Jun 1987: Fiesta CTX automatic ad from Ford «Fiesta's Magic Box»

This is an advertisement for the new Ford Fiesta CTX automatic. It focuses on its unique automatic gearbox and the driving experience. The text claims it is economical, easy to drive, and offers a smooth and quiet ride.

Fiesta's Magic Box

Fasten your seat belts. You're coming for a drive in a truly amazing little car. It's a 1.1 litre Ford Fiesta with a new kind of automatic gearbox, one that's designed especially for small cars. In the first place, it feels as nippy as a manual. In the second place, you'll be amazed by its fuel economy.* And, in the third place, it's great fun. Let's suppose you're just moving off. All the controls will seem quite familiar. The gear lever has five positions: park, reverse, neutral, drive and low. Slot it into drive, squeeze the accelerator, you're away. And here's where you get your first surprise. This little car is quick off the mark. That's because the gearbox is much simpler than a conventional automatic. So it doesn't use up as much engine power. In tests, it's done 0-60 mph within a second and a half of the five speed manual, and reached 87 mph.t But the best is still to come. As you accelerate, you expect to feel it change gear. But you don't. You see, the gearbox doesn't have the usual gears. Instead, it continuously adjusts itself so that you're always in the most efficient ratio for the prevailing conditions. People say it feels like a plane taking off. The car smoothly gathers speed with no hiccups along the way, and hardly any change in engine note. Once you've reached your desired speed, you ease off on the accelerator and something else quite delightful happens. The car seems to relax into a lovely quiet cruise. It's a bit like having a sixth gear, which in effect it has. The engine slows right down but you maintain your speed. Wonderful for motorways. That also explains why this Fiesta is so economical. Since it always chooses the highest possible gear ratio for the job, it uses a lot less petrol than a...

Time for the most silly hive mind question ever. I'm after an electric oven that shows the "set" temperature on a display (e.g. 180C) but can also what the oven has actually reached (e.g. 130C climbing). It seems a lot of ovens can do the first, but fewer do the second. Anyone got any suggestions?
