Bolt39 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) Hi, I've just purchased a new Fiesta 999 ecoboost and I'm finding the gear changing a little strange in terms of when to change gear!! Is it strange that I'm still in 3rd at 30mph and 4th at around 35/40mph?! I love the car and appreciate that we've been and still are driving an ST Focus!! Im not a mechanically minded person and all the gear talk baffles me in terms of ratios etc etc!!!! Any help would be appreciated to this head scratching old man lol!!!!! Thanks Edited October 14, 2016 by Bolt39 Predictive text! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobr Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 The gearing is very high in this model. You will get used to it though. I soon stopped trying to get into 5th in town and actually found that mpg was better in 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
