The official word from Ford Australia is the 1.4L choice on the auto fiesta was for economy. But I've read elsewhere that's the torque limit of the auto box they are using and that's why you can't have the 1.6L in it (to me that's more believable since it's not even an option). My wifes never driven a manual car more than a few times in her life but she learnt so she could have the new fiesta. Have you seen the I30? that was probably going to be the second choice. There's not much deals to be done on the new fiesta since they are selling more than they can build at retail price anyway but you might get it for 1000 less or so
