I really like the new Fiesta, and with hindsight, wish I had not bought the B Max and waited for it to arrive.
Not that I don't like the B Max, the high driving position, extra luggage space and the sliding rear doors are great. But that comes at a cost of increased wind noise, susceptability to cross winds and rather irritating body roll. I also find the steering a little heaveir and less precise than the Fiesta.
As things stand, the new Fiesta is looking like it might be my next nrw car in a few years time. However, my B Max is in Titanium X spec, and to replace that spec might be too pricey when the time comes.
One of the big plusses for me has been the ecoboost 123 bhp engine. It really is a great little powerplant and is econo.ical provided that you don'tmax out the performance too much. 7000 miles now and still averaging over 45 mpg. But Open it up too much or drive much over 70 (onthe clock), then it does start to drink a bit of juice. Economical round town though.
