You can now only get the performance oriented 147kW Fiesta ST. RRP at $35,490 +ORC is a bit more than other cars OP is considering. So the 1.0L you discussed is no longer available new.

 

Damn, missed that bit of (old) news. Guess I'm going to have to bookmark this thread for future use!

As a few have mentioned, the turbo seems to be fine in the modern engines, you don't really know it's there. After 200k km, who knows, but most small cars rarely get that high anyway.
