Car Review - 2011 Ford Fiesta 1.6 Tendency Sedan Features & Specifications


2011 Ford Fiesta 1.6 Tendency Sedan - Just similar the Ford Focus earlier it, everyone’s inward dearest with the hatchback version of the Fiesta. And y'all can’t blame them; it’s absolutely stunning from exactly almost whatever angle in addition to with the correct paintjob (the molten orangish hue comes to mind), you’ve got 1 of the best head-turners coin tin give the sack buy. But piece everyone’s all oohs in addition to ahhs over the Fiesta hatchback, tucked neatly amongst it is the as capable Ford Fiesta sedan.


There’s no denying that the Fiesta sedan’s non the prettier of the siblings, but don’t allow the awkward proportions fool you. Granted the torso looks similar a pattern afterthought, the Fiesta sedan nevertheless carries with it some ‘street cred’—some umph if y'all will, particularly compared to other cars out there. The big, sculpted eyes in addition to broad trapezoidal rima oris are really eye-catching piece the interplay of abrupt lines in addition to pronounced bulges connote a young, sporty demeanor. Besides the awkwardly grafted-on trunk, the blacked out front end fog light housing (the Fiesta sedan doesn’t come upwards with front end fog lamps) is something to live desired as it lends an econo-box vibe to an otherwise stylish, upscale looking car.

The Fiesta sedan’s cockpit also suffers from the really same problem: at that topographic point are likewise much blank buttons scattered throughout. Of course, this is the exclusively genuine electrical charge y'all tin give the sack degree at the Fiesta as it is downright modern, funky in addition to practical all at the same time. The topographic point is mounted on the high side, perfect inward providing fantabulous visibility all unopen to the car. The steering wheel, though adjustable exclusively inward tilt, offers goodness reach; in addition to the thick-rimmed bike itself is squeamish in addition to comfortable to concur despite beingness finished inward urethane. The instrumentation, including the center-mounted multi-information covert may await small, but thank y'all to the unproblematic typeface, is perfectly legible in addition to slow to understand. The ease of the buttons in addition to controls are a flake confusing for those who’re to a greater extent than proficient with Japanese cars, but afterwards a piece you’ll teach used to all but 1 of them: the key door lock. The location of the key door lock push isn’t a large issue: it’s really European, sitting atop the hazard switch on the middle stalk; what is an upshot is that it doesn’t give whatever visual indication as to whether the doors are closed or not, except for a miniscule LED calorie-free on the switch itself. With all the bukas-kotse in addition to carnapping incidents out there, redundant visual cues to the door locks are appreciated.


The overall atmosphere within the Fiesta is luxurious in addition to upscale, to the indicate of disbelief at its P 766,000 cost tag. Though y'all don’t teach such fancy materials similar Bluetooth hands-free in addition to a voice-command sound organization (that’s exclusively on the Fiesta Sport hatchback), the Fiesta sedan’s nevertheless nicely loaded. Plus, the interior check in addition to complete is quite good, with soft-touch plastics adorning the upper dash in addition to most, if not, all of the controls.

Space-wise, the Fiesta’s nevertheless non the cast leader—that award nevertheless belongs to the Honda Jazz—nonetheless, y'all can’t deny the Ford’s tidy packaging. Despite its minor stature (it’s smaller than the Jazz), the interior room is comparable. And piece the Fiesta hatchback’s got the looks, the sedan shows off its practical side the 2d y'all popular the trunk. The compartment’s depression loading meridian makes for slow access; coupling that with a long, deep torso in addition to you’ve got plenty infinite to check 2 balik-bayan boxes (no kidding)!


With 121 horsepower in addition to 151 Nm of torque from its 1.6-liter engine, y'all already know that the Fiesta’s going to live goodness to drive. But that’s non plenty to fix y'all for the reality of how it blows the doors off the competition—convincingly. The engine’s gutsy, providing lots of low-end launch power—perfect for those impromptu stoplight duels in addition to traffic squeezing maneuvers. And peachy as it is doing the urban crawl; it’s perfectly suited likewise as the speeds create up. The surreptitious is Ford’s PowerShift 6-speed dual clutch automatic. It’s highly responsive in addition to smooth, giving the Fiesta a zippy attitude. It provides effortless merging mightiness as good as quick progress to warrant a speeding ticket or two. The PowerShift also lends the Fiesta some commendable fuel mileage figures: 9.5 km/L inward the metropolis despite a heavy correct foot.

Typically cars of this cast are neutered inward terms of driving excitement; non then with the Fiesta which manages to strike the perfect residue betwixt firmness in addition to comfort. You experience potholes in addition to other route imperfections, for sure, but you’re also well-connected to the route beneath you. The steering answer in addition to feedback are exactly excellent. The Fiesta is an all-rounder: perfect for the automobile guy who enjoys hitting the route on Lord's Day mornings exactly for fun, piece remaining accessible that “car-as-appliance” drivers volition nevertheless respect it fun when they practise the groceries. The Fiesta feels correct at abode whether you’re darting inward in addition to out of traffic or blasting out of the metropolis in addition to onto roads that are really fun to drive.  


Before considering the Ford Fiesta hatchback exactly because it looks good, stand upwards dorsum a 2d in addition to reckon the Ford Fiesta sedan as well. Again, the Fiesta sedan may non live the prettier of the siblings, but it may really good live the smarter in addition to to a greater extent than practical of the two. The Ford Fiesta 1.6 Trend sedan nevertheless carries the same amount of driving excitement, exclusively this time, given a much to a greater extent than practical rear. But whatever y'all decide, the Ford Fiesta, inward whatever shape or engine size provides driving excitement without breaking the bank. And that’s the best intelligence of all.
