ramie2400 till my knowledge i was just doing good speeds with the car so didn't got a chance to checkout the low-end speeds at high gear shifts,I dont think it might have any issues regarding this,as i floored the car a couple of times i could only feel a slight push of the car zipping.

One good improvement by Ford is the introduction of an MP3 compatible player. But I still feel they should have retained the 2-din 6-cd changer and made that MP3 compatible.

BTW, has anybody compared the output of the new cd player with the old Fiesta 1.6 sxi's? Is there any variation in sound quality? How is the sound when you connect an aux-in? Maruti SX4 owners have reported that an Ipod connected to the stock ICE in the SX4 sounds better than a cd played in the same player. Is the scenario the same in the Fiesta?
I dont have an Ipod,to test the port and compactability I connected my 2yrs old Creative Muvo 256mb mp3 player to the Aux.port,to tell you frankly the mp3 cd/fm sounded better with clarity.Or is it my creative might not sound as good as the Ipod,thats also a possiblity.

I am writing down the points and i will try to check all in my next test-drive.

cheers
