INTRODUCTION
Since it came along six years ago, the Ford Fiesta has established a distinct identity, expressive and enjoyable to drive, agile and tighten, and thats not something you can say about numerous subcompact cars. It starts as a sedan or a more spirited five-door hatchback.
The base engine is a 1.6 -liter four-cylinder building 120 horsepower. It isnt exactly quick but its snappy enough. It comes with a 5-speed manual transmission, which we promote, or the 6-speed PowerShift automatic, a twin-clutch designing that cant hold a candle to the VW/ Audi transmission.
The large-hearted engineering report is the tiny 1.0 -liter three-cylinder turbocharged engine( manual transmission ), building 123 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque. Its more fun than the four-cylinder to drive with spirit; keep the revs up and youll be a fan. We did this and went more than 40 m pg on a 350 -mile research.
Even more spirit is found in the Fiesta ST, a hot incubate, a pocket rocket with a 1.6 -liter EcoBoost twin-turbocharged four, building 197 horsepower and 214 pound-feet of torque( in overboost mode ). It use a 6-speed manual gearbox, and aspects improved brakes, expulsion, steering and tires. Fiesta ST is ready for a racetrack daylight, something you cant say about numerous subcompacts. Its tournament there might be Mini Cooper S, Hyundai Veloster Turbo, or "the worlds largest" Volkswagen GTI.
For 2016, theres a new interface, Sync 3 changing MyFord Touch for audio, connectivity, and piloting on a touchscreen or with by voice authority. Otherwise, there are no significant changes.
The 2016 Fiesta goes four starrings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in rollover and frontal gate-crash tests, with no back research or overall results yet. The 2015 Fiesta, identical to the 2016 simulation, got only two starrings in the side-impact research and four starrings overall. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety returns Fiesta its top Good outcomes in huge front, backside, back, and roof-strength tests. But in the small frontal offset research, like punching a telephone pole, it achieves really a Marginal rating.
