News: Ford Fiesta Facelifted & Gets a 1.0l Ecoboost Engine

No, it's not Aston Martin's new iQ
Fancy a car for your kids where you don't need to worry about them driving? The new Ford Fiesta is the car you need. Apart from its new Aston Martin-esque grille, better looking rims and LED lights, this mini Focus has a feature called MyKey. MyKey is basically a nanny where owners can set the car's top speed, volume limit of the audio system and keep all its safety system - including driver aids - active. I sense a grin coming from you parents reading this.

SYNC which is in all new Ford models is implemented in the Fiesta too. It connects to your devices via Bluetooth and enables voice activation calls, reads your phone's texts and predicts alien invasion. Okay, I kid about the last one. Still, may be possible.

Interior very pretty. Love the black accents.

The updated Fiesta also gets the much hyped 1.0l Ecoboost engine which won the 2012 engine of the year award and Active Stop System which is basically a tech off from Volvo. Like in the Volvos, the Active Stop System prevents collision at low speeds. If you own the new S60, try it. It's fun. Make sure the thing's active though. You should be really happy with the new Fiesta but I'll let you in to a little something, *whisper* The Fiesta ST armed with a turbocharged 1.6l engine pushing 177 bhp will be out soon.

Blue needles, funky
