Indeed the Fiesta has the best fuel consumption in its class based
from actual test drives in Thailand:
Ford Fiesta 1.6L Sport
City: 7.5L/100km = 13.33km/L
Highway: 4.5L/100km= 22.22km/L (Prius like FC!)
Ford Fiesta 1.4L Treand Sedan
City: 8.1L/100km = 12.34km/L
Highway: 5.9L/100km = 16.9km/L
TO: All Fiesta owners
What's your actual Fuel consumption here?! We need this info before considering this mighty Fiesta. Thanks a lot!
Wow. Nacurious lang ako, bakit mas naging fuel efficient and 1.6 na sport compared sa 1.4? Nakukulitan kasi ako sa pumipilit sa akin na 1.3 na vios or city ang bilhin dalhin iyon ang pinakafuel efficient.
I bet those are just SA or let me say "marketing" Fuel Consumption claims, I just know since I own one of the most fuel efficient cars to date in our country, and with the traffic conditions here, kahit ang .8l car ko hirap abutin ang ganyang figures.
Example would be 22km/l for a 1.6 in a highway, no matter how advanced the technology of the fiesta is, kahit controlled highway driving hirap paabutin iyan sa ganyang figures. Kahit maintaining ka ng 80km/hr * overdrive gear in a highway, mataas na mataas na ang 15-18km/l sa highway.
but then again I don't own one so I can't prove this, yung owners ng Fiesta ang makakapagsabi ng totoo.
Waiting for actual Fiesta owners to post their real world (Metro Manila, Philippines) FC figures.
:wonder:
1.6 models have the dual-clutch 6-speed Powershift transmission.Quote:

First time for me to hear about the 22km/L figure...
According to a Motioncars test...
"Gingerly modulate the throttle and you’ll get close to 17 km/L."
Fiesta Sedan 1.6 Powershift...
nag pa full tank ako last Sunday at 735 klm tachometer reading at Petron nlex going to manila....then pa full tank uli ako kahapon at same pump at same station at 1021 klm tachometer reading when i went to manila yesterday....24.96 liters naikarga ......it was a round trip from nueva ecija to mandaluyong....11.45 kilometers/liter fuel consumption ko
(1021-735/24.96)....its a mix city/highway drive but mostly highway at di matrapik ng Sunday...hope it gets better....Petron extra unleaded karga ko lagi.
this will improve more, pero hindi yung dramatic improvement. siguro after 5k km pwede ka nang umabot ng mga 13-14km/l.Quote:

at nlex around 100-120 kph....regular highway around 60-80....smooth driving..i always try to make the auto tranny upshift as soon as possible...actually i always compute mileage after every fulltank....parang habit ko na....Quote:

no trip meters ang trend variants:(Quote:

anyway, it's a small drawback in Fiesta enjoyment.
as note:
tested in Thai was a Sedan:
Ford Fiesta 1.4L Trend Sedan
City: 8.1L/100km = 12.34km/L
Highway: 5.9L/100km = 16.9km/L
Mas malaki ang body nito.
The Hatch 1.4 Mt should have better figures!
What? :twak2: Normally cars even have 2 tripmeters...Quote:

If it was intended for me then yes unlike you I am no whiner... I can live with it, teka pati ba Sports walang tripmeter?Quote:

for a fair and unbias FC figures, kindly see my post sa 2010 fiesta thread archived..cguro between 80-100 po un :)
Regarding the Fiesta tripmeter
From the overseas forum….
Do give it a try. Tell us if this one works.:)Quote:
“depress the reset button for 5-6 seconds while the engine is switched on. Trip meter display (?) then appears in place of the odometer display.”
