Ford Fiesta

admin — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 16:50:08 +0000

The Ford Fiesta has become the flagship model of Ford and is quite polular among hte car lovers, Fiesa is a compact luxury sedan and is manufactured indigenously in India. Designed by the Ford Motor Company in Europe, it is also available in Mexico, China, Brazil, South Africa and Japan. This sedan is more spacious than others in its segment; its interior design makes maximum use of the additional width of the Fiesta's body structure, providing ample seating for five adults.

Its styling might not be as sporty or racy as the Ikon in the looks department, but it has its own intrinsic appeal and would probably find its niche among a more mature segment of car buyers. A car that sensitively and intuitively gets your measure, it handles like dynamite on the road. Reassuring and comfortable, the Fiesta exudes class and style.

This Ford has more than just speed and power; beyond its impressive exterior is a wealth of technology and innovation. Designed specifically to meet the demands of the challenging Indian tarmac, the Fiesta's hugely responsive engineering and wizardry reins in the car at curves, and softens it up by adapting to the road and driving conditions.

The Fiesta is available in seven trims; the Fiesta Duratec 1.4 TDCi EXI, 1.6 Duratec EXI, 1.6 Duratec ZXI, 1.4 TDCi ZXI, 1.6 Duratec SXI, 1.4 TDCi SXI and 1.6 S.

The Fiesta Duratec 1.4 EXI is equipped with a 1.4L In-line 4, 81bhp engine that dishes out 127 nm of torque. The Fiesta Duratec 1.6 SXI, Fiesta Duratec 1.6 ZXI and 1.6 S sport a 1.6L In-line 4,100 bhp engine that gives up 146 nm of torque and the Fiesta 1.4 TDCi ZXI is geared up with 1.4L, 67 bhp engine that forks out 160 nm of torque. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard across all trims.

This Ford's drive quality is smooth and flawless. No surprises here. The V8 serves up an awe-inspiring gush of power as one antes up on speed, and runs through the seamless shifts effortlessly. Powerful, no-drama-anti-lock brakes work with predictable precision. Acceleration is satisfactory. Ride quality is comfortable. Steering is crisp and efficient. The Fiesta soaks up bumps efficiently and is a breeze to drive, thanks to its especially tuned suspension features.

The fascia has a strong substantial look. Hood and fenders flow gently, giving it a refined look, while creating a better sight line of the edge of the car for easier parking. Front fenders are designed to merge into twin headlamps with integrated turn-signal lamps. The rear fascia is fitted with fog lamps in the lower bumper, which gives it a sporty appeal. It rides on 14-inch alloy wheels with a 7-spoke design and special locking nuts.

The Fiesta has a crisp, aerodynamically defined body with a nice, linear silhouette. It has a host of exterior features that add to it visual aesthetics, some of which include twin jewel effect headlamps, integrated turn signal lamps in headlamps, chrome bezel on fog lamps, a radiator grille surround, outside rear view mirrors, body side moulding, a bumper rub-strip, a license plate garnish/deck lid handle and a B-pillar black-out.

Finally the Ford Fiesta Hits US Shores

admin — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 03:09:33 +0000

Last time the Fiesta was in the US was between 1978 and 1980, before it was replaced by the Escort. Not that long really for a car that has sold successfully in Europe for over thirty years. But things are about to change as Ford rolls out the Fiesta Movement and on the face of it, the response seems to be fairly positive. So does the Fiesta have the potential to become a truly global car?

The “Fiesta Movement” as Ford has branded the project, involves 100 drivers, selected from over 3,300 young drivers’, who will get a European built Fiesta to drive, for free, for six months. In return for the car the “agents” as Ford calls them, will be assigned monthly drives that take them to new places to meet new people and make video diaries of their experiences that will be posted on YouTube and other social media sites. This will hopefully create a buzz in the market demographic that Ford are targeting, so called “millennials” born between 1979 & 1985. A demographic that Ford says "Making up 28% of the driving age population, the potential size of the market serves as an opportunity for Ford to connect with a group that hasn't yet established brand loyalty and is very connected to the use of technology and social networking".

Alongside the 100 Fiesta’s earmarked for the Movement, Ford has also brought in a further 40 vehicles for use in marketing and to let journalists test drive. Feedback has so far been positive with many journalists seeming quite surprised at the build quality and the overall performance of the test cars. But why the surprise? The Fiesta is the second best selling car in Europe, it has made its mark where it counts, sales. Since the launch of the seventh generation Fiesta in August 2008, Ford has sold 118,000 units in Europe. Admittedly the North American Fiesta will be assembled in Mexico but it should still be similar to the test cars, cars with a proven track record.

