G'day All,
Well the moment will soon be here that i step into our new Fiesta. The good old laser has developed a problem with the waterpump and we did not want to invest anymore money into her. So, we traded her in for a 5 dr Fiesta LX manual in Moondust Silver. Our first choice was Sea Gray, but that colour was not available soon enough. Joining the club, Rob |

Thanks Ives, No, i didn't get to do a test drive. I was on the waitinglist to test drive a manual because they only had autos, but the need to get a new car came sooner than expected. But, i have read so many good reports here and elsewhere that i'm happy to risk it. Rob |

Well, picked her up yesterday and we're getting to know each other :eclipsee_ . I have to say that it is a real zippy car and great fun to drive. But i have to get used to the interior space and the plastic. Especially my wife is not too impressed. The good thing about it is that she won't drive the car too much and change my seat all the time. Regards, Rob |

I thought the Fiesta's interior quality was miles ahead of it's competitors in the small light car class. |

I also think that Fiesta's interior is one of the better ones in its class. Honda Jazz and Mazda2 are good too, if not slightly better than Fiesta's.

G'day Rob, I'm not complaining about the dash, but the plastic of the doors and such is what i have to get used to. I also don't say it is cheapish, but i would have liked similar material like that from the dash on the doors. It could also be that i think this because the dash is a darkish gray and the doors are black which is too much of a contrast. Regards, Rob |
