What does this car say about you?

that i like a car with unique elegant styling and future like design.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

i think they would love to test drive it and see if they like the vehicle.

Would you buy this car again and why?

If i hadn`t suffered manufacturers defects and poor after sales service from the dealer i would have possibly bought another, but unfortunately because of my experiences I would decline the option of purchasing another Fiesta.

What are you likely to buy next?

A car with a better Reliability track record and a more comprehensive and clear Manuafacturers warranty. The Ford Motor Group Warranty is very unclear and not that good in my opinon.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£14,000

When did you buy the car?

October 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

I felt that I got a fairy reasonable deal considering the low mileage on the vehicle and the high spec and extras that the vehicle came equipped with.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

saw the car at a Motor show in Excel London and was impressed with new model.

What was the dealer like?

Usual car salesman like tactics, no real complaints about the dealer 7/10

What's it like to drive?

Driving is very responsive, engine is quiet and refined, however having 17" alloy wheels on the Titanium model look great visably but offer a very firm often uncomfortable ride.

What's it like to park?

very easy

Have you had any problems with the car?

had a recurring water leak in the drivers side footwell which is common with early models. Dealer was not overly helpful in resolving this issue. Beware that Ford Motor group only give a 12month base warranty for the water leaks and manufacturing defects, after this period 2nd & 3rd year of warranty the owner os liable to pay for such costs! Not a great Warranty at all

What's most practical about your car?

Low running costs, road tax, insurance.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Sound system is very good on Titanium model.
