Hi. Just checking with Fiesta owners with (1) manual & (2) auto transmission:
1. At typical legal speed of say 100kph, at the highest gear, what RPM does the engine work at? 2. At that level of rotation, is the car noisy? I know this is kinda subjective... I travel about 60+km on highway to/fro work (almost all 100kph) and is now considering, besides other factors of course, whether to get an auto or manual transmission. I know the manual is more fun, better economy but I hate noisy cabin. I understand that the manual gearing is short and the auto one is taller. So, at highway speed, is the auto more fuel-efficient and quieter than a manual? Thanks for your feedback.  e |

Manual vs automatic for lower noise on highway
