.
