2014 Ford Fiesta EcoBoost: Nimble economy Brendan McAleer
contributing writer
Ford’s smallest vehicle remains a happy-looking little thing, with a grille somewhat reminiscent of an Aston Martin. However, I wouldn’t count on anyone being fooled into thinking this scrappy little hatchback was blue-blood royalty. The SE model designation means this particular flavour of Fiesta comes with 15-inch steel wheels and hubcaps, and its diminutive shape is pure economy car. However, it’s a handsome little car, with clean lines and a wellformed silhouette. The grille, the hood, the headlights and the taillights are all updated for the 2014 model year for all Fiestas. Overall, it’s an improvement.

snug on the inside too. However, you’d not call it an econobox. The plastics are moulded in a pleasing pattern, and the fabric covering the seats looks like it should be durable. Space in the back is tight, as you’d expect for a subcompact, but the Fiesta is larger than others in its class, and a workable four-seater (add in a fifth passenger and you might as well all sign up to enter clown college). The trunk is a useful 422 litres, and you can of course fold all the seats down to carry larger items. Up front, the Fiesta has a fairly basic control layout, with buttons and digital readouts that would put you in mind of an early 2000s flip-phone. It’s not the most stylish execution in the world, and compared to the colour screens available as an option on highertrim Fiestas, it’s fairly basic in operation. The single central joystick just feels a

Lopping off a cylinder and bolting on a turbo gives the EcoBoostequipped Fiesta a relatively peppy 123hp and a solid 148lb/ft of torque. Considering all this power is coming from just 1.0L of displacement – the smallest engine Ford makes – that’s actually quite impressive. Moreover, it’s nearly a third more torque than the standard 1.6L engine and most of that’s available at very low rpm. Getting off the very light clutch, the Fiesta’s little three-pot engine grumbles

bit flimsy, and the screen readout is of a size that you should really only navigate when pulled over. However, the audio works fine once you’ve got it all set up, and there are plenty of power outlets and storage cubbies. As an optional extra, this Fiesta also had heated seats and automatic climate control.
