I tired to not comment but I can't help myself. I have the Fiesta, and my company car is an FG Falcon. As I drive both about the same distance each week this is a fair call. The Falcon is using 9.8 L/100km and the Fiesta 5.7 L/100km. Insurance, registration, fuel bill, pretty much everything is cheaper on the Fiesta apart from servicing costs which on last check is slightly more than a Falcon. Considering the Fiesta is still not a high seller, I can deal with the latter.
Expecting a Fiesta to do everything a Falcon does just as well is ignorant. I can easily fit four decent sized adults, and five at a squeeze, but if it's long drives or carting people your want, yes, that's why Ford have the Falcon. The Fiesta may only have a small engine, but it's got the most power in it's class, equal to the Jazz VTi. For what it is, it's bloody amazing. Call it marketing ploys, I call it connivence.
