The new Fiesta comes with new drivetrains for better fuel efficiency and a better drive. It also brings a host of other tweaks to the styling and spec-sheet - a new Aston-aping snout, new wheel designs, tail-lights and minor revisions to interior trim. And the model badging has changed. The Fiesta now drops the CL, LX and Zetec badges, adopting the Ambiente, Trend and Sport monikers used by the larger Focus.

This is pretty much the same interior that we all know, but with changes to the front seat cushioning and centre stack trim. A full-colour screen allows the driver to interface with Ford’s Sync infotainment system, although the Fiesta’s button-heavy centre-stack layout carries over. But although the crowded centre stack remains, Ford’s tweaks to the equipment list mean the Fiesta is now very well kitted out for a $15k+ light car.

The six-speed Powershift twin-clutch automatic is a $2000 option and has the right number of ratios, but isn’t anywhere near as crisp on gearchanges as VW’s DSG ‘boxes. It does have much better low-speed refinement though, and its shift mapping is intuitive enough to keep the car in the right gear and avoid hunting. However the manual shift toggle switch is silly, impractical and pointless given the intelligence of the gearbox’s computer. Just stick it in D... or S if you’re gunning it.
