Drive Car of the Year 2009

The new Ford Fiesta is a case in point. Based on the underpinnings of the Mazda2, the latest Fiesta starts with good credentials.

It also brings a long equipment list on some models, as well as an impressive interior and proven driving ability, not to mention sharp pricing. The option of seven airbags and stability control will also mean it does well when measured against the gruelling Drive Car of the Year criteria.

For the first time in DCOTY history, though, we've opted to bring both the auto and manual version of a single model to the contest. That's because the manual comes with a larger, more powerful 1.6-litre engine, making it a standout in the class. Opt for the auto, though, and the engine reverts to a less impressive 1.4-litre.

Judges will drive both over the six days of testing but the award could conceivably go to just one Fiesta. The judges' conundrum will be deciding whether the auto is up to the task and whether a manual gearbox is relevant to increasingly auto-centric small-car buyers.
