February 1st, 2011 09:38 AM #11Once i see it in actual the hatchback, maybe i might change my mind.. Hmmm since im not thinking of getting the fiesta sport. Mazda2 might be also possible option for me. Yah from youtube, mazda2 really is better car for on the road.. I just saw a Ford fiesta video right now and the rearseat legroom seems to be okay. If that is the case jazz is out, i might check the A/T mazda2 and Fiesta, but not the sport version because of the limited budget.
By the way, which of the 3 have low maintenance cost and PMS(still one of my very concern).... Fiesta, mazda2 , jazz?

*Tradewind: they'll have the same cost... which is expensive!
just kidding.
the fiesta and mazda2 are probably gonna have the same PMS cost, and have the same service intervals...
kahit vios mahal pag sa casa eh.
kung gusto mo sureball na sobrang mura ang maintenance after ng warranty... vios talaga ang number 1 kasi maraming, maraming parts.. (kasi taxi)
Mazford told me that they don't have mazda2 or fiesta parts at the moment, kasi talagang bago pa yung dalawang yan... but they'll have them once cars start going out of warranty
yeah, that's why the fiesta probably handles more predictably at the limit - it has an electronic stability program.
both cars got 4 stars at the EURO NCAP, by the way.
both cars handle remarkably well with the mazda2 having a sharper, more direct feel. It's almost 100 kg lighter than its ford cousin. heehee.
if the fiesta had a manual mode for its 6 speed DCT and a way to turn off the ESP... perfect na talaga!

February 1st, 2011 03:43 PM #14Hay hindi ko pala naintindihan to...Panu ba to basahin. Pag mas mababa yung RPM mas better FC?
"the 4A/T of the mazda 2 cruises at 2,700-2800 RPM, while the 5A/T of the city/jazz has it at 2,500. the 6A/T of the fiesta does it in 2,300 RPM, though."

In theory yeah lower RPM's mean lower fuel consumption cause engine works less... The best car is to get peak power and peak torque at the lowest possible RPM. Especially peak torque cause that is what moves the car forward...

yep. the fiesta is undeniably the king when it comes to highway fuel economy.
if a non-broken in mazda2 can get 14 km/liter on a highway run (4AT sedan, I think it's more like 16km/liter now, though), mas matindi pa fiesta. hehe.
the mazda2 and the city/jazz garners the same fuel economy...
and in the city, pareparehas lang sila, mostly
there's more to it than just engine speed though, I think the tranny stall speed also makes a difference in the fuel economy, but I'm not too well versed with that.

looking at the specs sheet again...
http://www.auto-searchphilippines.co...ordFiesta.html
wala palang real time FC meter ang fiesta trend, only the fiesta sport gets this nifty feature..
and walang USB support yung fiesta trend? and no rear speakers?
but I'm sure meron naman yan sa aftermarket.
seems you guys stumbled on some hidden "sport mode" sa fiesta. hehe.Last edited by scharnhorst; February 1st, 2011 at 07:30 PM.

Yep only the Fiesta Sport gets all the fuel computers, distance computers, temperature, average speed, distance to empty...
And yes no USB for Trend and no Rear Speakers, 4 speaker at the front... The Sport has 6 speakers, 4 at the front and 2 at the back...
That's why I praise the Fiesta Sport for its value for money proposition... Just P50,000 more than a 1.6L Trend pero yung things na makukuha mo ang dami talaga... Kaya nga its the best seller in the Fiesta line up even though its the most expensive... Oh it also has an OEM backup sensor to boot...

i was in this exact situation last month, though my 1st requirement is FC and next is parts availability, (since i travel 120+ km daily) so I settled for vios e AT, but, if FC is not an issue for me, for sure fiesta ang kinuha ko. Up to this day, whenever i see fiesta sport sa road, napapa lingon ako, sarap siguro i drive nun, but pag nagkakarga na ko gas, napapangiti na lang ako, at sabi, buti na lang vios kinuha ko.
depende yan kung ano ang top priority mo, kung porma/performance = fiesta; kung tipid mode = vios.
Eh ngayon BBM has just ordered the suspension of the fining of ebikes and calls for a grace period...
