Reviews to Watch Out For: Ford Fiesta S, Mazda2, Hyundai Tucson Re-VGT, Hyundai Santa Fe, Chevy Spark

Author: J. Angelo Racoma Category: Reviews Tags: chevy, fiesta, Ford, Hyundai, mazda, Mazda2, review, santa fe, spark, tucson

I’ve been busy these past few weeks, but we’ve been fortunate enough to have test-driven a handful of cars during that time. So far, we’ve been through the usual review rounds with a Ford Fiesta S, Mazda2 and Hyundai Tucson. These next weekends, we have the Hyundai Santa Fe and Chevy Spark.

Checking out fuel efficiency, carrying capacity, proper inflation of car tires, different engine displacements, trims, features and models does take some time, especially for writers like us with deadlines and assignments. Reviews are coming soon, so watch this space.

Hi Mike. No experience with the Accent yet but I’ll ask Hyundai Phils if they can lens me one. So far the 1.6 Ford Fiesta gave me roughly 8 to 10 Km/L. The Fiesta’s onboard computer actually shows L per 100Km and I got an average of 10 to 12 L per 100Km. The automatic is actually an automatically-actuated clutch in a dual-gearbox configuration. It has its good and bad sides.
