Definitely modern a looking car when see them on the road as apposed to some other cars getting around of the same age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnz Member 3,047 Member For: 11y 1m 7d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 01/10/16 11:15 AM Share Posted 01/10/16 11:15 AM Good write up. The idea of getting the Fiesta would be to have a fun car and cheaper repayments. After reading about the gear ratio's, it may sh*t me like it did in the Corolla. My first few cars were hatch backs and just had more fun driving them. Honestly you get used to the ratios like I said, can actually drive it using 3 gears in most situations lol, 1,3,5 etc if your lazy. Fuel economy is actually good when cruising at 100kmh despite the rpm. The wiring harness thing well... Doesnt happen to all cars I was unlucky, luckily a repair like that was a peice of cake for me but warranty is void if they work out I have done the repair, even though its better and was done properly with the correct solder and heat shrink as per the US TSB.Only effects 2.0 ecoboost from 2012 to.... 2015's have had the issue. All models. The Fiesta should he fine uses a different engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also interior seemed like a nicer place to be. Both drive well though. Cant go wrong for a daily fun car that you can zip around in imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally wanted a Focus RS, then a Golf R (which due to the borrowing capacity thing became a stupid idea). I guess the only thing left to do is talk to a mortgage broker and see if it will in fact help our situation then take one for a test drive. Do any Sydney dealerships allow for a decent test drive? Not a just a putt around the block for 10 mins drive. To keep it relavent and apologies for the chit chat. Nike changed how they do their shoe releases to be in line with the rest of the world. Although we get access to more kicks, the system is sh*t and in turn, sh*ts me. Guys jumped and tried to cop a pair to the second and waited 7 hours to eventually have a window pop up and say they were sold out. 1st world problems huh?

Its been reviewed as an awesome little car I just needed something a bit bigger and I liked the focus's hooligan nature.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coz you just made me google search images to refresh my memory, and yeah I dont like the fiesta interior lol... Its similar but worse, doen on features and feels poverty spec when sitting in one after the other. There is a reason fiesta is alot cheaper apart from size and power.

I agree...it is much personal opinion. I dont own either so ya may be right overall, but I personally dont think you could go wrong with either for a fun enjoyable car on a daily basis. The falcon is good but when you modify them they just arent as enjoyable overall. I already hate driving mine everyday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
