What did the Ford Fiesta ECOnetic look like?
The ECOnetic looked like any other Fiesta, it was simply a refined version of the popular little front-wheel drive car that was dedicated to saving fuel through better aerodynamic efficiency, weight loss, lower rolling resistance and a smaller, more efficient engine.
What kind of car was the Ford Fiesta?
Ford pursued the latter course and produced the Fiesta ECOnetic. Ford touted the little hatch as the first of a whole series of cars aimed at maximising fuel efficiency it would produce.
Are there any problems with the Ford Fiesta?
A couple of reports suggest there can be problems with the automatic regeneration of the diesel particulate filter. When that happens the dealer has to clean the filter, and that can cost money.
How much fuel does a Ford Fiesta use?
The highway fuel consumption figure is 3.2l/100kms, the urban cycle fuel consumption is 4.6l/100kms and the combined cycle is 3.7l/100kms. During the launch drive program around Canberra, Ford set us a challenge to drive as economically as possible over a variety of roads.
