QUOTE(lurkingaround @ Nov 16 2020 @ 02:10 PM) To save on manufacturing costs = maximize profits, downsizing the Ford Fiesta hatchback engine from 1.4L 4-cylinder to 1.0L Turbo 3-cylinder introduced a host of unnecessary engine noise and vibration problems that needed to be dampened, various under-powered conditions and higher fuel consumption IRL, which did not actually benefit the consumers one bit. QUOTE(Boy96 @ Nov 16 2020, 07:39 PM) Lol manader. Ayam using one now mileage 110k km, still on stock mounting and everything Meanwhile the other 4 cyl car at home (poton suprima and pijot 308) mileage baru 105k km already almost needing its 4th engine mounting change Ayam pesta ekobus fuel consumption around 8-10l/100km, meanwhile the pijot and ploton same driving style and condition around 12-14l/100km . https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/ford/f...ong-term-review - Ford Fiesta ST-Line long-term review - 23 Nov 2018 With so much to love, the Fiesta had us smitten in the first few hundred miles. That was until we gauged how much fuel it was using. The 1.0-litre Ecoboost unit, even in punchiest 138bhp form, is claimed to enable 57.6mpg combined and 47.1mpg in town. But the urban figure was closer to 30mpg(= 7.8l/100km) to begin with, meaning this little triple had a drinking habit comparable with a luxury saloon’s. Economy thankfully improved, with the daily commute more consistently returning 40mpg, but it plateaued there and average motorway economy never rose beyond the mid-40s. https://topgear.com.my/quick-take-ford-fiesta-ecoboostSo how does the EcoBoost fair with the Ford Fiesta? Well, it's both good and bad, and we'll start with the good first. ...
Where you will find discomforting is when you are not driving the Fiesta at full spirit. At slow speeds, the Fiesta struggles to keep pace due to the limitations of the DCT gearbox, and the lagginess of the fly-by-wire throttle. Now with a 3-cylinder turbocharged engine in play, there's additional lag to annoy you when trying to keep it rolling on slow, followed by a sudden turbo boost to upset and confuse you. Basically, the Fiesta doesn't do well at slow speeds. ....
But this is a small price to pay when you get a return of 5.3L/100km for the kind of fun you get to enjoy. Realistically, the best we got out of the fuel consumption is approximately 7.5-8.0L/100km, but that's still acceptable for a punchy little hot hatch. . |

QUOTE(keyser soze @ Nov 16 2020, 12:25 AM) counterweighted crankshafts, dual mass flywheel with centrifugal pendulum absorber damper, single balancing shaft, low noise timing belt, high stiffness oil pan, asymmetric oil pump impeller, engine compartment and vibration dampener. Add so many things because want to save 1 cylinder. Not much weight saving. That parts mostly harga Volvo kan ?   |

QUOTE(icehart85 @ Nov 16 2020, 02:39 PM) Well you look at the x50 now, only offer 5 years unlimited mileage. What does that tell you? If its 10 years unlimited mileage warranty on engine and transmission then I will consider. I am also speaking from experience, was driving Kelisa when I was student so I know what a 3cyl engine feels like. You can say all you want, 3 cyl will definitely vibrate more than 4 cyl because of harmonic imbalance, what car manufacturers can do is implement dampening and counterbalance shaft to negate the vibration. How long this will last time will tell, I certainly wouldnt be touching this from a mile away for the sake of better fuel economy especially from an unproven car manufacturer. Well, if you read any X50 reviews, i don't think vibration is a problem. And yes, i have test drive Viva before. First time in my life, wondering why the car vibrate like kapchai. Later read up only realized is caused by 3 cyclinders engine. But in the long run, i still have doubt with 3 cyclinders engine. I will take 4 cyclinders N.A. anyday over 3 cyclinders tebu. |

Yes, of course company employee will promote their own products so can't trust 100%, but the alternative, university of lowyat grads, can trust 10%?
