2018 Ford Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost (ENG) - Test Drive and Review 

For me the best segment B car. I don't agree with your review. The most technological car in its segment, wonderful to drive and B&O music system absolutely stunning.

Just ordered one as my first car 👌

I have one of these myself right down to the wheels and the glass roof,its a lovely car to drive,comfortable,with loads of spec,I mean heated steering wheel,adaptive cruise control,lane keep assist etc,only thing I would love is a powered tailgate,but no supermini offers one,mines the 100ps and its bloody awesome on fuel

Intro mariachi music is f..... crazy.. Thanks Marek..

Fiesta ecoboost, brilliant car and so quick for it's small engine size. Lots of room for drivers but the rear is cramped. Great gear ratios and fun to drive. Don't like the new lights on the 2018 though.

Great review M. A used small crossover is likely better value (no where near 23,000 Euro) and probably more practical. The Fiesta is now almost the size of the Ford Focus Mark 1, so its a fairly big 'city' car these days.

I've just got a 100ps Fiesta Ecoboost Titanium 3 door, it now has the option to have LED headlights which I got, roughly £600 extra in the UK, they are good especially they have automatic on function that dips them quickly. The heater gets very hot & I got the comfort pack (Heated seats & steering wheel) & panoramic roof, believe you me it gets hot inside. Also has the heated windscreen as standard in U.K. spec.

Kiedys wypozyczylem taka fieste z 2010 r nowa. Zaskoczyl mnie ten samochod w dieslu. Naprawde fajnie nim sie pomykalo. Tamten nie mial tych cudow. Jezdzil naprawde dobrze.

I like a great attention for details in this review..... Will I byu this csr? For 23 kEuro -definately not....

We visited my wife's parents family in Sandomierz in 2016. She spoke Polish as a child but growing up in Montréal her parents thought that English was more important and didn't use the language from the old country much. It is a really complicated language with multi genders which change with tenses and multiple tenses.

Nice review

Guys everyone knows this is quite a good car. I drove older on and new one and I haven't felt in love with new one. There is space and comfort but build quality is moderate and handling is not so engaging as with old one. Old one was a little rocket even with base trim/engine and new one is on soft side. Material quality stands up over lase generation one. I love Marek's approach. This is what you look for when looking for reviews. I don't have complains about seats but it might be important for somebody. I love fords. I had only fords in my life and actually picked new stline focus 1,5 few months ago. Still looking for new car for my wife and having good realtion with ford I have doubts on new fiesta. Good car but I'v found it not so attractive that I hoped I would.

That car Looks cool

That is why i bought the ST-line with better seats all buttons have lights in blue, better extras, better finishes, race suspension, race seats, sync 3, and so much more that the titanium doesn't have. Paid 17 100 euro in Portugal for a full extra fiesta ST-line that doesn't have reverse camera only (useless in my opinion). Lower suspension 17 inch alloy wheel with pilot sport 4 tyres. Awesome car vs Kia rio, Citroen c3. This were the cars i tried since the 3 were my last picks after much information gathering.

It looks cool

At last a totally honest review of a car from someone 👍

I mentioned it before in your other videos, but I'll say it again - love your honesty, and seemingly lack of bias - keep it up!

Hello from romania Marek. I still watch almost all your reviews because they are more honest than everybody else.

Honest review M. They didn't change the new model enough for me it looks like the old model it replaces. It's also way too expensive here in Ireland . I don't like the entertainment system. It looks like it was just stuck on as an afterthought!!! Think i would go for the new Polo. Look forward to seeing your review for the new Polo.....

Hey Marek, how would you compare the Fiesta to the current models Suzuki Ignis and Swift? Thanks in advance!

It’s a really good car and looks good too

Definetly agree that it needs at least HID or LED headlamps

I am a big guy and not gonna fit really good in this fiesta. But when I am looking for "mini" car I would prefer Ford Focus! It's not so small like this fiesta but also it's not much bigger. Also when the Ford Fiesta is good for a cities, Ford Focus is good for cities and a little bit longer trips. Also is good for a trips with few friends. Like I Said in the beginning I am not a small guy that could fit in a Ford Fiesta. So this is my opinion. Here in Bulgaria Ford Fiesta is car of the year! Greetings!

I understand the steering wheel is adjustable so that for instance, you can see the dials you said were not easy to see, through said wheel.

What do you think about vignale version? Better than a polo generally?

your reviews are awesome I hope you keep it up!

That surprised me about the headlights. In the UK all but the basic Style variant have LED daytime lights and projection headlights while we can upgrade to full LED headlights for only £600.

its not just halogen and optional led daytime lights. the daytime leds are standar and the optional is full led system

great and realistic review, tnx man :)

great review Marek !

B-Segment cars cut so many corners to get that lower price, because if they were built like a C-segment car, they would also cost as much. B-Segment crossovers (which are often advertised as C-Segment cars) are a total rip-off, they are B-segment cars on stilts, they cost as much as a C-segment car, handle worse, consume more fuel and I find that they cut even more corners to save money. Get a C-segment car or higher unless you need a second car in the family for driving around in the city.

