Summary
What does this car say about you?
Someone who reads a lot of reviews before splashing out loads of money.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Love it - many just couldn't believe it's a Fiesta after the last boring looking model. Women particularly love the Hot Magenta colour, although it's more of a dark maroon to me.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes definitely because it is such a joy to drive & park.
What are you likely to buy next?
Not planning to change this for a few years, but unless something stunning comes on to the market it'll be another Fiesta.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Fantastic. I live in Somerset and do country roads and motorways. Motorways I cruise easily at 90mph (hammers the mpg though), and steep windy roads through the Mendips are handled with ease. A joy to drive.
What's it like to park?
I was used to Mondeos before this so it's an absolute doddle for me. I do tend to end up thinking I'm about to hit a wall when I've got three or four foot to spare.

Keyless entry/start, voice control, climate control.
