Bro tazztham,
How long have you own the Fiesta ? Yours is hatch or sedan ? Cheers.

Mine is a hatch 1.6. After owning a while, I don't really like it. The gearchange at low speed or if you're caught in the jam is jerky. Furthermore, the response is to gearchange when you floor it is slow... about 1 second.

I find the ride a bit harsh too. But then again, it could be me.

Go for a test drive to see if you like it.

Something called SprintBooster (look for the thread in this forum) here) may work for you.
OK so what you going to do since you now don't like the car already?

Fiesta's size means easier parking, for sure better FC.
I am sure you would also choose the Fiesta over the Q5 if its for a short trip in the city.

I read with much laughter! You may ask why..!

To me...there is no need to compare a German background car such as FF with the Japanese make. The Japs are fond of localizing parts...using lots cost cutting parts.

In so far as FF six gear transmission, it will yield better mileague than its competitors. Do you still want a car with 4 gear A/T?

No need to mentioned about its Traction Control (TC) which not available in other marques of the same categories. For FF safety feature remains outstanding.
