PumpkinSteve Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I just noticed that brand new 2011 Titaniums have a different style of 15-spoke alloy fitted: Previous alloy: 2011 alloy: Secret admission of the original wheels being poor quality? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james_60 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Hi I Rang A local dealer to me and posed the question "how come the fiesta titanium has a new style of alloy? They said it was to refresh the look of the car. I Then said was there something wrong with the old alloy wheels they then repeated "It was to refresh the look of the car" It was as if they read from a script that ford had prepared. I then rang ford relationship centre. I asked the same questions they said exactly the same answer apart from "we have had no problems with the old style alloy it was purely to refresh the look of the car" Hmmm Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin lancelott Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 So they just "refreshing the look" of the titanium only then.Hmmmmmmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_60 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I agree Kevin. Sounds fishy. Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinSteve Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Whatever the reason, I think the new style looks really nice :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londongirl8 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I agree Kevin. Sounds fishy. Jamie You guys are way too suspicious I've driven every style of Fiesta apart from Mk1 & Mk4 and I know that Ford do make small interior & exterior changes along the way. My relative at Ford tells me that the 2012 Fiesta will have different headlights (like the ones I've seen on other new cars) and I guess a few other changes too BTW, the hole under the stereo on my 2011 fiesta is smaller than the 2010 version so I can't fit my Sat Nav in there now but it does have a nice illuminated light which I didn't have on last Fiesta.

orcomma Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 it actually states in the fiesta eBrochure on page 19 that from "late 2010 onwards" the Titanium standard alloys are different! I wondered why they changed before I heard of the buckled wheels issue on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011fiesta Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I came across this YouTube vid on the Ford Of Europe channel about pothole testing - mentions how pothole testing is for new cars/wheels and for improving current ones: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
