The interior also saw a notable increase in size, as the Civic emerged into the compact segment. Another first, to stay competitive in the fast-growing market, was the addition of a Hybrid model. The public adored the Civics eighth generation, and it showed by the sheer number of awards it won. The Civic was available in three variants, a 4-door compact sedan, a 5-door hatchback, and a 2-door coupe sharing the same platform as the sedan.
Under the hood was a SOHC 1. Compared to earlier models, the HP it produced was impressive. The latest rendition of the Hybrid model found itself paired to a CVT for the first time.
This coupling allowed US consumers to enjoy a staggering MPG in either the city or on the highway. Due to the financial crisis, Honda aimed to make the Civic even more fuel-efficient, leading to the ninth-generation being smaller and lighter. New tech like "Eco Assist" helped to bolster mileage without lowering performance. By now, ABS brakes were standard on all models, including both coupe, and sedan. As well as a new multilink rear suspension to improve ride quality. The latest version of the Si came with a brand-new 2.

Standard kit is also impressive, with base models getting air conditioning, hill start assist and a body coloured rear spoiler. Ford Fiesta 1. Real MPG was created following thousands of readers telling us that their cars could not match the official figures.

Everything feels sturdy and built with purpose, while the cabin architecture has a simple but intelligent layout, which makes it a pleasant place to be. The Fiesta is s urprisingly spacious and has little trouble accommodating four adults, with comfortable seats and decent amounts of head and leg room.
For the driver, the seating - even in base models - is particularly good, with excellent lumbar and back support. The Fiesta also boasts excellent visibility, with clear views of the road and all four corners of the car. There is also lots of adjustment in the seat and steering wheel, with it taking us just a few seconds to find the perfect driving position.
Ford has resisted the urge to overcomplicate things when it comes to the dashboard and based the centre console on the layout of a mobile phone, with a large multi-functional display at the top and simple buttons below. However, it retains the same phone layout and is just as easy to use, despite the increase in buttons and functions.
The Fiesta can also be specified with direct voice commands, which allows the driver to select music, radio stations or make phone calls with the sound of their voice. It all works with a wonderful simplicity, which should win over even the biggest of technophobes. This second key is programmed with parameters set by the parents, for instance limiting top speed, setting off warning sounds if they forget their seatbelts and limiting the maximum volume of the radio.
An adjustable load floor compartment can be specified as a paid for option, which makes it considerably easier to load and unload heavy items. Which car seat will suit you? Offered with nine engines - three diesels and six petrols — the Fiesta has plenty of choice when it comes to powerplants, but the most important addition to the range is the inclusion of the EcoBoost engine. The turbocharged three-cylinder EcoBoost unit is available in two outputs in the Fiesta - PS and PS - and both return a claimed For outright economy and performance, the PS unit is our preferred engine as it strikes a good balance between torque and refinement.
Make no mistake, the EcoBoost is marvel of engineering and a great all round engine, but the fuel economy of the PS unit will tumble to around 30mpg if it is driven with any hint of gusto. Diesels include the 1.
However, regardless of which engine you choose, the Fiesta will always return a composed and enjoyable ride. Ford has built itself a strong reputation for producing cars that offer a rewarding drive and the latest Fiesta is no different, with excellent grip and road holding.
The Fiesta is also extremely quiet, with low road noise and good all round refinement. The suspension is supple, soaking up potholes and lumps in the road, while the five-speed manual gearbox facilitates smooth gear changes.
The Fiesta is extremely nimble at low speeds, which makes it ideal for town and city driving, while its compact dimensions make it supreme for dicing through rush hour traffic. The steering is also excellent, with a nice weighted feel and plenty of feedback. Despite its compact size, the Fiesta feels a lot larger than it really is and inspires confidence when confronted with challenging conditions.
Sometimes small cars can feel a bit jittery when presented with poor weather or high crosswinds, yet the Fiesta excels and rarely feels loose footed or unpredictable. Both the Style and Zetec trims get inch wheels as standard, which return the best all round comfort, while the higher spec models feature the larger inch wheels. Early reports of 1.
Apparently Ford is working on a fix. It would free up and become more economical on - miles. Switching off and on again cleared both faults. Apparently, ECU should have been updated as part of the service.
