Very nice, interior is certainly a step up from the current one (except the tacked on screen).
good work again Ford.

I don't know what it is about Ford styling nowadays. All the attributes are there for it to be good looking - but taken as a whole I just get the feeling of 'meh'. It's not just this car, the whole Ford passenger range just doesn't do it for me. I'm hoping Ford will move away from this design language sooner rather than later.

 I think it's the best it's been in a long while... Mustang better than previous model and most other 2 doors. Mondeo way better than previous model and most direct rivals. Focus way better than previous model. Fiesta way better than previous model. Escape better than the feminine looking Kuga and doesn't have a stupid name. |

Looks are always subjective though. I love the look of the new Focus ST front, rear is terrible. New Fiesta is a little soft compared to the old one IMO but for a 3 cylinder turbo it sounds bloody good i reckon, slight hint of RS note in there and it looks pretty good too imo. If i wasnt looking at something more suited to lifestyle a new Fiesta ST would be on the list for sure.

I like the big wheels! I think I'd prefer the 5 door. The girl's car is a 3 door hatch, and I think we'd both prefer some back doors.
The interior looks like a vast improvement over the current Fiesta, and a Ford with a decent sound system? That would be lovely. |

Promotional clip. A good one, I might add. Part of the reason why the ads are crap here compared to other places is the nanny state we live in. People complain over the tiniest of things and they get banned. This clip would never make it on TV here.

It looks pretty good. I'm not a fan of the wheel and the back looks a little too VW for me.

I am surprised that Ford has gone with the 3 cylinder engine on this.. Could be interesting.

I like the front, and the wheels and side profile. Not sure why the back looks a bit off though. Can't put my finger on why it is that way. Might be the shape of the taillights not matching the rest of the car.

Very nice! Too small for me, but love the styling. Those wheels!
Though I absolutely hate those "stuck on" tablet type displays. They ruin the look of any car interior.

Is there any news regarding the availability of the regular 2018 Fiesta in the Asia-Pacific region?
Ford getting rid of the dual-clutch Powershift on the 2018 Fiesta was a smart move. Its been several months since it was unveiled in Europe, and still no word about when it will debut in global markets. |
