Tom-B64 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Quite like that photoshop, although, I feel like it's missing something. Needs to be more aggressive on the front but not sure where!i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 They haven't changed the grille from the ST-line one, the sides normally extend a bit more to a single point on the STs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryPL Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Not sure if anyone came across this. Sorry if they have. I really am not sold on it. To my eye, the front looks like a 2006 FIAT Grande Punto and the rear really isn't pleasant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David73 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Wider and taller... They tell us it's safer in a crash. Yawn. A significant reason for buying our current Fiesta is that it is low and narrow by current fashions. The knock on effect of raising the bonnet line is that the steering wheel inevitably goes up with it (and the front seat passenger gets an even more restricted view). I dislike having the wheel such that hands are effectively at shoulder height. I set the seat height so my eyeline is mid-screen and in any car I always set the wheel as low and as far forward as it allows. Often it is not low enough and I have got used to not seeing the top of the instruments. Set like this, even the current Fiesta has enough room to put the instruments between wheel and windscreen, Peugeot style. The higher bonnet in the new model would have made such a change easy to implement for a wider range of tastes. So it looks like that is where I will be heading when my Fiesta needs replacing. Plus the 208 has a more powerful engine with the auto box - which is a proper Japanese TC rather than a fragile German DC (why the 100hp limit?). At the moment it doesn't matter if the Fiesta is less desirable because a £1000 price advantage keeps it interesting. I wonder if that will stick with the new model.

alexp999 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 The 2017 (2018 MY) Fiesta is still using the same chassis so shouldn't be significantly different in driving position to the current one. If anything I find the current Fiesta too upright and I'm hoping with them using focus based seat frames on the new one, it'll actually have a lower driving position.

One benefit of an auto is that the seat can go back a couple of inches which gives a more relaxed position, while my wife is not obliged to cuddle the steering wheel. I just tried an experiment with setting the seat as though there was a clutch and tried various permutations of seat and steering wheel height such that the instruments are clear. I can improve things with a higher wheel, sort of, if I bring the wheel towards me so my elbows are lower. It's not as good as the settings I naturally choose and, fundamentally, I want a wheel that puts my hands lower relative to my shoulders. A higher bonnet and a higher wheel that inevitably follows is definitely undesirable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

666Damian666 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 How much realistically do you think you could bag a 17 plate ST-2 for with just the style pack in Black or Spirit Blue ? I think he list price is around £19.5k but Ford give generous discounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
