Aaron Nixon This is so strange. I changed the camera angle. The seat position hasn’t changed 😂

@omarliew1164 5 лет назад

This was bothering me also. Maybe you should try to put the steering wheel more towards your body if that's possible. Otherwise just put the back of the seat more straight up. It's better for hard breaking and give's so much more effortless steering. But offcourse if you are satisfied with this position keep it like this. Doesn't look like it's a totaly wrong position but for performance driving your arms should be more bent. But realy nice video, wish i had the money for this great fun looking car.

@Coralbit 5 лет назад

When you are driving you need to stretch your arm to go to the top op the steering wheel, rule of thumb is when seated against the backrest your wrist should be able to touch the top of the steering wheel when fully stretched. You will find that driving like that will give you more control and feeling in the steering wheel. Just a tip

Something ford are good at is suspension set up I have sport suspension on my st-line mondeo but it rides perfectly for everday driving just have to remember the car is low to the road so pulling up against raised kurbs is something to remember its definitely lower then the fiesta ST front end as it has front skirts on each edge of the front bumper, been close a few times

@Chewygsxr 4 года назад

You know what Mate, I was going to get the new version here in the USA as I have a 2014 Fiesta ST, and I love it, it’s at Stage 3 with a 3” exhaust system, and it’s way more Thoroughly then that puny three cylinder. Not to mention the MK-7 is better looking all the way around. The Fiesta Flash. 🤙🏼🍺

@Zadster 5 лет назад

I guess the cone filter's there for the induction sound rather than the extra power. Which brings me to the problem with almost all modern cars - massive amounts of sound insulation. This means that people have to put noisy air filters and antisocial exhausts on just to hear what their car can actually do! Alternatively they have to pipe in fake noise. Either is a shame because this 3-pot engine is a really good sounding one. Much more interesting to listen to than a 4 cylinder (unless it is a BDA, which nothing in the last 40 years has been)

@kenjiwalter5024 5 лет назад

Excellent informative video, keep up the good work! I have to wait a while until it's released in Australia next year to see one in real life. In my research I saw some issues with cracked heads and leaking coolant with some MK7 engines and started freaking out. Sounds like it's all good so far with the MK8 let's hope this engine stays as reliable as the first 7k miles

@JBCTR 5 лет назад

Kenji Walter Looks good so far! Although playing devils advocate, my MK7 was perfect for nearly 4 years and I received the recall notice for it just as I sold it. So some problems take a while to manifest but we shall see! At least I’ve beaten most of the Focus RS’s when it comes to mileage before any engine faults were identified.

@marty3469 5 лет назад

Just be aware that the Aust version of European Ford's come with less options as standard , tho am hoping they will be the same spec . I have a Focus mk2 ST3 (xr5 in Aust) and things like headlights are same as base model, no heated windscreen, suspension is softer and higher than UK spec ... We never got the 3dr model which is what I wanted. Having said that, I'll be Keen to take one of those Fiestas for a spin when we eventually see them 😎

@kenjiwalter5024 5 лет назад

Yeah because after 7k miles one can confirm an engine is reliable. Must agree with comments below that your driving position is horrible and ridiculous, as I've stated in other comment sections of other RU-vidrs who drive a Fiesta ST. Camera angle won't change the fact that your arm is fully stretched when reaching for the top of the steering wheel. If anything, a good driving position has your arms always in a bend and never stretched.

Hello, i'm thinking of buying ST myself but unfortunatelly in Poland/Gdansk and nowhere around there is no chance of a testdrive. Could You please make a video or just response here of just any daily things You encounter like fuel consumption with normal driving mode (commuting on city, highways speeds), engine revs level on 90km/h and 140km/h, cabin noise on motorways/highways. Would You again get the glass roof? Isn't it cooling car too much on a really cold day? Dont You have any problems with suspencion being too hard on daily drives? Is crossing a sleeping policeman/speed breaker any problem? Cheers! :)

Another superb video. Nice music, relaxed video style. Very informative for a fiesta st owner. One question: How do you take care of your engine? How do you drive it, when the engine is not at working temperature. Thanks in advance👍

@JBCTR 5 лет назад

I have always done my best to care for the engine. I had a pretty strict run-in period. Didn’t go anywhere near the limiter for the first 1000 miles, and never kept the revs at a constant speed. After 1000 miles, normal driving ensued. I tend to wait for coolant temp to reach optimum, and then wait a little longer before giving it the beans. I wish the ST had an oil temp gauge 🤦🏼‍♂️ other than that, I drive it how I fancy it and don’t shy away from a track day 😉

@Manuun1 5 лет назад

JB CTR thanks for the detailed answer. At what max revs do you keep it when getting it to temperature?

