Hi All,

Newbie to the site here - Just ordered mine CANT WAIT

The EATC is Electric Air Temperature Control = Climate Control to you and me - the same thats standard in the Titanium spec

One question I hope someone on here can answer that my dealer can't -
WILL IT HAVE CRUISE CONTROL AND FOLDING WING MIRRORS??

The US version is quoted as 197bhp, for what is the same car. A Ford insider said that they're all the same but the UK are quoting a lower figure. Don't know how much truth there is in it, but will eagerly wait the first one on a dyno!

Maybe the yanks are quoting engine 197hp, opposed to europe quoting 180PS - as well as accounting for 13%+ trans loss, and a marketing way to lower tax bands and boost safety rating???

Probably wrong, just a thought though!

Mountune do a kit for the same engine in the Focus already that converts it from 182PS to 200PS so expect the same for the Fiesta eventually:

Maybe this is on the septics version already? or a variation of anyway...

Was hopping they'd make it a bit wider. Think the wheels look weak as well. I actually think a normall zetec s with the 17" wheels looks nicer :/

My mam and dad used to have a mk7 fiesta.That was a nice car to drive.It felt bigger inside than it was.

Ive had a few fiestas from mk2s to mk5s and the mk7 was a nicer car to drive.

Could be very interesting, could see it running rings around the competition.
It works bloody well on the Focus ST.

I allready have my Fiesta ST180 since 3 days..

Im wondered about the handling, it reminds me at the Focus RS..
It have a great Gearbox and handling, ok my last car was a Focus ST 225 and
the Fiesta is really smal car against it but its big enough for a daily driver.

I was wanting to test drive one and Ford in NI basically have none to take out for a test drive. So either drive a random persons car or order one and be 50/50 and maybe be disappointed.
