De facto ha duas coisas que nao gosto! a traseira esta muito levantada fica algo estranha e o interior apesar de achar que em relaçao ao anterior esta muito melhor parece-me que ainda esta abaixo de 207/clio/corsa (a nivel de interiores) ! e tambem aquela conjugaçao de cores nos plasticos interiores nao é nada feliz faz me lembrar apenas uma coisa...

Fogo, com as fotos anteriores todas e esta análise, o carro está mesmo com bom aspecto!
Mais uma hipótese a considerar... estou como o ks34: jazz, fiesta e também mazda 2, ibiza...
É pena é não terem investido nuns motores a gasolina mais económicos, mas espero para ver se o 1.6tdci especialmente o econetic conseguem competir com o jazz!
ks34: não te esqueças que o jazz só consome 5,1!

New Car Net - Ford Fiesta 1.6 TDCi 90 PS Titanium
Thirty something and younger than ever.
Our neighbours called yesterday to show off their new baby. It looked like a pre-production model but they were proud of it, so I made the usual enquires. "And what's his name? I asked. "She's called Tinkerbell," replied mum, proudly. "You must have given that some thought," I remarked. "No, it just sort of came to us," said dad, "like it was meant." Or did he say mental?
By contrast, it took Ford of Europe two years to find a name for the all-new Fiesta. Clinics, consultations, séances, tea leaves; no scientific method was overlooked as the company searched for a new name. In the end, common sense prevailed, and the new car was christened....Fiesta. No hassle with deed polls or expensive re-branding, the 32-year-old car simply kept the name it had already made for itself.
Yet nothing of the old car remains: the new Fiesta is precisely that - new from the ground up, although it does share its platform with the latest Mazda 2, which, in outward appearance at least, it quite closely resembles.
Intended as a global product, the new Fiesta will be built in Ford factories around the world, but its design and development is very much a European affair. You might even narrow it down further. In common with the new Mondeo and the revised Focus, the Fiesta somehow feels rather....German.
A stiffer body, improved ride and handling, evident build-quality, and a wide choice of luxury features, together result in a car that has done for Fiesta what Usain Bolt has done for the four-minute mile. The one-time cheap and cheerful runabout has morphed into a world-class performer that will leave established competitors playing catch-up.
Yet cheap and cheerful has not been entirely abandoned. Although most models have risen in price (by up to £300), the lead-in model is marginally cheaper than the model it replaces. The 1.25-litre Fiesta Studio is yours to drive away for £8,695.
But if you want the car I tested - a 90 PS 1.6 TDCi 5-door Titanium - expect to pay a good deal more: five grand more, in fact. At £13,695, the diesel-powered Titanium is a range-topper, but within the quite hefty price tag is what amounts to a cashback deal. No, you don't get a fat cheque, but you do get low running costs and, in London, exemption from the congestion charge. From October 27 2008, anyone who buys a 1.6 TDCi Fiesta will not have to pay a bean to drive on London's roads.
A combined fuel-consumption of 67.3 mpg equates to a CO2 rating of 110 g/km, comfortably below the congestion-charge threshold. And since such a rating falls into VED Band B, your annual trip to the Post Office (don't do it online, it only encourages more Post Office closures) will set you back a trifling £30. The extra-urban figure runs close to 80 mpg, and around town, skilled drivers can expect 50-something miles per gallon. For the pedants among you, the exact figures are 78.5 and 54.3 mpg.
Such levels of economy impose a slight compromise: a 0-62 time of 11.9 seconds won't make you the envy of Santa Pod, but a peak torque of 204 Nm delivers a satisfying degree of mid-range punch. But with only five gears, the engine pulls at least 2500 rpm at motorway speeds, which is quite high by modern diesel standards.
For ultra economy, choose the 1.6 ECOnetic model, which promises 76.3 mpg on the combined cycle, and a CO2 rating of 99 g/km. That's Band A, and the motoring equivalent of a free bus pass. Various things have been trimmed off to make the car lighter, and it has low rolling-resistance tyres, but the price is also pruned. £11,845 will get you the three-door model, and £12,445, the five-door version.
For small cars, the price point is always critical, but nonetheless new Fiesta buyers need not suffer social deprivation. Indeed, the test car was stickered at £15,520, thanks to ESP, keyless entry, extra airbags, 16-inch alloys, and a few other toys. That sort of money will buy you a Focus, although a well-equipped Fiesta is almost the same thing.
Indeed, you could almost argue that the Fiesta has become a sort of Focus Lite. Although not much larger than the car it replaces, the new Fiesta benefits from a more obvious cab-forward design, which has enabled a few extra inches of cabin space at the front, albeit at the expense of rear legroom. But the extra length and width of the front portion of the cabin is just sufficient to give the impression that the car is considerably larger. In fact, one passenger asked me if we were in the new Focus.
