Ford Fiesta (2008 - 2017) 1.0 EcoBoost Titanium X Navigation 5d Owner Review

We bought this as a everyday run-around but it has proved to be so much more. Very high spec with really comfortable heated leather seats that have plenty of side support. Sat Nav is good even though the display is smaller than on the newer model but not a problem really. For £300 it had the engine remapped to 154 HP and 190 ft-lbs - all cleared with the insurance at no extra cost. The engine could have taken more but that seemed like a good compromise. Its fast enough at that level and the car can take it. As stated in many other reviews the handling is excellent all be it with front wheel drive characteristics. Economy is still an impressive 46 mpg of mixed driving a lot of which is poddling around town. The engine is now perfect and so far totally reliable. Other things I've done to the car is upgrading the headlight bulbs and resetting the height so now OK and replacing the steering wheel volume control which had become unreliable (covered under warranty). Its an excellent run about but can also cruise for long distances. Assuming that you don't need to move big heavy loads or tow its really all the car you will ever need. We are lucky enough to have many other cars to choose from but this is usually the first choice. Oh and its Hot Mustard so fairly "individual" in a car park.
