Best hatchback?

[glenn manikis]

As per our survey in FCP, mostly on Fiesta Sports (1.6L) units manufactured from 2011-2012 but not all. There are a few 2013 models reported though. The new Fiestas with the Aston Martin grill has the updated TCM already. The Fiesta Ecoboost was released locally 2nd quarter of 2014. So far, no reports yet of TCM failure among Ecoboost owners in FCP.

The Fiesta Ecoboost is efficient if you drive it passively. On the highway, it can do 20 km/L if you cruise at 80kmh or 15km/L if you cruise at 100-120kmh. It will not be that efficient if you make the most of the torque available and let that tachometer needle rise till overboost (5k rpm). Believe me, that tachometer needle can easily rise to redline if you have a lead foot.

Do you have actual figures, mixed city and highway driving?