But even if the extra inches add up to no more than a few millimetres there is no denying that the cabin has acquired more substance. There is a sense that the inspiration for the Fiesta cabin took its cues from the Focus and Mondeo. The fascia on the test car was spoilt by an all-over burgundy trim, as if attacked by an amateur bookbinder, but otherwise it reflected a step-change in Fiesta style and graphics, generally for the better.
Unsurprisingly, the ergonomics were as you might expect of a Ford - millimetre perfect, and that contributes to a sense of command-and-control that has nothing to do with how high you sit.
Given that the Fiesta is likely to be for many buyers a no-frills workhorse, it delivers precisely the kind of ride and drive that long-haul drivers will want: comfort is not in inverse proportion to distance. And town drivers will appreciate the light steering, balanced controls, easy gear-change, and tight turning circle. Grey market buyers will like the fact that it can be driven in top gear at 25 mph, and even performance drivers will enjoy the taut chassis, firm-ish ride, and predictable front-drive handling.
I guess I fall into the last category, and within the context of what might be called diesel-engined city cars, the Fiesta delivers more fun than you might expect. A great deal of attention has been paid to refining the ride and handling qualities, but, most importantly, Ford has injected the new body with plenty of starch, and its high level of torsional stiffness is a major factor in defining the car's dynamic appeal. And you don't need to drive it in the manner that Michael Johnson described on BBC TV as "balls...er, eye balls out." The ride quality emerges no matter at what pace you drive. But if you do press the metal, the Fiesta reveals itself as a willing conspirator in chasing away the miles. Old timers might remember the XR2: this car is no less fun.
But at every turn of the wheel, it reminds occupants of a new-found finesse. The engine note rarely rises above subdued, and the characteristic oil-burning detonation knock is all but absent unless you lay down with your head on the bonnet. At motorway cruising speed, you could be in a Mondeo, or at least a Focus, despite the slightly high-revving engine. (If you want to put your head on the bonnet, by the way, please ensure that the car is stationary.)
Another thing you will appreciate on a steady cruise is the fuel consumption, which, let me remind you, is 78.5 mpg on the extra-urban cycle. To put that in perspective, the extra-urban fuel consumption of a 1.2 Fiat 500 is 65.7 mpg, and that of a smart fortwo, 70.2 mpg.
I also appreciated the directness of everything: output equals input, from the steering to the throttle, from the radio to the heating. This sense of being connected extends to the platform. In an effort to cosset the occupants, some small cars overdo the servo-assist and under-do the feedback, so that the driver is distanced from the outside world, and the road surface is about as real as it is on a computer game. But the new Fiesta retains a degree of tactility, which is by no means raw, but which feeds the driver with just enough feel to engage the senses rather than dull them. In that respect, I would define it as a driver's car, and all the better for it.
And to some extent, the test car was all the better for being a Titanium model. In addition to the optional extras already mentioned, the standard specification of the Titanium Fiesta includes front, front-side, and driver's knee airbags; front fog lights; air-conditioning; Halogen projector headlights; a leather-trimmed wheel; cruise control; and powered and heated mirrors. And, of course, the test car had five doors, which compensates both for the shallow rear windows caused by the tapering roof line, and the slight loss of legroom, which has been sacrificed to the god Shoppa, who has been placated by extra boot space.
Tinker Bell lived in space, although during her visits to earth her creator, J M Barrie, had her sprinkling people with fairy dust in order that they might experience more than one feeling at a time. Like driving a Fiesta, then. You feel immediately at home behind the wheel, you feel like driving it for miles, you feel that £1.28 a litre is not so bad after all, and you even feel like driving in London again.

Banido
Este interior pode ser um paozinho sem sal, mas pelo menos não andaram sob efeito de drogas quando o desenharam e com os comandos do rádio e ventilação sem interferir com a caixa de velocidades, ao contrário do interior do novo Fiesta.
Já agora, um pormenor curioso
Nas versões com botão "Start/Stop", podiam disfarçar melhor o buraco do canhão de ignição.
Por fora o preto disfarça bem o barroco de certos pormenores de design.

A minha mulher desde que viu o Fiesta também esqueceu o Jazz. O Jazz no global é um pequeno familiar mais interessante para nós, mas já sei como são as mulheres quando metem uma coisa na cabeça. Ontem também lhe mostrei o C3 Picasso mas apenas disse que era engraçado.[8b]
A motorização que mais me interessa no Fiesta é o 1.6 TDCi com o equipamento da versão Titanium. No RU custa 20.600 já totalmente equipado, aqui vai ser muito caro, provavelmente ficará muito perto de um segmento C.
