2010 Ford Fiesta [ARCHIVED]

[eggman]

Would anyone know where the Fiesta is being displayed now?

Wasn't able to go to the CAMPI show and would really need to see the much talked about cabin space. I'm guessing this would be the deciding factor if were going to go for the Fiesta or the City.

Thanks!

2nd week ng September may available nang test drive units sa mga dealers.

Thanks sir eggman but would you know where we can see the Fiesta before September? Would just want to see the interior space kasi for now.

Only the top of the line Fiesta Sport has them...


...lower models like the Fiesta Trend don't.

Wow. This just received a Top Safety Pick rating by the US IIHS.

It also has a 5-star EuroNCAP rating.


Even if the local/ASEAN version doesn't have the additional knee airbag and side curtain airbags, at least you know it has a very solid safety cell for the passengers.

Structural Strength for Safety

Under Ford’s safety strategy, high-strength steels are used in areas of the vehicle where structural strength and reinforcement are essential for crashworthiness. This includes the floor structure, front rails and beams and new Fiesta’s ultra-rigid, integrated bodyside reinforcement ring to protect against side impact.

High strength materials were used to create a very stiff B-pillar section and stiff rocker section fore and aft. Impact loads are also transferred laterally to the opposite side of the car via chassis cross-members, to maximise dissipation of side impact forces.

This integrated bodyside reinforcement ring resists side intrusion in the unlikely event of a collision and helps the body structure manage the energy of other impacts effectively – be they frontal, offset or rear.

“Some people believe that just counting the number of airbags can gauge safety performance,” says Joerg Beyer, Chief Carline Engineer for new Fiesta. “At Ford, we count first on creating a very strong body structure to protect all occupants. With this robust structure as the first point of defence, we can then optimise our Intelligent Protection System to provide a tailored, protective response.”

To create the bodyside reinforcement ring, high-strength-steel elements were welded into an ultra-stiff structure whose crash performance was carefully developed using advanced computer simulation technology, long before its first real crash tests.


Elements of the bodyside reinforcement ring include:

■ A-Pillar – New Fiesta’s slim A-pillar forms the forward part of the vehicle’s stylish roof arch. It is fashioned from ultra-high-strength aluminised Boron steel. The A-pillar delivers the strength and rigidity required for crashworthiness while remaining fashionably slim, as a key element in Fiesta’s dynamic design, and to minimise its potential to obscure driver visibility

■ B-Pillar – Another Boron steel component, the Fiesta B-pillar reinforcement is shaped for ultra-high strength. Its job is to resist intrusion and retain its structural rigidity in the case of side impacts, while providing the strength to help the vehicle safety cell retain its shape in other crash modes

■ Rocker Panels – New Fiesta’s rocker panels, the lower rails to which the B-pillar is fixed, are crafted from very-high-strength, dual-phase steels renowned for their energy absorption properties

■ Rocker Baffles – To optimise the side-impact performance of the vehicle, uniquely shaped, twin-shear baffles are welded to the inner rocker panel. These stabilise the rocker section to ensure that it performs optimally in the event of a side impact. This is designed to make the rocker panel and B-pillar act as a system, with the B-pillar retaining its shape and its connectivity to the rocker panel in a side impact

■ Side Roof Arch – Another dual-phase steel component – the side roof arch – joins with the A-Pillar to form new Fiesta’s strong roof profile and provide a robust top attachment point for the B-pillar

■ Lower A-Pillar – The lower A-pillar is formed of very-high-strength, dual-phase 600-grade steel

you may want to check the owner's manual for the ford fiesta here... EUDM nga lang...

Model and color viewer from Ford's Thailand site. If you look closely, the sport model's headlights are different. I don't know if they would be in the PH version though.

I think its just the image they used in the color viewer/picker.
The Fiesta Sport and lower models like the Trend more or less have the same headlights.

Fiesta Sport (with aftermarket Concept One wheels).

tama... pare-pareho lahat ng headlamps across all variants, nasa brochure, twin chamber halogen na headlamp

Hey guys. our family's considering a Fiesta or a Focus, among other cars.

Can anyone recommend a good dealer/branch? I see a lot of cars from Ford Global City... Are they any good? I'm talking about labor charges, customer service, the attitudes of the SA's... yeah. Any SA in particular na magaling talaga? Thankssss.

[moxxxs]

2nd week ng September may available nang test drive units sa mga dealers.

what would be the variant of the test drive model/s? would you know? sana meron from both 1.6 and 1.4

There were some complaints with service there before. Don't know if they improved SAs or kicked the bad ones out yet. Try asking around at http://forum.fordclubph.com. Requires registration but it's free. Ask around for opinions on the better dealers in Manila.

All variants.

Saan nga pala ang exaust pipe ng Fiesta? Parang di ko nakita, kahit sa pictures wala.

Face down. Tago sa ilalim ng bumper

[cyplanr]

wala ata ako nakitang cover sa ilalim ng engine, ok lang ba iyon?

like what niky said, its behind the bumper pointing down, its actually a dual tip exhaust. I took a photo because i had a feeling someone would eventually ask.

wala ata ako nakitang cover sa ilalim ng engine, ok lang ba iyon?

I guess it shouldn't be much of a problem (our Fords survived long without them), besides I don't think people would take their Fiestas off-road.

That black spoiler-like aero piece mounted behind the front bumper probably also helps deflect some small flying road debris.

AG4 -- curious lang talaga ako, do you work for Ford Phils?

No, I don't work for Ford, just a fan. I'm sort of from a Ford family.
