No

£0
When did you buy the car?
July 2014
Did you get a good deal and why?
When I bought the car it was very much a sellers market as there was a waiting list for the Fiesta ST in many areas (even used ones). But I did knock them down by £800 so not to bad.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Dealer was friendly and honest.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Loads of fun to drive. The handling is pretty much perfect. Coming from a Focus ST, the Fiesta's handling is better and more responsive. The only issue really is the suspension is quite hard, you will feel every bump.
What's it like to park?
Very easy. The turning circle is also quite good.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Mechanically it's solid. But there are a number of annoying interior rattles, mainly from the rear seats and boot areas. The sync system also has a few bugs, but nothing major.
What's most practical about your car?
Plenty of boot space. 5 seats.
