Good question jimbo; I am a big fan of auto gears and i am about to buy this car, But still wondering why the downgrade for automatic gear, Why not 1.6 for auto gears. Gisss

Prepare for disappointment. The Tiida is a poor reseller.

I am considering one of these when it comes time to trade in my 2006 Nissan Tiida this time next year.It does not matter that the Fiesta comes from Thailand OR THE FACT Automatic Buyers make do with only a 4 speed Transmission and less power or a smaller motor.I have been to see a few of these and love the car.Now off to see how much i can get for my Nissan in the months ahead.

We know it’s a part of Ford’s Europe division, Frank, but everything we’ve read states that the car shares its platform with the Mazda 2. There’s no reason that can’t be true. There are hundreds of examples out there in automotive history.

Contrary to comments above, this car has very little to do with Mazda, this is a part of Ford’s Euro division. Between this and the new Focus, Ford is really putting out some nice product even with their bad marketing. Clarkson on Top Gear loved this car saying it has a VW feel about the way it handled, a good thing for Ford.

The new Focus RS is also really hot in Europe right now: http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/08/15/ford-focus-rs-a-compact-car-thats-all-muscle/

The new Fiesta looks even more impressive in person.

Seems like all the comments about Ford marketing are true. I don’t go out of my way to look at new models from manufacturers but I like to think I generally keep up with most things from Ford/Holden/Mitsu… etc.

I haven’t seen ANY advertising for the new Fiesta and had no idea what it looked like. A week ago I realised I needed a new car and because I’m in no position to buy what I want (Holden/Ford V8), I decided to go cheap and get a new Hyundai Getz until I’m ready to get a V8 again. Thankfully my local Hyundai salesman wasn’t too enthusiastic to make a sale so I wandered off to the Ford dealer to have a sticky beak. An hour later I was happy to spend the extra money for a Zetec Fiesta.

It was the only car in it’s class that made me want to own it. C’mon Ford marketing….you nearly lost a sale here.

Will there be a comprehensive review of this any time soon? Especially an Auto. LX model?
