Ford Fiesta (2008 - 2017) 1.6 TDCi Titanium ECOnetic 5d Owner Review

The car seems to drive ok, the engine pulls ok and is very responsive, but the sound deadening could of been better, as i can hear and feel some road rumble at my feet and the exhaust sometimes sounds like its blowing slightly, but its been checked out to be ok. I seem to keep playing around with the drivers position, as i cant seem to get it right & if you are a passenger in the back you get the rear head restraints poking you in the middle of your back. It's just got too many fiddly bits that are not needed, like the stereo console is just messy with too many buttons, and the sound is flat, like its missing a "loud" button to give it a fuller sound, the controls are just not simple like you would expect from a small popular car, the ambient lighting is quite nice but again not really needed and the dash lights up like a xmas tree, where this should of been more ambient as it can be distracting although there is a knob to reduce the brightness. Overall i am disappointed with this car, as its just pointless and unpractical, the 58 MPG achieved when driving careful does not make it worth owning one and i cant wait to get rid of it and go back to a solid built medium sized german car, also expected more refinement from a titanium model.