The Fiesta’s being used for the US trial are all five door hatchbacks and at this moment in time it is unlikely that the three door variant will make its way over the pond, there is however a four door saloon being prepared for the 2010 launch. As of yet the exact specification of the US model has not yet been decided by Ford and it could well be influenced by the feedback that comes from their agents. Small changes will also have to be made to comply with American regulations. Engine types and sizes have also yet to be determined, but it would be nice if the clean diesel technology that is so popular in Europe could find its way into at least a couple of models.

So, with the Fiesta also enjoying success in China and Asia, a successful launch and sales pitch in America could make the Fiesta one of the first truly global cars. If this happened Ford could once again become the global player it once was.

Ford Intends to Buy $3 Billion China-made Components to Cut Costs

admin — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 19:46:54 +0000

Ford Motor Co. announced earlier that it will be purchasing as much as $3 billion worth of China-made components to boost its aim to cut production costs. The purchase transaction is anticipated to take place this year.

"Ford will buy between $2.5 billion and $3 billion in auto parts in China," said William Ford Jr., chairman of the Dearborn, Michigan-based carmaker. Bill Ford explained, "We are only scratching the surface in China. China is very key to our global sourcing strategy particularly as the quality of the local suppliers' ramps up."

Analysts in the auto industry explained that the reason behind the purchase is the automaker's need for cheaper auto parts to satisfy its goal to cut costs up to $6 billion by 2010. It can be recalled that Ford experienced a slumped sales in the United States. Said plight resulted to third quarter loss amounting to $5.8 billion.

Among the 3 largest American automakers, Ford was the last to produce vehicles in China. Production took place in Chongqing city in the year 2003. Ford Fiesta parts and those of Mondeo where assembled in the territory. In that specific endeavor, the automaker invested $1.5 billion.

In 2004, Ford agreed to put up a third factory in Nanjing city, China to assemble its 8 new models. The building of the plant is done in cooperation with Mazda Motor Corp, its affiliate. That particular investment proved to be beneficial because Ford China sales more than doubled in the first three quarters of 2006. The automaker sold 114,685 vehicles via direct sales. It was approximately 2.2 percent of the 5.28 million vehicles sold in the particular period in China.

Ford shares the biggest slice of China sales with American auto giants - General Motors Corp. and DaimlerChrysler AG's Chrysler Group. General motors divulged that its 3 quarters China sales increased by 37 percent to 645,680 units. DaimlerChrysler AG, on one hand, reported perfected sale of 16,400 Mercedes-Benz luxury cars in China and Hong Kong within same period.

Experts are saying that the recovery plan of Ford has substantially contributed to the surged in sales. Nonetheless, some of the analysts noted that the automaker is moving too slow while its rivals are taking swift yet precise steps.

Taking Care of Your Petrol or Diesel Turbo Car

admin — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 22:24:55 +0000

Installing a turbo kit in your car will indeed add to its value but what good does it get if after a week of installing the kit, it breaks down? Turbochargers are there for the main reason that you want a faster and more efficient car. These turbo kits are costly and you do not want them to be breaking down on you, not because of factory defect, but because of personal neglect by the car’s owner, also known as you.

There are ways and tips to follow in order to keep your turbo car in tip top shape. A healthy turbo has enough oil for lubrication and cooling. When thinking of a turbo car, oil is probably the most important factor that can affect the way your turbo operates. Regarding oil issues, you have to take note to use only synthetic oil for your engine. The reason for this is because these oils are undeniably better at withstanding thermal breakdown. Of course this is important as you already know that turbo engines have the tendency to operate at very high heat. Oil change for turbo cars must be done every 2500-3000 miles as oil breaks down and get dirty fast. Another important thing to do is to check the oil level often since the engine is exposed to a lot of strenuous conditions, pressure and excess heat. Also, you have to remember to let the oil cool down before turning off your car. You can do this by letting the car stay idle for a period of time. This is done to avoid damage to the turbo bearings and oil lines. Still in connection to the importance of oil, make sure that the turbo bearings are well lubricated before starting the engine especially after an oil change.

The tips mentioned above are the most common advice that are to be followed when maintaining a turbo car, but there are a lot of supplementary advice that can also be used to maximize the performance and lengthen the life of your turbo car. First, is to make sure that the wastegate signaling hose is not hardened or cracked. Another tip is to make sure that the throttle position sensor (TPS) is working properly. Cleaning the throttle body is also a way of maintaining your turbo car. It is advisable to clean the throttle body every 30,000 miles. To help maintain your turbo car, make sure that the tires do not go bald because it will have a deteriorating effect on the suspension. Especially that you have a high powered turbo car, you do not want to go through potholes and fall hard because of poor tires and suspensions. Changing the air filter every 10,000 miles will contribute to your car’s maximum performance. The timing belt also has to be replaced every 40,000 miles for optimum turbo performance. More importantly is to make sure that your turbo system and your car stays cool and one way to do this is putting a switch in line with the air conditioning fan for you to use in bad traffic or in long drives.