@JBCTR 5 лет назад

Manuun1 As low as I can! 3k at most probably?

@Giorgos.Tsiaras1 5 лет назад

well as far as i know ( im not professional) you can push the engine to the limits right after you pick it up from the dealership as long you get to the identical temparture. But it is better to drive it normally for the michanical parts like gearbox suspensions etc the manual book says go easy with the car the first 1500 km.

Hey, I came across your channel quite recently. Amazing videography, I can’t fault that. Keep this up and you have a great opportunity for a career in RU-vid. A couple of things that I could say to change or to work on is to loosen up a bit while filming, it looks forced at the beginning of the video, but as the video goes along you tend to calm down a bit and the flow of the video is much better. And last thing is don’t do a “walking towards the camera shot” twice in a row when you are on the same topic. It looks odd because it seems you keep teleporting back to the car :D. Apart from that.

Richard Hurr Peak figures. It’s about how that torque is delivered 😏

if you are going to buy this car, you must pay extra that there would be a 7 year warranty or 100.000 km and that would be a performance pack, I did it! from Portugal!

I have the Fiesta 1.0 ecoboost 100ps titanium, 4 weeks and have done 1000 miles, the 3 cylinder engine is brilliant but not impressed by the fuel economy, will it improve when it's more run in, who knows

@JBCTR 5 лет назад

Jenny Donne It will get better! Although for a small engined car, they certainly aren’t the most economical.

@dreamcrusher112 5 лет назад

I've the same engine and average out 55mpg for my extra-urban commute, in town though I'm at 30~. I found my mpg went up by about ten when run in, and another 6mpg when I hit 10k miles.

@jennydonne8946 5 лет назад

Thank you, I've been averaging 35-45 mpg so far & hoping it's going to improve, obviously I know it would improve once it's run in. It's a fantastic engine & it's got a lot of guts.

Ok, one question and a warning. The question is, do the new led cornering lights or fog lights dim like the original? The warning is about the mounts of the headlights. I've had my passenger side headlight mount broken without any reason, and it was not easy to show up. I noticed it when I found out that the beam was lower than the driver's side. After some search, I found out that a lot of MK8 and MK7 have the same problem. So, take a look at them from time to time. Fortunately, mine were covered by the warranty, but I worry for future problems. Cheers.

George Tsinikosmaoglou Thanks for the heads up! I had no issues in my MK7 with the headlights mounts for nearly 4 years, but I’ll keep an eye out on the MK8! The LED fogs come on slowly and DIM like the originals. You can just about see it at 04:16 in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OhURmUPIoCQ.html

Idk I've got a 1.25 Mk6 with close to 150,000 miles and it's not had any issues. They're solid cars if you take good care of them

@JBCTR 5 лет назад

Safety First 1.25’s are solid engines. Not too much to go wrong with them! These 1.5’s are interesting and a little unknown at the moment. 3 cyclinder with cylinder de-activation technology has raised questions when it comes to reliability.

@safetyfirst5917 5 лет назад

@@JBCTR To be honest, every time ford brings out a new "flagship" engine it ends up being a solid choice. Flagship being the 1.25 duratec, the 1L ecoboost ect.

Does it red line to 6500 or 7000... ? ... it can't be both. It's a serous question. I am a happy 90,000 kilometre owner of a MK VII and like the idea of the MK VIII but I do have some concerns that might leave me some what disappointed. My MK VII has the factory supported MP215 which makes it more powerful and torque than the stock MK VIII The look and the interior of the MK VII is superior no question, I am juts concerned that Ford might have engineered some of the raw personality out of it.
