MrKnoe Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I launch off fast on 2k revs. 4k Launch will spin the wheels like mad am you will have a poor launch I'm sure it's a safety feature so when your not Moving it doesn't rev up the 3 cylinder without popping it without motion.

Willy Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I'm sure it's to prevent putting strain on all the running gear. It's a feature on most new fords to prevent clutch damage at high revs. I remember my Mk 2.5 ST did it in first and Second. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam01 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hi everyone, Just joined the forums after ordering mine just before Christmas and should be getting it in March. Ordered it in deep impact blue, but I am still unsure if I should add the 17" alloys to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ffoxy Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I have the 17's on mine and my daughter hasn't. IMO the wheels make the car, have them, and ask for a sore wheel kit too instead of the can of puncture goo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ffoxy Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 *spare not sore lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Watt Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Hi Yes, go for the 17" Have a look at http://www.flickr.com/photos/gary_watt/9806977346/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/gary_watt/9806919683/in/photostream/ regards Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeroyE Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I also have 17 inch. Just not from ford. Don't have any problems with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyT93 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 i would highly recommend the 17s that ford have compared to the 16s, for me the 16s look plastic and the 17s stand out alot more, but it is personal preference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAPUMA Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 The car is better than i thought it would be, loving it. How many miles can you get out of one tank on mostly motorway driving. Got to go to cambridge tomorrow, wondering if it will get there and back on one tank, its about 340 miles. 1.0 ecoboost. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 320 - 360 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ffoxy Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I'd agree with Willy, I work on approx 337 miles to a tank in my personal experience but it really does depend on your driving style, traffic and weather conditions TBH. Don't worry about it, enjoy the drive ! I do t even out my radio on now cos I prefer the sound if the engine!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyT93 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 with motorway driving all the way on a full tank i could get about 380 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich T Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Driving sensibly (65-70mph) & mainly motorway I get consistently around 430 miles, so you should be fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAPUMA Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Thanks all. Yeah its no problem, I can easily stop and fill up. Just nice to know, I will be enjoying myself so much i wont notice its run out till i come to a standstill on the M3. :) I know what you mean about turning the radio off, the engine sounds amazing.

666Damian666 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I saw a Nautical Blue yesterday in Zetec S guise which looked really smart but I think Ford have discontinued it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam01 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks for the information about the alloys everyone, changed them yesterday to 17". The dealer said the build date for my car is around the 27th January so I should get it at the beginning of March, can't wait to get it now :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bholm Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I know this is in the Zetes S thead, but I finally placed an order for a the Fiesta Titanium 1.0 Ecoboost 125 ps version. I live in Denmark, so the prices are way higher than yours, but I still got a great deal. It will come with the Ford Sync/Bluetooth package, heated windscreen, parking sensors, mirrors that fold automatically and an upgrade to 16" alloys (standard are ugly 15"). Ordered it in deep impact blue. I can't wait to get it. It will be a while, though! I'm looking forward to seeing yours as well, Liam. The deep impact blue color is stunning :) Might consider the 17" alloys too.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
