Happy owner here of a Fiesta 1.0L Ecoboost. 42k km on the odometer since I got it July 2014 and it is still the feisty hatchback that got me sold when I test drove it. It accelerates hard for a subcompact and the engine loves to be revved high. My Forester XT is quicker and faster than my Fiesta Ecoboost but I love driving the Fiesta better. It just feels more planted to the ground. Floor the gas pedal on a stoplight and the car just scoots (0-100kmh in just a few ticks above 9 seconds). Flag it hard on the highway and it still feels stable at 180 kmh.
