ford fiesta 1.0 ecoboost powershift

[robhest]

I am in the market for a new vehicle. I have my eye on the ford fiesta 1.0 ecoboost powershift (auto). I test drove one and really loved it.

I then googled to see what other owners have to say about it and to my surprise I found many unhappy owners complaining about the countless issue hey have been having with the powershift auto gearbox. Is there a big problem with this gearbox and ford are not acknowledging it?

I cant seem to find a south african ford forum so any info people can provide would be much appreciated.

I can't speak for the auto box, as I have the manual titanium spec. I have no issues with mine though if you have any other concerns.

Just gone over 13000kms and my consumption is down to 5.2L/100 km

Thanks for the reply, the manual seems to be pretty solid worldwide.

My only wish is for a 6th gear but that's just me.
