2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost

[coolhyperion]

Saan kaya may ganyang price na Blaze? hehe

[carwhacko]

Medyo mura talaga presyo ng gasolina banda dito samin. Hihi molino area.

[carwhacko]

Okay nga yung Total Excellium. Last fill up ko I used Excellium and I averaged 9.5km/L and that's mixed city and hiway pero baka next fill up ko will use Seaoil since 46/L sila ngayon. Hehe!

Sir Egan marame kayang owners ng ecoboost dun sa fcp? Sana pwde tayong mageb.

*carwhacko - dumadami na Fiesta Ecoboost sa daan. Sa FCP, dami na rin new members na may Ecoboost. Oks yun kung magkita-kita mga owners and share their presonal experiences with their car.

Mga sir kamusta po ang fc ng ecoboost and performance... really considering to get this car soon... tia!

[Egan101]

*waikiki83 - in terms of performance, there's no other car in its price range that can match the Fiesta Ecoboost. In terms of fuel efficiency, it can do 20km/L (5L per 100km) on the highway if you're cruising at 80kmh at less than 2000rpm but that will be a boring drive (hehehe). City driving conditions will defer on your usual route. I average 8km/L on Sucat or Makati CBD rush hour traffic averaging 15kmh. Light to moderate city traffic conditions will yield around 10 km/L or better.

Thank you sir sa feedback... may nbbasa kasi ako problems sa powershift ni ford affected po b ung fiesta ecoboost?

[Egan101]

So far, wala pa naman owner ng Fiesta Ecoboost na nag complain about transmission issues sa FCP. Please take note that some owners of Ford cars with DCT are always comparing traditional AT to DCT when they are not the same. DCT is an automated manual tranny; it feels a bit clanky at low speeds and has some mechanical noises due to its gears engaging. In a straight road (like the highway), DCT is so responsive and quick to engage thus pushing the Fiesta faster to speed. The Fiesta Ecoboost can do 0 to 100kmh in just above 9 seconds. That's quick for a subcompact and can easily smoke bigger engined compacts.

Thanks sir egan sa feedback with a bit of luck ill be having my chili orange this afternoon...

Na test drive mo ba? If not, ask for a test drive so you will know how it drives. However, if you have the unit ready, just test it out yourself.

Chili orange din sana yung gusto ko pero naunahan ako ng isa pang buyer sa available units back in July. Mine is Highlight Silver.

During the break-in period (less than 1000 km), wag mo muna i-redline. Just ride it on your normal daily route. Fuel consumption will be a bit higher during break-in period. FC gets better the more you use it. However, on rush hour bad traffic conditions (Makati CBD, BGC, Sucat, Bicutan, airport road, C5), it will be just like other cars with 1.5L or 1.6L engines. Also, since it has only 3 cylinders, idle rpm is a bit higher (1000-1200 rpm during break-in, 1000 rpm later on).

If you want to test how nimble the car handles, drive the car thru the Ternate-Nasugbu highway. It has a lot of zigzags, hairpins, and vertical elevation changes. Just make sure the rear passengers are strapped in if you're zipping thru the 2-lane road as the Fiesta Ecoboost has no handles for passengers to grab on.

Thanks sir sa advice most probably ill be testing the unit directly n... ill post the picture the soonest...

[carwhacko]

Hindi ka magkakamali boss waikiki! Hehe! Ganda ng handling at performance nito. At matipid siya (depending on your driving habits) my fc is now at 9.5km/L mixed city and hiway

[carwhacko]

And my odo reading is at 3,000kms plus.

[Egan101]

I'm nearing 6k km already. I do hope the traffic condition improves in Sucat. It's a grind each morning just trying to get into Skyway or SLEX. With the worsening traffic with the coming of the Xmas season, I expect FC to be higher.

*waikiki83 - one thing else, use 95RON fuel (Shell VPN+, Total Excellium, Petron XCS, UniOil 95) on the Fiesta Ecoboost. It's the recommended fuel for your engine. If you have the luxury of fueling something better (Shell VPN+ Racing, SeaOil Extreme97, Petron Blaze), that's much better assuming you hit the highways everyday.

Ano na fc mo sir egan? I'm currently using seaoil and phoenix premium sa gas. Basta ubusin ko muna laman ng tank saka fill up bago.

With the worsening traffic conditions in my normal route (Paranaque, Makati, and Taguig), I can only do 8 km/L. Even the Skyway and SLEX are in a crawling state during rush hours. However, on some days when traffic is light in Skyway/SLEX, 5L per 100km is easily achievable. Heck, even with a cruising speed of 100kmh (rpm of just above 2000) in Skyway during light traffic, fuel efficiency is around 6.5L per 100km.

Nakuha k n sir.... super satisfied xcs lang naikarga k knina sir at paubos n ung bigay ng kasa... pagkaubos ko nito try k ung premium ng phoenix at wala malapit n shell station smen e... tiga cavite ako sir so daily ako sa cavitex :D

[Egan101]

*waikiki83 - congrats on your new ride! Check the tire pressure at baka medyo bloated from the casa. Keep it within 31-32 psi kung 1-2 passengers lang karga mo daily.