There are a lot to consider when maintaining a turbo car, which is just right since a turbo car needs special attention as it is not like any ordinary car. A turbo car is engineered to excellence that is why maintenance is very important to preserve its performance.

Turbo Cars Faster Than the Non-turbo Cars

admin — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 19:05:33 +0000

When it comes to increase the speed of the car, turbochargers are the best solution to give you an adrenaline rush. Turbocharger increases the speed of the vehicle by compressing the air that enters the engine. Nevertheless, in doing so, much amount of air is permitted to enter the engine and thereby enabling more fuel consumption for enhanced energy. Through this procedure, the cylinders of the cars will yield extra power resulting faster acceleration. However, this high pressure results in the heating of engine. Due to this, the turbocharger may need more cooling occasionally since they are prone to high heat.

The turbo cars have the benefit of producing more power over the non-turbo cars. The turbo cars are small and can be fit within a four cylinder as well. Most importantly, the turbo cars offer amazing power that can be achieved only by large engines.

The turbo car comes with several disadvantages, if it is not fitted correctly and the oversized turbocharger employed, it may have no effect or very little effect on boosting. In place of providing powerful engine boost, the car with turbocharger might respond very poorly or slowly to acceleration. The turbocharger also incorporates a turbo lag that is inconvenient while racing, so it is essential to attain maximum performance timing with turbo car. One major drawback of the turbo cars is its cost involved for the installation of a turbo kit. In addition, turbo kit is complex in installing and you might require learning little bit for engineering for installing it correctly at one go.

The turbo cars are faster as compared to the non-turbo cars, but the choice of installing a turbo kit in the car one should seriously think over before installing the greddy turbo kit in the car because installing one is not a simple task. Get well acquainted with the installation of the turbo kit so that it is worth every penny of your money. If you are sure that you will be able to maintain the turbo car, then get a turbo kit and get it installed in your car. However always remember that driving the car at fast speed does not mean that you can compromise safety, if you have a turbo car, drive safely and follow all the road safety norms.

Maintenance Tips for Driving a Turbo Car

admin — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 16:25:08 +0000

g Oil, healthy turbo engines should be well cooled and lubricated. Use synthetic oil only for your turbo engine because these oils can tackle extreme temperatures. Change oil every 2,500 to 3,000 miles because oil breaks down and gets dirty in time. Always check the oil level and remember to let the oil cool down first before you turn off the engine of your car. Just leave the car idle for a few minutes. It will help you prevent any damage on your engine bearings and oil lines. Check that all turbo bearings are well lubricated before using the car, especially after you have undergone oil change. Check for oil leaks. Contaminants in the engine oil like dirt or carbon, if not collected by the oil filter, can enter the turbo charger. Supplementary tips for turbo maintenance. Check the wastegate signal hose for any cracks or signs of hardening. Make sure that the throttle position sensor or TPS is working well. Clean the throttle body every 30,000 miles. Do not allow your tires to go bald since it will affect suspension. In a fully powered turbo car, you wouldn?t want to fall onto potholes real hard. Air filter must be replaced every 10,000 miles. Replace the timing belt every 40,000 miles. During long drives and heavy traffic situations, it would be helpful if you have a switch in line with the air-conditioning fan for the turbo system to cool down. Foreign objects into the engine can damage the turbine. Frequent basic checkups of the turbo engine are important to prevent any possible damages. Immediately address any problems so they won?t get bigger and nastier. If the turbocharger needs to be replaced, replace it with a turbo of a different type. Make sure you that you are getting the correct type of turbocharger for your engine so avoid faulty turbo performance, high fuel and oil consumptions, and engine damage. When you have modified your engine, you need to modify your turbocharger as well. Plan your trips well and know when your next stop is to adjust your throttle. In the last few miles of driving, avoid using full throttle and let the engine start to relax to prevent excessive heat build-up in the turbo when you need to turn the engine off. Go to a professional who is an expert in turbochargers for any concerns on your turbo car. Following the tips above for turbo maintenance can help you get the most out of your turbo petrol car and you can take advantage of: - More horsepower which you require - More torque - Better throttle response - Smoother operation - Safer overtaking The turbo kit you installed has already cost you some amount. If it breaks down on you due to factory defect, you can always claim for warranty immediately. If the turbo car breaks down to due to neglect on turbo maintenance then you will have more costly things to come your way.
