I noticed this in the interior shot in the WQ Fiesta brochure, but didn't notice it in the specs. It's a nice feature, although I'd love instantaneous and average fuel consumption.

Was just over at local ford dealer picking some stuff up. had a facelift 5dr lx sitting out side. all I can say is ewwwwwww. The bump on the headlights is frigging huge. About the only good thing from the facelift is anyone wanting ST bump strips wont need to order them from UK. And maybe the interior.

Interior looks great, Front looks meaner. I stand by that. The facelift is needed in the wake of the getz and mazda 2 both getting facelifts, oh and the new Korean-a Barina lol

Personally, I reckon the facelift has really freshened the car, especially up front.

But I'd prefer that they not make huge holes in the rear bumper to put lights in the way they have with the WQ.

I think the update looks much better personally. Far more character.

AN ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN ON TV WOULD BE GOOD.

I've been advised it was a lucky bonus for the first few WQ LX owners - not to spec.

Bit of a Gimick if you ask me, must of been such an effort for the germans to reach over 30 cm to turn Ze volume nob. Just a distraction if you ask me. :

Could this be because you do not have one?! Trust me, it works VERY well, especially for the volume

In that case Ford might do it like the height-adjustable seat belts, which are no longer available
