This Ford Fiesta is powered by a 1,4-litre engine that delivers “only” 60 kW and 128 Nm of torque to the front wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The low outputs are somewhat misleading, because the Ford Fiesta feels nippy and eager around town, only really running out of punch at higher velocities and when called upon to execute an overtaking manoeuvre. The sprightly performance is perhaps a consequence of the car’s relatively low weight (1 107 kg). The engine is also impressively economical, with a real-world figure of around 7,5 litres/100 km being achievable without much effort.
