Awkward. Cringe 2017"s most important new car rolls up to its crucial grudge match and not a soul notices. Ford shifts more than 100,000 Fiestas a year most of the new ones will be Zetec spec, not this toppier Titanium model but the reskin of the phenomenally successful last car isn"t radical. Next to the abstract Citroen C3, the manga Nissan Micra, sharp-suited Seat Ibiza and bodykitted Vauxhall Corsa all of which have shown up with bespoke three-cylinder turbo engines and manual gearboxes the Fiesta MkVIII is, according the design-microscope wit of the TG art desk "a bit Blandy Murray". Don"t just blame grey paint: the old Fiesta was pretty. It gave the idling supermini set a proper kick up the design backside. 2017"s Ford "mini is facing a battalion of interesting-looking contenders wearing a staunch poker face.Photography: Tom Salt
