For sales figures then they should be out around early April. Personally I am with you and think they look great. My daughter will be looking for a new car soon and I am already checking the sales sites and dealers for a Festy for her. Hugely better looking than a Daewoo Barina.

the better half just got a new WT Fiesta Zetec manual. great little car, great fuel economy and very quiet.
packed with features and seems to be screwed together quite well. my only gripe is there is no spare wheel, not even a temporary spare and they wanted $900 plus gst to supply one. |

I guess you are only going to get biased opinions but a trip over to the Fiesta forums may be of some help to you. I found them very knowlegable and helpful.

New Fiesta is hawt. If I had to choose a new shopping trolley it would be one of those or an i30.
As for the Spark...my Mrs who knows a bit about cars but not a lot, saw the ad on TV for the first time and said "wow, that's ugly". 'nuff said.

I have a wt lx with the powershift trans. It runs fine on 95 with no pinging. The fiesta has been tuned optimaly for 95 so if yours is pinging there must be a tuning problem or you have gotten on to a bad batch of fuel, it can happen.

Honestly not a fan of the rear lights on the fiesta, high mount lights look like vomit to me...
