TitaniumWhite Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I got to admit that's what I miss about my last car armrest and cruise control. I use the container under the armrest to put sweets in. :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mills705 Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 Mine takes off pretty sharply and almost runs away with me, then asks for 2nd gear quite quickly (the arrow comes on the display asking to change gear for efficiency). What amazes me about this engine is the low rpm at 80 or 90mph on the motorway. I have cruise control which I thought would be scary to use but is actually brilliant. Do all Fiestas have the change gear indicators? Picking up my armrest today and getting my wheels fitted today so will upload pics after Nice, armrest does sound like a good mod imo, im just worried it will interfere with the gear lever?

ianincheshire Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Do all Fiestas have the change gear indicators? I think most cars have them now. I just find them advising changing up a gear too early. Even in my diesel Mondeo it isn't happy changing up when the indicator says. On the wife's eccoboost Fiesta it's way too early...

mikeyd1 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Don't worry about gear change indicators they are there just as a guide and are not that good at real world driving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Aftermarket armrest such as armster don't interfere with the gear lever either - but OEM from higher spec look much better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyd1 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Yep use to them now. Proper hot day I paid for that doing the armrest sweat dripping off me. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mills705 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Haha think I'll drop the bullet and get an Armster one. I do a few odd trips on motorway and it will be nice for then! Good nice one. I've just put my punto up for sale so spent all day doing a valet etc on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mills705 Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Just been reading through the manual in pdf form. Where is the gear change indicator on the car? I can't see it in the manual? Could be a later addition of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mills705 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Picked the car up earlier- it's a dream to drive. So nice and responsive to drive. Got to go in for a few stone chips thay are on the side that I wasn't too happy about but apart from that I'm really happy. Sync is a fantastic tool for me. My phone works seemlessly. And also the stop start works really well. Done a few little runs tonight and the car is smooth. As for the clutch it's not too heavy for me I quite like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
