Your first click of the day www.maltatoday.com.mt Ford has just unveiled the refreshed 2014 Fiesta three- and fivedoor hatchbacks for Europe. The biggest update is to the Fiesta's front end, which gets Ford's latest familial face; but there are a host of smaller changes inside and out. Inside, Ford has upped the European Fiesta's game considerably in terms of sophistication and materials. The current Fiesta already outshines much of its competition when it comes to the use of softtouch surfaces, armrest padding, and the like, though its innards are pretty monochrome. For 2014, the Fiesta's cabin finally will look as classy as it feels, thanks to spritzes of piano-black plastic trim and chrome brightwork on the door handles, the air-vent surrounds, and the steering wheel. Ford even added a centre console and armrest between the front seats, a feature that, in the current-gen Fiesta, quickly makes its absence felt after spending more than five minutes in the car. The 2014 Ford Fiesta remains one of the best-driving compact hatchbacks on the road today. It's practical, efficient, and fun behind the wheel, and it looks better than ever after this year's mid-cycle tweaks. The 2014 Ford Fiesta will make its auto-show debut at this month's Paris show About GasanZammit Motors Ltd.
