Offering these 'useless' features offers big car practicality with small car efficiency and maneuverability. The Fiesta has never been much of a first car type of car. Most of these sales go to the likes of the cheap as chips Barina and Getz. These cars are for second cars, downsizes or people who like premium small cars. As it's well noted, many people are choosing the Zetec over the LX or CL, and the same goes overseas. Most people choose the Zetec S or Titanium model, and I think that would be the same here. We don't agree here so best to agree to disagree I think.

My first was (RIP little Red) and my second car is a fiesta... I guess I should consider myself lucky
Plus I agree with Danny, These features may seem gimicky, but my parent's 407 has all of the auto features plus the folding mirrors, and it just makes driving more simple. You don't have to worry about anything, well except for concentrating on the road of course.
