Ford Fiesta 5P 1.6 Tdci. New Launch 2011 Ford Fiesta

This time touches a test of car within reach of all, the new Ford Fiesta. Of entry I say to you that it is a question of a model that it has improved many of the miseries of the former model, and that places like very appetizing. A shame is that someone has not stopped doing his duties, since it has a couple of failures of bundle, and in full 21st century they hit a bit.

 We prove the version more facing the sale, 1.6 TDCi with finished Ghia Titanium, the most complete (though it is one to say). Of his forefather I said that it had lights and shades, and this one does not get away itself from the above mentioned description.

 The break with regard to previous Fiesta is clear enough, this one has a much more modern design, and does not want any complex: the oval of the knob is much bigger. Since we speak about the ceiling range, it has some aesthetic elements that him make stand out more than a Fiesta against minor equipment.

For example this one has bigger tires, you illuminate antifog, brilliant bottom of the beacons, edge of the gridiron cromada, rear-view and drawers of door in color auto body. The rims of alloy of 15 radioes are not of series, and tires wear shoes Continental PremiumContact2 of measures 195/45 R16. The pipe of leak is disguised.

The aerodynamics now are cleaner, in addition, it has a more dynamic profile. The change of design has sat him well. It has grown in all the dimensions with regard to the previous model, but still it does not come to four meters of length. Since it can turn in this photo, the inner door can remain very high and to strike the ceiling of the parking.

 The engineers of Ford have solved a classic problem that afflicts utilitarian modern several with the Fiesta. In spite of being surer and with a sharp design, it does not lose in habitability with regard to his predecessor, even they have put on weight the porter to capacities more of compact.

One of the points where previous Fiesta was failing was in details of interior and the position of conduction. They have put a left reposapie for normal persons, now we sit down in a more dynamic position, in which one feels the much better conduction, especially with a low position. The steering wheel already is regulated in height and depth.

The general aspect and the materials have improved, it is a car of more perceived quality. Also I must say that they have not given the ring in all the aspects, since in the managing of the top console, which agglutinates many functions. It forces us to stretch the arm, it is not very comfortable that we say. In addition, I believe that the managing of the menus might have been simplified a bit.

This unit takes take-off as a key ” free hands “, so it does not have a hollow to introduce the key and to start, and has the button “Start” that already Mondeo or Focus were mounting. This way we improve the passive safety, a thing less against which they strike the knees. Speaking about knees, an airbag us is under the cane of direction to protect them.

 The board of instruments has won in personality, stops being so smooth and conventional to be of deep clocks, more colouring. The information that we have is not explosively rich, the Fiesta is different of the models who have succumbed to the inexplicable mode of eliminated the witness of the temperature of the water.

The meter of the fuel is deceptive, indicating “0″ the computer one was declaring some more 60 km from autonomy. A detail that was called me the attention of the computer, apart from the fact that it continues without taking an instantaneous económetro, is that the autonomy declares it in kilometres and hundreds of meters, is the first time that I see something like that.

 Vayámonos temporarily to the left side of the driver. There we have I send him of the lights, simply up to dying, with the regulator of height of the same ones. One does not see in the photographies, but the only way of knowing to what height we have put the beacons is with a white line, in the top part of the wheel, which one does not see easily not greatly less.

It has tact of cheap steering wheel, in this sense the SEAT Ibiza makes it much better. If we concentrate on the plastic of the dashboard, which also provides the doors, we discover that it is nice, it gains like that points.

 Another detail that has seemed to me of quality is well that sounds the sound system of series. It can give the impression of being an equipment extraserie, is more obtained of what is necessary to wait. There feeds on radio, CD-MP3, auxiliary capture type Jack 3,5 ” and finally a port USB

In the front squares I was feeling more to taste of the normal thing in a car of this type, and was not giving myself sensation of being boxed. It is obvious a bit more in the back part. If the driver is very high, behind him there will no be material site to place legs though they belong to model of gangplank Cibeles. The elbow can rest on the door.

 The tact of the tapestry is agreeable, with a soft filling seat that is not luxurious but at least as driver it never becomes heavy. Since back passenger I could not prove it in march, though it seemed to me to be a bit hard it is not a nuisance. The lateral sujección is good ahead, very poor behind.

The principal sound source is the engine. Aerodinámicamente and for the wheels, does not enter a quantity of noise is a nuisance even to a bit high speed, but the engine always does noise. To 120 km/h in fifth tour to 2.750 RPM, and the one that it gives for going to 160 km/h is going to have of grandma to the engine bothering 3.500 RPM.

The back tray on the porter is smooth, so I do not recommend to place anything there, it will move. In the porter they hide 295 liters of capacity, of regular and easily usable forms. Under the plane of load we will have a wheel of emergency supply, and paying new paragraph, one of the same measure that other.

 If we unload a big abundant purchase, taking advantage of of free hands, it is possible to open only the porter and then to close the inner door so calmly. What happens, and do not ask me why it happens, the lights of the board remain flushed.
