Thank you very much

They are great vehicles, we enjoyed driving both as you can see from the videos. What a good idea, keep us posted and thank you.

Nice motors, enjoy

It’s an interesting one the Active range, an suits the UK market well, it’ll be interesting to see overtime if MG increase their prices as their vehicles evolve, thank you Sean

In a word yes, with that ride height too it looks tall, it’s very impressive with the anodised finishes and soft touch materials.

i guess it is kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good site to stream newly released series online ?

Our KZfaq streams the latest car content, enjoy

Thank you, we’ll double check for you.

Hello Me Wardrobe - the key free system is optional

Thank you for heads up Piano Man

That’s great to hear, thank you.*ben

Good question, I’d say it was noticeably higher than the Fiesta, at 18mm more however the EcoSport was higher *ben

This 1L Turbo had a 6 speed Powershift, yes the pronunciation leaves a lot to be desired 😆 thank you bad

@@PlanetautoUK No, it doesn't. It has a 6 speed torque converter auto. The Powershift is a dual clutch automated manual, which Ford stopped using (due to terrible reliability) in the Fiesta upon the introduction of the MK7 in 2017, the Focus upon the introduction of the MK4 in 2018, and the Ecosport as from the 2018 facelift.

The car we had does, it says clearly on our press car details, and spec sheet and is listed as the box on numerous online reviews including Honest John.

@@PlanetautoUK I have read the Honest John roadtest of the Active and there is no mention of a Powershift gearbox, in the 'engine/transmission' page of the test, the only auto option is listed as a 6 speed torque converter auto. Furthermore, and this is a direct quote from the 1st page of HJ's review of the MK7 Fiesta, "Significantly, after all the trouble with Getrag Poweshift dry clutch packs, Ford has reverted to a 6 speed torque converter auto for the 2018 Fiesta". I was in a Suzuki dealership today looking at the Swift and the salesman (who certainly should known), had no idea what kind of gearbox the Swift auto has. So surely it is more likely that the press pack you recieved with the car was incorrect?. But hey, i'm not going to argue about it. But just to let anyone who may have been put off the car due to the mention of "Poweshift" (as well they should), don't worry about it, the car doesn't have one!. As to whether or not Ford has cured the 1.0 Ecoboost engine's own reliability issues, well that remains to be seen...........

www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/ford/fiesta-active-2018/data/ it’s clearly written on one of the specs ,the press sheet also lists P/Shift

Thank you - All we can comment on is how it performed for us, and it drove very well, and returned decent mileage - it didn’t skip a beat. Keep an eye on Ford press for data updates.

It’s a shame C - thank you

This presenter has now moved, check out our latest reviews, they’ve changed a bit

If the subs in the wheel well, expect not, thank you Khelgar

@@PlanetautoUK yeah i've heard they moved the sub in the facelift due to that, but can't confirm it myself.

That makes more sense, il take a look this weekend if I find one.

We don’t see the price as a problem, bear in mind this is high spec. Realistically you can get a w12 Bentley Continental GT, second hand granted for around 20k. People don’t always want a family size car, maybe it’s a second or car for the family to use. Small cars sell well they are versatile, cheap to insure and economical. Horses for courses as it were, thank you.

@@PlanetautoUK I can't help feeling, if it's a small car I want, a Seat Ibiza would do just fine and cost about 8k less. Manufacturers are crafty and will exploit the fashion for jacked up, plastic clad confections with high-margin products like Fiesta Active. But if you really need off road ability, real 4x4s are made by Suzuki and Fiat and still cost less than the Fiesta.

I can see you like VWG, formally VAG, yes there are lots of options, the MG ZS is great for the money, yet not as refined as the Fiesta, the Karoq is superb as is the Kodiaq, a lot of it is brand loyalty and staying close to what the owner expects, realistically a 4 cab pickup is even an option, very good off-road and comfortable for 4 people. Great discussing this, thank you

@@PlanetautoUK yes I mentioned Seat and Skoda because they tend to be keenly priced. Corners may have been cut though: search "Arona moose test" on KZfaq to see what I mean! Btw I enjoyed your review of the Ka+ Active as well

Il have a look, and thank you, glad your enjoying our content.

Oh of course, in future maybe we’ll say B&O, it’s sounds mint though, regardless of perception of pronunciation. *ben