Very poor review of a fantastic car

At 5:35, is that a wireless charging pad, or a signal booster?

yup will this launches in india

I bought the mk8 fiesta....and its a beast...!!! Rly nice driving exp. and a lot of economy too...!! i dont know what u talking about. Go and drive a wv polo but take care of the electrics and the chipset that will tell only fake stats...! SKOUPIDI!

I love my Fiesta 2018 ST LINE, no problem with the temperatuers, even when we got -8c here in Denmark atm ;) and there is not to much on the stearling wheel, after 1 or 2 days, you will could use them without even loook at them. sorry to said, but this does not look like a review, more a " ford hate" video.

I test drove one of these with 16 inch tyres and I thought the suspension absorbed potholes and bumps beautifully. Maybe it was the 17s this car at fault for the bumpy ride, although I can't see an inch making such a difference. All other reviews I've read/watched on this praise it's suspension too. Marek I think you need to find yourself a good chiropractor.

A little tip for you. If you are cold with the climate set to 21, try setting it to 23 and you should be nice and toasty. ;-) As a matter of interest it was -8C here in West Wales, right on the western coast last night. Three miles inland it was -12C

Best review so far!

Lot's of options that we don't get in Ireland. Great car if you pick the right engine!

I don't understand is how Toyota Iygo in the same class with WV Polo?Isn't Iygo an A-class?

What do you recommend then ..a Syrena ?

Marek I think you did a great review revealing not only the good things but also the compromises of this great car. Maybe the next facelifted Fiesta deals with them

I will better get swift gor driving pleasure or a mini

Good looking, but cost cutting is evident

Hi Marek, What about Peugeot 208 or Hyundai i20?

I would like to buy an automatic in this category for my wife this year. Mainly for city driving. Now that is a mission for lesser evil... I'm torn between yaris hybrid (dislike the cvt and the high price) and vitara automatic 1.6 petrol (bit too big, and already have an scross, maybe I shouldn't have all eggs in one basquet). Mazda 1.5 automatic would be perfect, but even new mazda's rust too fast for my liking. Any tipps maybe?

I own a used 2012/13 Fiesta in Titanium spec with the same 125 PS engine (although this "now old version" only has 5 gears, the new one has six). I only drive on B-roads in the countryside (avg. speed 100 km/h) and in the city, once every 3-6 months motorway (unrestricted Autobahn). My average fuel consumption is slap bang between 5,3-5,4l. If I drive like a loon for a week it creeps to 5,6l. Bear in mind it's -8C here, I got the full winter package, heated seats, windscreen etc, everything pumping on max, cabin heats up nice and fast and try as I might it's impossible to get it past 5,6l/ 100 km. How in the world are you getting 7l in the new version with an extra overdrive gear ? Mind you, I run my Fiesta on 15 inch tyres in summer, 14 inch in winter, so it handles great and is still quite comfy. Maybe the bigger standard spec wheels (16 ? 17 ?) on this new one on Titanium ruined the fuel economy and the sweet handling/comfort balance ? Drove the Fiesta ST too once, great car, but as a daily driver unnecessarily harsh. Mazda 2 I find has NVH issues, VW Group cars are quieter and comfier but put me to sleep driving, Toyota drives like a barge. There's also Corsa but I stay away from all things Opel. Therefore I like the Fiesta based on my experience with the prior model, cheap to buy used, decent power, great fuel economy, fantastic drive, affordable maintenance/servicing. What's not to love...I have yet to find a non-premium alternative that strikes that perfect balance.

What about Kia Rio?

Marek 2018 Sonata Hybrid Please

Dude what are you talking about???? I feel like you are talking about a different car to the one I test driven. I thought the Fiesta was really comfortable and quiet. It felt like a car from the segment above.

Hi. Get your facts together. The fiesta has an optional FULL-LED front-light package.... including sequential blinkers

Great, honest review. I deliberately hired a Fiesta a couple of years ago with a view to replacing my old Corolla. I didn't like it at all.

Jak mam być szczery to wydaje mi się że drugi kanał angielskojezyczny byłby lepszy niż wrzucanie dwóch filmów A ten sam

Nice review, Marek. About those lights - is it fair to complain about nothing other than halogens available? First, for years halogens had been enough, and second, few will pay more for fancy lights in a supermini. And price is stiff for this one. It is (was) actually more expensive than outgoing Focus (at least here, in Baltics), and for the money one can get even a Golf, which is much bigger and better equipped car. Or Polo, which is also not too attractive due to high price. Otherwise, I also tried Fiesta and found that, while in cabin front it is much nicer now, rear room is about the same, trunk is same and... yeah, looks is more boring now, so we are left with just the nice handling. Is it enough to beat the roomy Polo? Hardly. But still worth shortlisting. :)

What about Ford Puma?

Instrument cluster is strange it's kind of angled at your chest rather than your face.

