Yeah I know I'm getting the same thing here but i'm just babying the car at the moment and enjoying the slow relaxed driving comapred to the POWER!!!! fasting driving that I usually do in my modded Polo Gti. He He He I must have ben ****ing people off for driving too slow but for some reason, the Fiesta is so smooth and delightful to drive that I fell no ned to drive fast at all and just wanna enjoy it for what it offers. I'm still surprised and happy with what it's got for the price. Sometimes it makes me asks the question, "why do we need to spend more on a car when a lovely car like the Fiesta does most things competantly? (with the exception of power).

Exactly dave,im baby'g my car also not took it over 100k and when they try it on i do the same and just sit on 100 with the music on just cruising,it is a delight to drive.

And yes for the money you can not go wrong with what it offers
Although that little mazda 2 in green is one popular car and i think people have definatley over looked the festa.The girl who sorted my insurance at suncorp said she wished she had bought the festa over the mazda 2.

The one thing im loving about it though is its not that popular so its still turning heads :eclipsee_

Yeah, they certainly turn heads. People of all different social groups, ages, sizes, everyone seems to look at it. It's a bloody good feeling when you come back from shopping and there is a crowd looking at your car, all while there is a purple SS-V parked across the park! Very nice. Most people don't even attempt to drag me, even in their hotted up Hiluxs and Bombadores, they know the power of the Fiesta is far too much from them to behold!!!!!

LOL, too true. 10 secs to 100kph aint exactly fast although it is a sharp little thing on the corners.

True True. But I do like the fact that it turns heads not once but twice. Had one guy chase me down the other days to ask me how the car is to drive etc etc etc. Pretty funny i'd say. Kinda missing driving the car casue been busy doin night shifts for the past week and haven't even touched the car recently. Hmm go for a drive today. The blood weather doesn't help either so still haven't washed the car since delivery.

True, true :sm_headba

Wifey loves driving vs the GTI partly because of that.

The car stands out in the crowd and the Vision, under carpark lights is a stunner.

A few cars have appeared to want to race us but seriously, as was said, most will beat it pretty easily.

Ours has certainly improved in the power area, nothing dramatic but noticeable.
