It is pissing me off wondering if I should trade in/sell the XR6T and get a Fiesta ST..... I would need a dealer to let me have a 24 hour or even weekend test drive to have a better idea. The mrs has a 2012 Fiesta Zetec and although it has no go, it's a pretty fun little car with the 5 speed.

 

pros: fuel economy, rego, insurance etc costs will be lower. Repayments will be lower increasing borrowing capacity on a house. Easier to drive and park, hopefully more fun to drive. I have always liked nimble hatch backs.

 

cons: I might miss the power and torque not that I use it all that often. Might miss the room inside, especially when shopping and going fishing etc. The 6 speed manual in a small car is a worry. I had a Rolla with a 6 speed and 6th was geared like 5th would be and 5th was like a 4.5 in between.

 

Does anyone have experience driving and owning both cars? The Mrs. Says no but still having 3 years to pay off the falcon, I'm not sure what the big deal is.

 

I dont own one but nearly did if that helps. Took one for a test drive coz the misses was going to buy one. 

 

I actually didnt mind it as a daily thing. One we looked at was white. Looked pretty good. Kinda agressive. Interior is a nice place to be. Looks somewhat decent compared to the falcon. Gear box is nice and perky as is the car to drive. Quite responsive and felt good and tight.  Handled well. Cant really comment on 6th though
