Davyo Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) Mrs f/c is after one of the above so what would you go for out of the 2 looking at a 2012 or 2013 year petrol cheers If you can get your hands on a ecoboost (125bhp) get one.Wife has the Titanium X,Full leather,climate control,cruise cont.Goes like stink,she has put 20k on since new in Nov 2015 no issues what so ever.Puts a smile on my face everyone drive it and I've had some big motors. Get yourself into a Ford dealer and take one out and it will all become clear.The 125bhp not the 100bhp one as the 125bhp has lots of modification options through Mountune (won't effect Ford Warranty) Potencial to take it up to 202bhp depending on what you want to spend.But to be honest you will be blown away in standard format. Plus £0 road tax on a car reg be for April 2017 and supposed to get 67mpg,we have only managed about 62 mpg once @ 55mph with cruise set on the motorway. Sue has had one of the Mountune upgrades but still getting just below 60mph and she drives it like a go cart.

Davyo Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) That is bud but might be a bit much for her its only going to be a little run aroundHave you thought about Diesel Fiesta,had one of those before in Titanium spec.Great MPG and plenty of go in the 1.6 tdci. Don't have any experience in the other petrol engines.I initially popped into ford to trade in the Focus Tdi we had after the Fiesta tdi for another Tdi fiesta as Sue likes the road holding in them.Salesman said he had a Fiesta Titanium x outside but with the ecoboost engine.Took me out for a look at the spec as we'd only had the Titanium before.He then said I know it's not the deisel your after but you can have a spin out if you want.When I got back he asked me what I thought.Hiw quick can you get me one in was my answer.

Sprinter Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) Fiesta ecoboost by a long way. Equivalent corsas are complete cack... Oh and if you're thinking of going French the small engined clios are significantly worse than the corsas!

eastdevon Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Ford fiesta is more economical than the petrol Corsair, only time i would go corsa is with a diesel. Have an Astra 1.7cdti myself and only happy with it now as have had an eco chip fitted in computer so now hitting much better mileage per tank. Me mother's fiesta is a 2013 model in petrol don't know what size engine but it go like a rocket!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
four-wheel-drive Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Is there that much difference in any small car today I think that they are all much the same unless you get a bad one and that could be any make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason4796 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 100% Ford Fiesta. in my personal opinion I would rather get a push bike than a Vauxhall Take a look at the amount of awards the Fiesta has won over the past 8 or 9 years, its impressive!
