Noma ubani onentshisekelo kweminye imininingwane yobuchwepheshe uyazi ukuthi inkundla yeFord Fiesta entsha (isizukulwane sesi-7) isuka esizukulwaneni sangaphambilini. Kungase kube inkundla efanayo neyesizukulwane sesi-6 - ethuthuke kakhulu, ngokwemvelo - kodwa emgwaqeni iFord Fiesta entsha izwakala njengenye imoto. Hlala phansi enye imoto.
Kubukeka njengemodeli yesigaba esiphezulu, ngenxa yokushelela kwayo, ukuvimbela umsindo, "umuzwa" odluliselwa kumshayeli. Pho kungani ushintsha izinkundla? Ngaphezu kwalokho, izikhathi zidinga ukuqukatha izindleko. Kunezindawo ezibaluleke kakhulu zokutshala imali…
ukuziphatha okunamandla
Njengoba ngike ngasho ekuqaleni, ukuziphatha okuguquguqukayo kweFiesta entsha kusezingeni eliphezulu kakhulu esigabeni. Ngaphakathi kwesigaba B, yiSeat Ibiza kuphela edlala umdlalo ofanayo. Ukulungiswa kwekhona okuhle kakhulu futhi isiteringi sinobuhlakani.
Ngiphinde ngasithanda isiteringi esisha, nendawo yokushayela ayifanele “amamaki aphezulu” ngoba isisekelo sesihlalo kufanele, ngokubona kwami, sibe sikhulu. Ukwesekwa, ngakolunye uhlangothi, kulungile.
Ngenhlanhla, ukuziphatha okuhle okuguquguqukayo akumenzi umuntu athande ukunethezeka. Ngaphandle kwamasondo e-ST-Line angu-18 inch (uyazikhethela) ayifake kule yunithi, iFiesta isawuphatha kahle kakhulu ukungasebenzi kahle kwetiyela.
Izimfundiso zikaRichard Parry-Jones zisaqhubeka nokuba yisikole esinonjiniyela bakwaFord - ngisho nangemva kokushiya kwakhe ngo-2007.
Noma nini lapho ufunda (noma uzwa…) izincomo ekuziphatheni okunamandla kwe-Ford, khumbula igama elithi URichard Parry-Jones.
Ubenesibopho esikhulu sokulungiswa kwereferensi okuguquguqukayo kwamamodeli afana ne-Fiesta ne-Focus. Ijoyine i-Ford ekuqaleni kwawo-1990 futhi uhlobo aluzange lufane futhi - i-Escort yayiyihlazo kulowo mbono, ngisho nalapho kukhanya izikhathi. IFord Focus MK1, esivele igubha iminyaka engama-20 kulo nyaka, mhlawumbe iyizimpawu zayo eziyinhloko.
Ngaphakathi
Khumbula lapho ngibhala ukuthi "Kunezindawo ezibaluleke kakhulu zokutshala imali ...". Hhayi-ke, ingxenye yale mali kumele ngabe ifakwe ngaphakathi. Ukwethulwa kwekhabhini kushiya imodeli yangaphambili ngamamayela kude.
Siqala injini yale Ford Fiesta ST-Line futhi siyamangala ukuvaleka komsindo. Kukuma-rev aphezulu kuphela lapho imvelo ye-tricylindrical yenjini izibonakalisa khona.
Le yunithi (ezithombeni) ifakwe cishe ngama-euro angu-5,000 engeziwe, kodwa umbono wokuqina nokunaka imininingwane kujwayelekile kuzo zonke izinguqulo. Konke kucocekile, endaweni efanele.
Ezihlalweni ezingemuva kuphela ongabona ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwepulatifomu endala bekungeyona ukubheja okuwiniwe ngokuphelele. Inesikhala esanele, yebo inakho, kodwa ayikhululekile njengeVolkswagen Polo — “eqhathe” yalandela inkundla yegalofu (esetshenziswa nase-Ibiza). Umthamo wegumbi lemithwalo nawo awufinyeleli ku-300 litres (292 amalitha).
Izinhlelo zokusiza ukushayela ezithuthuke kakhulu zisohlwini lwezinketho.
Injini
KwaFord akumele besaba nendawo yokugcina izindebe eziqoqwe yinjini engu-1.0 Ecoboost. Kule njini, injini eyaziwayo engu-1.0 Ecoboost inamandla angu-125 hp kanye ne-torque engu-170 Nm (etholakala phakathi kuka-1 400 no-4 500 rpm). Izinombolo eziguqulela ku-9.9 imizuzwana zisuka ku-0 iye ku-100 km/h kanye nejubane eliphezulu elingu-195 km/h.
Kodwa lezi zinombolo aziyitsheli yonke indaba. Ngaphezu kwama-accelerations, engifuna ukukugqamisa wukutholakala kwenjini ngesivinini esiphakathi nesiphansi. Ezimpilweni zansuku zonke, iyinjini emnandi ukuyisebenzisa futhi yenza "umshado ojabulisayo" ngokudluliswa kwesandla esinamagiya ayisithupha. Ngokuqondene nokusetshenziswa, akunzima ukuthola isilinganiso samalitha angu-5.6.
Iqhubeka enjinini, ukhumbula ukuthi ayilona uhlobo lwe-sporty (nakuba imiswe imidlalo nokubukeka ngaphandle), iFord Fiesta entsha iyathakazelisa kakhulu ukuyihlola ekushayeleni i-actress. I-chassis iyamema futhi injini ayisho ukuthi cha…
Izisetshenziswa kanye nentengo
Uhlu lwemishini lwanele. Kulolu hlobo lweFord Fiesta ST-Line ngokwemvelo ngigcizelela imishini yezemidlalo. Ngaphandle, ukunaka kuhlukaniswe yi-sport suspension, i-grille, obhampa kanye neziketi zasemaceleni ze-ST-Line ezikhethekile.
Ngaphakathi iFord Fiesta ST-Line igqame ngezihlalo zayo zemidlalo, isibambo segiya, isiteringi esimbozwe ngesikhumba nebhuleki lesandla, nama-sport pedals e-aluminium. Uphahla olumnyama (olujwayelekile) lusiza futhi ukusetha isimo ebhodini.
Isistimu ye-infotainment ye-Ford SYNC 3 engu-6.5 inch enezipikha eziyisithupha kanye nezimbobo ze-USB ezinikezwa njengezijwayelekile yenza kahle kakhulu, kodwa uma ujabulele ngempela ukulalela umculo osemotweni namagajethi anenani, i-Premium Navigation Pack (966 euros) iyadingeka. Bathola i-navigation system, B&O Play sound system, isikrini esingu-8 inch ngisho ne-automatic air conditioning system.
Uma ngokwenduduzo, uhlu lwemishini evamile lwanele. Mayelana nezinhlelo zokuphepha ezithuthuke kakhulu ezisebenzayo, kufanele siye ohlwini lwezinketho. Bheka i-Pack Tech 3 ebiza u-€737 futhi ihlanganisa i-ACC adaptive automatic cruise control, usizo lwangaphambi kokushayisana olunesixwayiso sebanga, i-Blind Spot Detection System (BLIS) kanye ne-Cross Traffic Alert (ATC). Ngokwemvelo amasistimu e-ABS, EBD kanye ne-ESP ajwayelekile.
Iyunithi ongayibona kulezi zithombe ibiza ama-euro angama-23 902. Inani okumele kususwe kulo imikhankaso esebenzayo futhi elingafika ku-€4,000 (kucatshangelwa imikhankaso yoxhaso lwezimali yomkhiqizo kanye nokwesekwa kokutholwa).
