Specification

This car has some advanced features but remember you can always turn them off if you want to get used to driving a more basic car.

Push button start with keyless entry - Starting the engine is as simple as pushing a button. There's no messing around with keys if you stall, in fact there are no keys at all. The car locks as you walk away and opens when the owner stands next to it. You'll be given a sensor to keep in your pocket when you go on a test so it will work for you as well.

Automatic wipers/lights/heater - As a learner you have enough to think about and concentrate on so let the lights, wipers and heater operate themselves while you keep both hands on the wheel. 

Voice control - If you can't remember which button does what then you can just talk to the car and it will even talk back to you! You can ask it to demist the windows, play a track from your phone or just have a conversation with it if you get bored. The car will talk to you to warn you of things like an incoming call or a change in temperature.

Cruise Control - You can accelerate and slow down just by holding buttons on the steering wheel and then the car will automatically maintain whatever speed you want while you rest your feet. This isn't something you should use too much as you need to learn how to drive without it although you are allowed to use this on a test. It comes in more when taking motorway lessons or pass plus.

EPAS - Electronic Power Assisted Steering automatically adjusts itself to the situation you're in. When parking, the steering wheel becomes lighter to help you spin it more quickly. When on a fast road it tightens the wheel to prevent unwanted lane wondering.

Power mirrors - If you come across a tight gap ahead then the mirrors fold in then out again, making it easier to get through. This can be invaluable around the tight roads of Birmingham!

Premium driving seat - The drivers seat has been upgraded for more comfort.

Anti-stall system - The Fiesta senses when you're about to move away and if you don't set the gas correctly then the car will do it for you. This is not cheating, it allows you to get used to how a car moves away and just avoids embarrassing and dangerous kangaroo jumping down the road. You can still stall and we will always teach you how to drive without this system as well but it comes in handy when pulling onto fast roundabouts by giving you an extra boost to get going when other cars would just stall.

Privacy glass - If you don't like the thought of other drivers getting angry or annoyed with you then don't worry because they can't see you - the rear windows are blacked out. This is perfectly legal so long as a minimum of 70% of natural sunlight shows through and it looks no different when you're inside the car than normal glass.

TDCI engine - This engine is responsive and can make it far easier when pulling onto roundabouts and doing high speed driving. The turbo charger helps you accelerate on open, winding roads and can make driving much safer by giving you that extra boost when you need to overtake or join a fast road.

Sat Nav  - From 2010 onwards you may be required to use sat nav systems as part of your test, see the tests page for details. Not only does it tell you where to go but also gives you valuable information such as warnings of sharp bends, speed limits and junctions up to half a mile before you reach them.
