NICE! Would? love to do that in my Fiesta! Vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvrooooooooooom!
European cars suck.? Ford should keep this thrash in Europe and don’t bring it here.
I use to own a fit and got rid of it. The anemic engine and the? choppy ride nipped in the butt for me. Now here’s the fiesta, it seems like it can really go and it’s suspension and ride are of good quality. The fit interior by far is the best design in this segment, the fiesta lacks this very important aspect. Why can’t automakers get both things right instead of always falling short on one of both aspects?
@savage5tofu “They are made for people who slouch!” Well because of safety now they have to keep them at that angle so it will absorb shock from a passengers head protecting them in a case of a car accident by absorbing your head? energy and dissipating it which is supposed to help prevent head or neck injury. i’m sure there’s a way you could adjust them to a more comfortable postion.
@smashbrosfan13 i have no clue. Been inside the new fiesta. It’s a good car, but i don’t think it’s as functional as the fit. Every nook and cranny has been well thought out on the fit for storage. And it was their idea of having such a roomy and open cabin? so in terms of interior space the fit wins hands down. Probably in the handling department the Fiesta might win. But day to day i don’t race so I’d prefer the fit because of it’s storage and usability.
So Ford; coupe version or sport version any time soon? Maybe a diesel? I like your car but I have no need for four doors. If you don’t get your act together, I will get a golf TDI instead despite the extra? cost.
@palebeachbum Indeed.
Back in the 80′s when? they first brought them to America, they were garbage.
The engines burned oil brand new off the showroom floor half the time.
Funny thing though, they still lasted a long time.
They have definitely improved the quality of their product over the years.
Not bad for a company with less then 30 years of experience.
Not bad when compared to the big auto makers who have been in business for at least 60 years.
So the Honda Fit and Fiesta are very very similar? Is the handling? the same?
?????????? ????????????????
‘
i? dont like this ford fiesta,,,
it is not good design
@palebeachbum
Just so? you know, Mercedes, BMWs, and Jags there all come with the option of a manual. If you check statistics, actually, manuals are more popular.
Still, the majority of cars in Europe are manuals. The majority of cars in North America are automatics.
I wouldn’t call someone that doesn’t know how to drive a manual a pussy–that’s immature–but I don’t think they have the right to say they can drive.
The only problem I have? with the new cars being produced these days is the angle of the head rest. They are made for people who slouch! I am not one of them! To not have an adjustable headrest is very painful for my neck and lower back. I end up having to turn them around or taking them completely out which is not very safe. In the future I hope car manufacturers will make the headrest angle adjustable in other models.( the seat should conform to the spine making proper posture effortless
fiesta European and American and really pretty. But the? fiesta is a Brazilian shit, garbage.
@anthony6151? Whoop on the topgear reference there lol
in the fiesta you will? actually get more mpg in automatic then you would with manual. this car will be the best subcompact in america in almost every category. its the best looking subcompact in my opinion, and the interior is really nice. for the price, you cant beat it. im sure this car wil do great in the states. i have doubts about how well sync will work tho
I’m not sure what your point is. Hyundai is rated high these days in customer satisfaction. So the fact it’s a Hyundai? is nothing to scoff at. Only brand whores take issue with them these days.
But its? a hyundai dude…
What’s the point of testing a euro spec fiesta, I seriously doubt? ford will just send the car over here without any changes.
yes? you can buy fatty
I told you, check their websites and stop opening your fat mouth ’cause you’re just embarrassing yourself
Fat? LOL? *rolls eyes* Honey baby child, ALL models from those brands are not available with a manual trans in your country, wherever you live. Can you buy an S-class sedan with a manual? Didn’t think so. Case in point.
kid.? You live in the USA. Doesn’t mean we all do. I suggest you check official BMW, Jaguar, Mercedes websites and see for yourself. You fat piece of trash.
Do you make up this stuff as you go along? Laughable guy you are.? Please, keep entertaining us all with your idiocy. If you think all Mercedes, BMW, and Jag models are available with a manual, you are talking out your rear end. Go blow hot air at someone else now little boy.
automatic = no driving experience.? Even a 5 yo can drive a car on automatic.
And where did you hear that Mercedes, BMW, Jag come ONLY WITH AUTOMATIC? Think you had a bad dream, asshole.
Yep, most Americans drive automatics, ESPECIALLY old? people who prefer a more laid back driving experience. So I guess Europeans who drive Mercedes, BMW, Jag, etc that only come with an automatic are pure pussy cars based on your logic. PS, I’m American and I drive a manual, you obnoxious boob.
automatic? you serious? only pussies and grandma’s use automatic. Ohh, forgot,? you’re an american. That figures..
