Who they are

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.

Profile · Mk7 1.0 EcoBoost (2017-2023)

Ford Fiesta

Mk7 Fiesta (2017-2023, EU production ended 2023), 1.0 EcoBoost three-cylinder turbo petrol. Reference model for spec look-up and switch orientation. WLTP around 5.5 l/100km (manufacturer figure, indicative). Known age-related point: timing belt running in an oil bath on early EcoBoost engines (aggregated owner reports, historical; not verified by us).

Profile · Mk4 1.5 EcoBlue diesel (2018-2022)

Ford Focus

C-segment hatchback, fourth generation on the C2 platform. The 1.5 EcoBlue diesel with 120 hp was delivered between 2018 and around 2022; after that the diesel disappeared from the Dutch range. Reference model for spec look-up and switch orientation from an older model. WLTP consumption around 4.4 l/100km (manufacturer figure, indicative); diesel stays economical over long distance. No new price and no buy button, we are not a marketplace.
