Holy crap, that actually looks Ok.
The interior is a massive improvement. Still not a fan of the stuck on screens companies use but better than the old interior.

Thank god!

I have NO IDEA why any car company does this. it looks absolutely atrocious. Like it's just been stuck on there with no effort. They all look truly terrible.

I think it's to cater for markets that require a lower spec car.

If they remove that, the hole they need to fill is much smaller.

Just a wild guess of course!

I liked the current model better, the new one is too soft looking IMO.

Agreed, the new one looks like a hair dressers car, nice interior tho

[adz137]

Don't like the current one but this I actually don't mind that much. Looking forward to seeing the ST version.

I can't believe you can fit 3 cylinders into a litre of anything....

Thanks mate ... that gave me a really good laugh before I call it a night.

My motorbike is a 2.3 litre with 3 cylinders
I should take a Fiesta and fit that into it

Or.. do like the guy in UK that fitted Ecoboost 2.0 in his. (current generation Fiesta). If you can fit a 2.0 Ecoboost, should be the same physical size of fitting the 2.3 litre from the Focus RS also.

Problem is just that the Fiesta looks a bit too small (too narrow) to be seen in for grown up guys.

Cheers,

1978 Honda CBX1000 .. transverse mounted .. 1047cc inline DOHC six cylinder ..

.. or if you want to really prove the point ..

1966 Honda RC166 .. transverse mounted .. 249cc inline DOHC six cylinder ..

1L 3cyl engine these days .. easy I'd say.

Actually it was a V16...my bad.

[DJM83]

Will still be over priced.....

Looks good imo, cant wait for ST

Because our spec is built in Thailand, it won't arrive here until late 2017 or even early 2018 which is pathetic as I'm interested in the new ST.
Even the new spec Fusion/Mondeo has been on sale in the U.S for around a year and we still have the older spec. What gives?

The current ST is built in Germany

ST won't be released until much further down the track anyway. For some reason they do the ST a year or 2 after the mainstream models are done, so you wouldn't be getting one for a couple years anyway if they follow that.

Finally a decent interior.
The current interior is okay, but then anything is better than the previous monstrosity with the numpad.

I think I like the look of the current model exterior better, but the new one isn't horrible.

An ST would be my car of choice if I get a small car down the track.

[RHR]

Big screen looks like an after thought. Just like the crappy looking one in the new hilux and corolla

[Sprintey]

Nice interior, well done.

[FairmontGS]

That's a good looking little car. Looking forward to the ST.

[blackf6]

Why do I see a mid mounted Barra turbo conversion?

[superyob]

My oldest daughter bought a new 2016 Fiesta ST and it is a mini rocket with the 134 kw engine. I would not go long distance in it though as the tuned for handling suspension is horrible. Not my cup of tea overall...

[simon varley]

wow, you guys actually like that interior? it's horrible!
