This could be interesting, I wonder if any of the changes will be incorporated into Thailand production?

Thanks for the post fella. Good to see they like it, but can I just say I dislike how Americans review cars. I was affraid they would make it fat, ugly, slow and under equipted with hard plastics. Well they've made it less attractive, it's put on 100pounds, which means it is slower but it's packed with great features and the inside is still nice.
I dissagree with the ergonomics. I think it works well. I'm lost with what more they could do, or change? The manual is a decent unit, ok so the throw is large, but a short shifter makes it one hell of a sweet shift. The engine I think is a ripper. I guess I'm biased though! Can't wait to see the PowerShift auto!

so why exactly cant we get a rear interior light aaaaaaaaand the rear of the seats covered?
Seriously who in ford decided that taking those things out was a good idea? It looks so much more complete with only those two things added! |

The screen displays navigations and voice over tells you when to turn. The German spec Fiesta has a similar function, it communicates with your Nokia Mobile GPS software and actually displays it on the screen. The only difference between the US and German spec is the software is built into the US spec model and you can control it via Voice Control.

   The 1.6 Ti-VCT models will also be available with the 6-speed Powershift. (LHD Philippine spec Fiesta with Powershift shown)  I guess the dual clutch Powershift will most likely make it to the Australian spec Fiesta. Last edited by AG3; 13-05-2010 at 06:16 PM. |

The Fiesta sedan will compete with other similar sized sedans like the Honda City and Toyota Yaris sedan. |

 It may look a bit odd to some because of the tall rear end, but I guess they did this to optimize the cargo space.

Also the side window line rises so high it couldn't really be any lower. Just think about it, the only sedan variants of this type of car we see here in Australia are the Toyota Echo/Yaris.
