hey guys and girls,
I cannot recommend the fiesta enough for long trips drove from campbelltown to surfers paradise QLD over night and then back during the day and the fiesta was great excellent on fuel only filled up twice both ways a tank gets me about 670kms !!! the fiesta actually saved my life with how great the turning is as some clown on the road did not tie up there push bike tightly and at 100km an hour the bike fell off the bike rack right in front of me thankfully there was no one on the other side of the road i swerved and missed it buy a meter but very lucky mind you my fiesta is lowered on pedders and rolling on 17inch wheels but cannot recommend enough the performance of the fiesta especially going up hill through all the twisties and turnes had a great time driving it  so if anyone out there is thinking about driving the fiesta on a long distance drive i highly recommend it only negative thing is a rock put a crack in my windscreen but that's what insurance is for and the risk of driving next to trucks :( other then that smoothest trip i have been on If anyone has any questions or import please feel free to post !!

This time last year I drove our 5 door WQ zetec from Melbourne to the Gold Coast with the wife and two kids, as well as a 7x5 trailer with a cage and a big dumb Labrador. It didn't miss a beat the whole trip. It would have been nice to have cruise, but other than that quite a good trip.
