It sounds horrible unless your over 5k rpm, feels agricultural and lumpy and the gearing is too long. Horrible to drive in traffic, but kind of fun on the gas around back roads but thats mainly down to the chassis.
Fuel economy is bad on motorway but only OK around town.
Mine has the same car and I agree with your summing up completely - gutless unless revved hard. Economy around town is about 32mpg.

Previous car was also a Fiesta with the old inefficient CVH 1.4 petrol engine and that averaged 36mpg !
