In reply to FastHonda…. The Fiesta is the best dynamic drive out of the small car class. Yes we test drove the Jazz as well both the nw 1.3 and 1.5 litre engine. We currenty have 2005 1.3 CVT Jazz and prefer that model to the new Jazz. Talk about death trap….the sun visor on the new Jazz is absolutely hopeless, the overall size is about the same as my 2 year old hand. For mywife wh ois not tall and faced with driving into the sun, the Jazz sun visor was the amin reason we ditched the car for the Fiesta. We’ll miss the space in the Jazz but will be enjoying the driving experience of the Fiesta.

The Fiesta Econetic is a WINNER – I want one.

Ford Australia, bring it in with a HIGH standard spec level.

We have a Zetec it’s fantastic, this one would address the only problem it has (too many revs on the highway) apart from that it’s perfect. Pity about the 5 month waiting period on the Zetec (it’s costing half the sales) but that’s what you get when the car is so good and everyone wants one

Toybota Corolla is the most overrated cars, terrible interior, quality below par and one of the most gutless cars I have driven ever.

The Jazz is a girl’s car, Nissan Micra ugly as sin, only aimed at teenage girls, Holden Barina, well we won’t go there but one word DAEWOO.

Ford Fiesta runs rings around the competition, hence why everyone is talking about it and car experts rate Fiesta very high in reviews.

I’m not concerned about the fuel savings but the Fiesta is one of the most overrated cars.
Awful interior,suspect quality and one of the most gutless cars I ever had the displeasure to test drive.
The 1.4 L auto is a death trap.If you buy one get the manual 1.6L.
The Jazz may look like a girl’s car but this is Definately a girl’s car.
The positives on the car include very good ride and the seats are comfortable.

This car will save ford. I have personally been in one. Fantastic little car, with a great shape, (being a guy, i wouldnt mind being seen in this), great interior, and funky to drive. doesnt make a heap of power but doesnt need it.
its one of those cars that just makes you happy

Just what ford needed yesterday……. A green “Halo” car

thank god an aussie is back at the helm of Ford OZ and seemingly making the right decisions
