Crafty14 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hi all, I currently have a MK6 Fiesta, great little car. However I want to upgrade to a newer MK7 or MK8 (the face lift one) Fiesta as I fancy an upgrade and I want some extra features, such as air-con and the heated windscreen (which here in ireland will be a god-send). The issue I have is that over here in Ireland the MK8 is only available in the 60/65PS variant and doesn't include the awesome 100PS Ecoboost. My current car is 75PS so "upgrading" to a slower car worry's me. Does anyone have any experience with the 60/65 PS engines? I'm not a fast driver by any means, but I wouldn't want a car that's more sluggish than my current. An alternative I have is to go with a MK7 as that model has a 82PS, however I won't get be getting all the new stuff improved with the latest model, like the cooler looking interior and color screen etc. My budget would be around £8k. Would you recommend I go with a 82PS MK7 or a ~60PS facelift MK7? Much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerFlame Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 There's no such thing as a "mk8" or a mk7.. or 6.. or 5 4 3 2 1 Its just what we've named them ourselves.. the facelift models have been named .5 So 6.5 7.5 :) This may help you to prevent confusion whilst here on the forum :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
