1.6 vs 1.5 (Mk7.5 vs Mk8) Hey! It's an awesome car and very noticeable upgrade compared to the MK7. Go for it, you won't be disappointed. MK8 is more fun to drive overall. The number one dedicated resource forum. Downsides: It's not as 'raw' and has lost some of preciseness. The stereo controls on the MK8 are also woeful; they feel like a toy. ^ What he said.

I've just explained this to a friend asking me about new motor. And then at motorway speeds it feels way way less urgent and actually just slower than my Mk7 MP215 did. by DGZS » Tue Oct 18, 2011 4:41 pm, Post

It's truly one of the best engines I've ever used. It's just a bit more grown up and refined. Every Fiesta I've owned has rattled somewhere and the MK8 is still no exception. Is there any adjustments on the seats at all.

I’ve loved every moment of owning it so far, but now I’m getting a little bored of it and looking at moving on to something new within the next year. I'm sure the Fiesta will do 95% of what the RS does for a lot less money, but I really want to scratch the RS itch. I cant seem to find any difference in shape. First of all, despite hearing all the praise on here I did not think it would be as good as it was! Currently in a Focus ST diesel, which is superb, but I've recently had a change in circumstances dropping my mileage from around 18k a year to more like 6-8k. A UK Based (Wordwide Members!) The ride is also far more supple, it takes bumps with considerably more grace - I can imagine it's quite comfortable around town and on the motorway compared to the MK7. The materials are better, it easily matches VW levels. There real upgrade is probably the quality of the interior. However mostly on ebay and some site i'm finding that they're marked as mk7. 18 Feb 2019 at 17:08 #5. How do you find the seats? Just been on a fourty minute test drive with the MK8. I’ve loved every moment of owning it so far, but now I’m getting a little bored of it and looking at moving on to something new within the next year. It also takes modifications, tunes and what not extremely well, there are plenty of people who already took it over 300HP. Thought I'd share my thoughts on the differences between it and my current MK7.

I'd imagine they will become a little softer with more miles as I'm still on less than 250 miles in mine. Exhaust sounds much better, raspier with faint pops and crackles if you really listen for them. I'm sure I'll get the itch eventually, but I could happily drive this car to it's death. For what it's worth, my long term average MPG is 37-38 on the MK7 and 41 with the MK8. MK8 is more comfier (on 18" wheels) but only very slightly - it's still going to shake you about! This is because 3 cylinder motors require heavier flywheels than 4 poppers do to achieve the same NVH. But die-hard old school hot hatch fans may find it a bit 'grown up'. Engine feels smoother and quite a bit faster, the sound is also a lot better! Has more torque and it's noticeable (Than a STOCK mk7), Dies off more quickly at higher RPM (example: third gear on the MK7 keeps on going but MK8 is stronger at low-end), It takes longer for the revs to return to idle, It oddly takes much longer to get up to temperature. I made the same change myself. Posted by 1 day ago. The seats felt better and posher too, the ST3 trim feels a lot nicer than the hard-wearing ST2 trim. Some people seem to call a facelift mk6 a mk7 which means they then think a 2008-present (new shape) is a mk8.

DereksDontRun. I've got a test drive booked for Friday, but have had my heart set on a Focus RS. If you let the car get to temperature it drives as smooth as any other car, it is indeed better than the 1.6 in this regard. i dont think there is a mk8 yet, you have european, UK and USA versions, the main difference between EU and US, but i know there is no mk8 as yet, probably a facelift to the mk7 next year with the new ST, the first picture u posted was a mk6 before the facelift. I currently have a MK7.5 Fiesta ST (1.6) stage 1 plus a few other mods. Top speed and acceleration figures become quite irrelevant, it's very engaging to drive. I wonder if the throttle mapping is way more aggressive at lower speeds or something, because at 20-40 mph it feels way more urgent than my Mk7. I noticed on ebay some people list stuff as 'Mk8' But infact i think the shape from 08 and onwards is all a Mk7! Press J to jump to the feed. It's a three cylinder so when the car is idling, especially with A/C on it will slightly vibrate but it completely goes away if you start moving or if you turn air conditioning off. Cabin: feels far better insulated, much quieter than my MK7. It feels (and is) likes a bigger car, almost like a cross between the MK7 Fiesta ST and Focus ST. Engine: felt quicker and naughtier at low speeds, but less so at motorway speeds. @djioor Several functions may not work. Although, by that logic, the Mk5 should have been called the Mk4 facelift lol, Well.. technically, the latest fiesta is a mk6 (according to ford - "the 6th generation"), but yeah, most people consider the mk4 + 5 to be entirely different cars, hence mk7. B&O system sounds great, very immersive.

MK8 has a lot of extra toys though - Having Sync3 w/Android Auto and the B&O speakers are the biggest interior upgrades for me over the MK7!

I feel like it might be the only time in my life I can justify owning an RS, but on the other hand the Fiesta is good value for money. It's easy to drive it hard and fling into corners, and yet it's still very engaging.

Engine: felt quicker and naughtier at low speeds, but less so at motorway speeds. You could get it to be the same with a tune and lighter flywheel, but there’ll be a lot more vibration.

I wonder if the throttle mapping is way more aggressive at lower speeds or something, because at 20-40 mph it feels way more urgent than my Mk7. Makes the MK7 feel very old school in comparison. Good review. Trust.
