Evening gays, I mean guys 😘

I’m still looking at these Fiestas. Not interested in the hot versions and definitely not interested in the Ecowank versions either. Just a lovely 10-15 plate zetec or duratec 1.4 or 1.6.

It will be automatic unless I grow another arm over next year or so 🤔 so my question is... did ford only put the “power shift” double clutch auto transmission in these or can I get one with standard auto box and torque converter set up? I’ve heard some bad things about these power shift boxes so would prefer standard auto if possible 👍

AFAIK, you can only get the 1.4 with a 4 speed automatic, not the 1.6. Also I think you have to look early in the production run for that shape as I think they moved everything over to Powershift at some point.

Earlier 4 speed autos were called 'Durashift' or similar. And had a more traditional looking auto J-gate shifter.

Thanks jimmy. So pretty much the age of car I’m looking at it’s all power shift

The 1.4 had a standard 4 speed auto option, no idea how available these are.

The 6 speed is the dual clutch Powershift.

I personally hate the Fiesta, never enjoyed them, I would be looking towards an i10 or similar for a small hack

Do we know anything about the reliability of the power shift box?

Been a few versions, some wet and some dry clutch setups, all seem to be less capable and reliable than a traditional auto

Thanks for the info 👍👍👍

I think the Zaf-C is one of the few out there with old-school traditional slush box autos.

All the better for it, liking the Daddy bus a commuter.

Sorry yes and other Vauxhalls, Mokka, Insignia etc. Now PSA owns Vauxhall, they may start putting their own crap in.

Vauxhall used to have the Easytronic automated manual but it had its own problems.
