New Fiesta Brochure ........... 6 Speed Manual ?

[Westy]

Hi guys

Im due a new company car, and having been generally very happy with my current Fiesta Titanium TDCi am thinking of getting another one - only this time it will be from the 'New Fiesta' range.

I have been looking at various sources but tonight came across the Ford UK Brochure and on the 4th page there is a photo of the interior of the Titanium X.

Im sure, although I might be mistaken, that the gear shift stick has a 6 speed knob on it.

It doesnt come with a six speed manual does it ? Or does it in different countries ?

Cheers

Westy

The 2013 Fiesta ST will be getting a 6 speed manual. No other Fiesta is getting this box in the near future. Only other option is the 6 speed auto on the standard Fiesta.

Do you know what type of auto the new six speed is ? The current four speed one as I have is a 'conventional' auto i.e epicyclc type.

Hi Alan,

It'll be Ford's 'Powershift' 6 speed twin clutch automated manual gearbox.

Thanks, interesting. I Hope it's better than the Vauxhall "Easytronic" automated manual that I had. It was awful, very jerky with lots of "thinking time" before it responded when pulling away at roundabouts etc. Vauxhall said there was nothing wrong with it. This Ford conventional auto in the Fiesta is 100% better. Alan
