Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Franchised
Did you buy this car new?
Yes
What price did you pay?
£11,000
When did you buy the car?
July 2008
Did you get a good deal and why?
Got a good deal because they were coming to the end of this particular style of fiesta and wanting to make way for the new style. Also, turned up an hour before they were closing for the day at the end of a quiet week!
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Looks, comfort & economy. (That and the fact that they had our exact model parked in the showroom and we fell in love with it!).
What was the dealer like?
Fantastic, not pushy, very knowledgeable. (wish the same could be said for the servicing department).

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Quite a firm drive but it does have large alloys and low profile tyres so thats the price you pay for the good looks!
What's it like to park?
Very easy, good turning circle and good all round visibility.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Tracking needs checking every 3 months due to the very low profile tyres and the hundreds of speed bumps locally meaning we went through 6 front tyres in 2 years.
What's most practical about your car?
Decent boot size, 5 door practicality, good adjustment of seat and steering wheel to cater for me (6'5").
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Power folding wing mirrors that fold in with remote locking.
