New Ford Fiesta… from China! Review.

The Black Friday sale is now live:

This is the brand new !

's most current hatchback rolls up with an extremely low-cost starting rate of just ₤ 18,000! The concern is, if you're looking for a spending plan car as your next car, should you consider it over other economical options like the Dacia Duster?

For beginners, let's take a look at the design. On the outdoors, the 3 is reasonably clever. There is nothing too over-the-top or special about it, however it looks pretty enticing. There's a big opening in the lower part of the front end, and along the side there are creases to provide it some meaning. There's also a set of clever taillights at the back. It might not be that unique, but it's definitely not offending in any way.

However, unlike the exterior, the interior is even more special. Provided the cost it's still fairly well built, with leatherette included throughout the dash and other cabin areas. There may be some scratchy plastic when you reach a bit lower, however it's to be expected on an automobile that is so cost effective. There's an infotainment screen on the centre of the dash and some physical buttons, and the seats are pretty comfy, too.

When it comes to efficiency, there's just one alternative available. It's a 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine coupled with an electrical motor. It's not a traditional set-up, with the gas engine largely used to power the motor. However, all you require to understand is that it can produce 194hp, and hit 60mph in just 8 seconds.

There are two trim levels to select from, and the top-of-the-range vehicle costs just ₤ 21,000! So is it a must-buy? Stick to Mat and see on your own!

      All European car brands are rubbish – except for Porsche’s 911 model.
      All European car brands are losing tremendous value as a used vehicle in the US, while in China they are being bought less (with huge discounts when buying new vehicles) and less every year. If you want to believe in fairy tales about the “superiority” of Europe and the “subhumans” from China – go ahead.
      You have to understand that nothing is eternal, not human life, not one’s eternal domination.
      If you really believe that the Mercedes S-Klasse has the same importance for customers as it did a couple of decades ago or that the BMW is the “ultimate driving machine” – it is not..

If the owner before is a maniac, you will need suspension bushing as well. Or even a new O2 sensor if they run on crappy fuel.(may be all fuel in Europe is good). Few dents here and there with paint come off need to touch up before rust set in. that is what I get when I found myself in for the first car. A 05 Em2 civic,.

    The 7 year warranty is a little misleading, things like the infotainment system are only covered for the first 3 years, engine, gearbox, suspension etc for 3 years, the only thing that seems to be covered from year 4 onwards is anti-perforation and the high voltage battery is actually covered for 8 years & 100k miles, so I wouldn’t be crowing about a 7 year warranty giving peace of mind for a brand that seems to be unreliable, when not much is actually covered after 3 years

      @ Very true, I was merely making a point as he said MG finished bottom for the last 2 years in a row for reliability and then mentioned that you get a 7 year warranty, as if to ease any potential fears, because the warranty really isn’t a full 7 year coverage of the things that’ll likely go wrong

      Spot on! I’ve recently discovered a very similar situation with the MG ZS (Petrol variant).

      That being said, I’m yet to hear of any warranty which doesn’t start to degrade/ become more difficult to claim under over its term.

      The MG warranty does appear to be one of the worst.

      @cpollard1981

      @ I definitely agree, Kia’s 7 years does reduce what’s covered but essentially, MG are advertising a 3 year warranty as a 7 year warranty and unless you do your research, none of the dealers actually tell you
