Default My Vision Zetec!
Hi guys

It has finally arrived!! I picked her up yesterday morning and drove it straight to the tinting place to get the windows done!

Went for a 100km long drive last night with a few mates... OMG!

I love it, the Bluetooth and USB work a treat! I've loaded all my songs on my computer on to a 32GB USB drive and the menu system works flawlessly. The speakers don't sound too bad either, i'm impressed!

The drive is so smooth and easy too. I'm getting paint protection done as we speak so when I get her back later today ill take some pics.

I can't believe it has arrived lol

Cheers

Daniel

The irony is I've delayed pickup till 30th July due to leasing change over.

Hope your enjoying it.

I feel for you mate. I know how painful the wait is expecially now when there seems to be a sudden influx of fiesta zetecs on the road. Over the past two days, I've seen a lot more of them than compared to the last 3 months!!! So far the colours I've seen them in are silver, purple and most commonly black.

Here she is!! (since these pics I have taken the number plate surrounds off and given her a wash!)

Mods so far have been the tinted windows and paint protection...

Front
Rear

What do you think?

You know why ....

People will often divulge a fair amount of personal info on forums.

When that is viewable together with items like rego numbers, the suggestion is that identity theft is a risk.

I prefer not to put up my rego plates but for another reason.

As re. the car - looks superb mate. Love the Vision in the Fiesta.

What are you finding performance like Vision Zetec? I know the engine is just a newbie, but is it acceptable?

Its not too bad Rapid. Its now done 1000km's and I can feel it has opened up heaps since new. Its fine around town as 1st gear is pretty short so it can get up and boogy as much as a small 4cyl can but up hills it has to kick down two gears to get up!!

I'd love to compare engines/transmissions and see the actuall difference. My car is no powerhouse, but I couldn't imagine the auto being that slow? From my short drive in an auto a few months ago it didn't seem too bad.
