My FC based on first two tanks (currently on my third tank) below. Engine only passed the 1,000km mark by the end of the second tank. This spreadsheet I am using to constantly monitor my FC and also to help me modify my driving style depending on fuel efficiency on the previous tank.

First two tanks were filled till where the fuel nozzle auto-releases the second time and drove till nearly empty (i.e. fuel light already lit and the needle is almost touching the zero bar). The manual states 42 litre capacity but my refueling is only up till roughly 35 litre, so I think that there must be some spare fuel inside of 7 litre. For BHP, I refuel only RM60 because the credit card machine wasn't working. So just fork out RM60 to the cashier.

On average, my FC is 14.598 km per litre. Drive to work using NKVE and back home using Federal Highway. But on weekends, a lot of trips to Subang Jaya and Puchong/Bandar Kinrara area. I'd roughly estimate around 50% city and 50% highway for those two tanks combined.

For fiesta owner,

Do you find the gear change a bit off?
in traffic, it really annoying.
of it just my fiesta?

just drove 365KM+ back from Penang to KL,

Overall enjoyed the drive and keeping the revs high and low at various speed with an average speed of 120. System tells me the fuel tank still have enough fuel to go another 120km. Just realise that the light throw of fiesta's head lamps are damn far ! Overtaking was a breeze, even hitting 150kmph with ease and still stable ( at least nothing shaking here and there like my '01 waja 1.6 or noisy like my gf's waja 1.8 ). tried out the grade assist on the transmission while driving thru changkat jering hill area and proud to say that it is a pleasant one !

Should we start a fiesta owner club or something soon ?

ya this one quite annoying.. especially during very slow traffic.. gear change like crazy and jerks all the time...

already have one.. but not on LYN.. they on fb fanpage. lemah. haha.

thats common on all conti cars, its a safety feature so that your doors can be opened in a bad accident

check your manual there should be a way to deadlock it.....in VW's its press and hold the lock button on the remote

u all make me gatal about fiesta... Damn... I love the car very much in terms of driving experience, but my concern is only the space and the comfort of the rear seat.

Why not consider the VW POLO!!!

back seat quite ample space even for a huge size person to sit in with ease.
not all can afford RM108k lae... and it's only 2cm longer in length and the specs are not really that interesting compared to a fiesta...

The back seat can sit only two normal to big size person only. The cushion is very stiff. I know, cause I was in the backseat of the car for the 2nd part of 20km test drive.

1. the rear cushion/headrest is stiff? YES...
2. a bit underpower in stop n go situation? YES...
3. gear shifting feel not so smooth? MAYBE..

but...i just booked black fiesta 1.6 sport...

Test drove a fiesta today, despite how it was rated so far, i just don't feel a bit of like in this car on the acceleration and gear shift. Feels like the acceleration will fall on a 'empty zone' when when pedal floored and a sudden pick up after a rough gear shift.

If this is call 'characteristic', then it's a tough car to drive.

1. the rear cushion/headrest is stiff? YES...
2. a bit underpower in stop n go situation? YES...
3. gear shifting feel not so smooth? MAYBE..