I have an 8 year old 1.6 TDCI, the engine is quite quiet but there is too much road noise coming from the wheel wells. So you're review to my mind is less than useful because there is almost nothing about the drive experience.

new Fiesta vs Peugeot 208?

Great review, thank you very much first time I have vitnessed an objective review of Ford Fiesta! I never understand why british car magazines and reviewers always give 5 stars to Fiesta. Production and part quality are always low; ergonomy is always below average; and when it takes some age, for instance 10 years old they nearly become trash. They find , fo r instance hard plastic at all cars, but they forget it when testing these things. As you can see in the review nearly there is nothing more than average or mediocre in interior design, quality and ergonomics. I will understand if Ford would be a national brand. I never seen any Ford aging as for instance japanese rivals. I accept steering and driving characteristics (I have driven different generations), but is that enough to label these low quality products as best of class, 5 stars, whatsoever? I think the only country that Fiesta is the best selling car in its class is UK! Unbelievable acceptance of low quality. Maybe that is why British auto industy has vanished. Either there is a serious problem of quality perception or they don't care about quality.

Thanks for the honest review, heard Ford's EcoBoost engine gives poor MPG and was not sure that Ford build quality was any better these days, seems like it's just as average 👍

I love this fiesta I don't agree

Why do you hate mazda ?? They look and drive very good with good quality

I think this guy just dislikes this car for nothing I think it’s amazing

A case on wine? I guess you had a party and did not drink it all yourself!

Clio has a fine interior

too much buttons less comunication, a shot for you guys back from the past

The ads that intrude in the middle of the Review. Will never buy from those companies.

skipping the new superminis and going looking for a decent second-hand family car is always a better idea if you ask me. minis almost always have flimsy build quality.

Any RU-vidrs in the comment section have anymore real world figures for the fuel consumption?

LED DRL and push button ignition are standard in titanium and sync 3 is standard even with the smaller screen. Also I have seen full led headlights in the st and the active versions. So, perhaps they will be optionally available. This car is the best in it's class both in technical aspect and in styling. Especially the interior which is a huge update from the mk6

Just one thing, this is the mk8 Fiesta. The previous model was the mk7.5. Its was a 7.5 because it was only a facelift of the original mk7. Good review!

Unfortunately Ford USA has decided to continue production of the old Fiesta in the US, after 2018 we will not get the new Fiesta, instead Ford decided the US market should get the UGLY ECOSPORT replacing the Fiesta all together in America.

looks so horrible outside (for Chinese market maybe the right taste?) and inside, and so much consuption and shit harsh suspension - a car for the bin. Normally I love super minis because I like to whizz with them easily through the city. But actually there is hardly an acceptable one.

Case of wine instead a bottle? Now I see why the comments are so extrange

Sorry Marek but just for infotainment system is just simple Mazda 2 is it bad!? omg! I think Mazda 2 rules all of them in super mini market

Anti commercial am i very happy with the car. Stupid remarks about hearing and glasses seriously!

I was cold with temperature set to 20,5 no shitt get it to 23 than it will be warm you’re just looking for something that doesn’t exist

Hi I'm American. I don't speak Polish or metric. Cheers 💅

Ford Fiesta ❤️

God i wish America got the 1.0 with 6mt butttttt nooooooo gotta kill off cars ugh

Peugeot 208, even prettier than Clio but much nicer interior.

ha ha what a rip off for the price. shame I guess the cheaper versions make more sense

Anyone else notice the light bulb that is out behind him in the beginning 😐

Seriously who wants a panoramic moonroof? They add unwanted light into the interior, steel headroom, and add noise.

I want to add to the Clio comment. The engine is GUTLESS, interior is still fin,e but anything bellow GT is so gutless you would think there is something wrong with it.

The ecoboost mileage is a total lie.

23 thousand Euros is outrageous! You can buy a quite speced up Polo for that kind of money. Reviews show it is more premium than this.

One reason i disliked this video is because if you are opening a fucking boot of a car, you fucking lift the fucking door not touch it an expect it to raise, it isnt an electric door.

A double floor, an option to make the boot smaller. It take more marketing boys than engineers to sell this crap.

After one week I became used to all the buttons. But you only got the car for a day I guess.

Hey Marek, i admit Fiesta is not the most appealing or comfy super mini at the moment, but i suspect that many of us might still prefer it' s fun to drive character over , say , vw polo's very , very boring interior and uninspired design.

What a cruel color, maybe for women. First Ford dashboard (interior) that looks acceptable.

Poor vid, watch something else. Save data. This was just a moan fest

This guy the only thing he does is complain about the car it's a Ford Fiesta is not a fucking goddamn Lexus or Mercedes Benz come on get for real is a cheap car if you want luxury go to the other four door go to a focus go to a Lincoln

Basically is pretty rubbish

I've owned three Fords. They were all shite. Never again.

Vauxahll corsa aren't bad

hyundai copied design of interior from this car...

Nice, good looking car but engine 🤣🤣🤣 1.0 liter 3 cylinders rubbish.