Car now running 10mpg more economically than before the service. Begs the question why a non DMF Fiesta clutch and slave cylinder are routinely replaced under warranty, whereas if the clutch fails on a Focus 1. Same fuel pump type no longer available and reader waiting for almost 2 weeks for new type of replacement pump.
Reason was transmission oil seal failure allowing transmission fluid to leak onto the dry clutch pack. Ford has stopped supplying the original seals as replacements. As of 19th October, Ford has introduced a kit of parts to fix Powershifts that should include a redesigned seal. Battery goes flat overnight.
Ford apparently now recognise a problem with new Fiestas and Kugas fitted with DAB radios and is trying to fix the issue. In the meantime Ford advises leaving the radio switched on at the radio and switching off via the ignition. Illogically, this cuts the current better than switching off at the radio.
Reader advised to leave radio permanently on, and volume turned down if radio not required. Ford 'fix' now delayed to end February Probably due to the known fault of transmission input shaft oil seal failing and leaking fluid into the twin dry clutch. Likely to be the DAB radio. IB5 gearbox failed after 5 months, clutch replaced after seven months, gears worse again after 11 months and total of 6, miles.
TrustFord diagnosed a faulty clutch slave cylinder and put a claim in to Ford for that. Told by TrustFord that jamming and crunching is a "characteristic" of the IB5 gearbox. Dealer suggested software cure.
More likely to need new transmission oil seal. Likely to be caused by the same shaft seal oil leak as on other dry clutch Powershifts. Probably failing clutch slave cylinder. Works only on maximum speed. Suspect resistor pack, but fan motor must be checked in case the problem is with it rather than with the resistor.
If only the resistor is replaced and the fan motor has a fault it could lead to overheating and a similar wiring fire as in RHD Vauxhall Zafira Bs. Now, at 45 months old and 46, miles cylinder head gasket has failed. Ford dealer refuses any liability. Possibly a fault with the watercooling for the turbo.
AA called out 6 times. Battery replaced once. The next stage is to replace the dry clutch pack and alsp replace the transmission fluid. As long as the fluid has been replaced at 3 yearly intervals, Ford now warrants Powershifts for 5 years. Selling dealer thought probably clutch slave cylinder, but said he wasn't liable because it was an ex-driving school car.
But he is liable because he sold a car with a pre-existing fault. For the past few months it seemed to have engaged but on lifting the clutch the gears have ground. On the second try it has engaged. However, twice the gear has engaged first time only to 'pop out' after moving the car a yard or two. Probably the standard clutch slave cylinder problem. Ford of Thailand promised action. The dealer said no problem with the gearbox at first service. At 2nd service owner complained again and Service Manager said it is because there is no synchromesh on reverse gear.
Then it happened to him as reversed the car to take it to the Service Bay. Within 1, miles owner twice reported clutch problems - smell, inability to engage gears.
On diagnosis a drive around the car park no problems were found and the car was fine in service until this week at 30, miles the clutch went. Trust Ford refuses to treat this as a warranty repair unless some other fault is found such as a duff clutch slave cylinder. Dealer tested several others and found they were the same. Despite numerous software adjustments by Ford dealer a intermittent pronounced juddering on acceleration at low speeds has persisted.
Coolant drained to max, but after another journey rose back above max. Suggests to me an airlock in the cooling system and there have been reports of the coolant pipe to the turbo fracturing slightly allowing loss of coolant.
Engine therefore rinning on not enough coolant so urgent attention required. The first time was 14 October and it took 5 weeks to "solve" the problem. The problem repeated on about 21 November after having the vehicle back for a short period of time. Dealer again had the vehicle for several weeks before returning it "repaired".
After several delays, now having new dry clutch pack fitted. Dealer has offered to put in a goodwill claim to Ford, but because one of the services was not done at a Ford dealership, they don't think owner has much chance of success. So our recommendation is not to leave a belt change on these past , miles.
Still judders and cuts out. Advised owner to check the window channels. Currently, there are more than 4, past or current owners who have joined the lawsuit. Thousands of Ford Focus and Ford Fiesta owners have reported consistent jerking and shuddering while driving these vehicles, and many have experienced delayed acceleration and deceleration. In some instances, drivers reported unintended acceleration when stopped at traffic lights, and other times the cars would roll backwards on an incline.
Ford has issued more than 20 Technical Service Bulletins TSB on these models to alert dealership service technicians about known mechanical issues. A TSB is not public and dealers are not mandated to contact owners to complete the repairs.
