The Brand New Ford Fiesta

by Vic Hurlstorm on June 5, 2009

If you are looking for a brand new car, why not try a new Ford Fiesta? The new version of the Fiesta has been released to critical acclaim and has sold like hot cakes. After a successful unveiling at various international car shows, the Ford Fiesta started gaining critical attention. Upon its release it didn’t disappoint. What has gained the most of the media attention are the Fiesta’s bold and sporty new looks. The previous Fiesta looked like a slightly scaled down Ford Focus, where as the new fiesta is a complete new entity on its own.

The engine and interior is relatively similar to the previous Fiesta models. That isn’t a bad thing though; the Fiesta has always been a comfortable place to be when driving. There is also the added bonus of sat-nav, Bluetooth and MP3 Connectivity in some of the Fiesta’s various trim specifications. The engines are also fairly similar to previous Fiesta incumbents, the 1.25 Litre petrol option being the standard choice.

As far as drive quality goes, the Ford Fiesta is simply perfect for its price range. The lightness of steering and eagerness of the engine make this a very enjoyable car to drive, whether you are in the city or motorway. It is, however, at its best when cruising through the city streets, looking and handling confident and assured amongst the various challenges with urban driving.

As there are a great deal of models and trims to choose from, recommending the right Fiesta is a difficult choice. There isn’t a huge amount of performance difference between some of the models, other than slightly more powerful engines. I would recommend that as this is a budget supermini, you keep the spec simple and keep costs down. You will still experience a fantastic drive and one far superior to the Fiesta’s competition.

Test drive a brand new Ford Fiesta today and you will physically feel its superiority in comparison to the other superminis on the market.
