Driving the Focus for the two week made me realise I miss the Fiesta and it's loud cabin noise, quick take-off and the rev happy engine. If I do sell the Fiesta later on down the track, it would be nice to purchase another car that has the same rev-happy engine and cabin noise.

It's possibley because the two cars are Auto :hihi:
Hmm, maybe just a fluke car?

Yeah, Ford told me that no running in period appart from running in the brakes for the 1st 100km was required. Don't know if it's just unique to that engine...
