Ford fiesta - starting after stalling/ knowing your geat

[becca121]

Hi everyone.

I was hoping someone could help. I'm new on here, just passed my test but still struggle a bit with stalling.

I'm a very anxious driver and something I found helpful on the car I learned on (Scoda Fabia) was the fact that you can just put your clutch down to restart it - you dont have to turn your engine on and off. I'm not sure what this features called but was wondering if it comes with any of the ford fiestas?

I also really liked the fact that the scoda tells you which gear you're in on the dashboard and not sure whether this is possible to see on the fiesta? I have read some fiestas indicate when you need to change gear but im not sure whether theres a setting where they actually shows you your current gear on the dashboard?

I know these features will probably seem unneccessary once Im more practiced at driving but i really feel they will help with my confidence in the meantime!

Thanks so much
Becky

Hi Becky,

This is a forum dedicated to the Volvo XC40, so you might be better signing up to. Fiesta owners discussion board!

However, the feature you refer to is called 'stop-start' and most new cars will have it.

I'm not sure whether Fiestas have a gear indicator light, but I would expect them to have the change up light, I know Corsas do.

I know, I think we could all say more!

Becky is young, just passed her test and a bit green. She has been steered in the right direction which is the main thing.

Speaking of being green, I hired a skip last year. When the guy turned up to collect it, he loaded on to the lorry and I still don’t know why I did what I did to this day. I shock his hand and thanked him. I bet he doesn’t get that every day....

Becca121 is by her/his admission new on this forum, I see no indication that he/she is young.

You could pick a fight in an empty room.

Becky is young, Middle aged or old, just passed her or his test and is a bit green, been around a bit or very experienced. She or he has been steered in the right direction which is the main thing.

How does that suit

You couldn't make it up!

Oh err, well yes I suppose you did.
