Also, since I get my car back, it means I don't have to drive a god awful Yaris work car anymore.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and if you fix it - the car will still drive terribly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other option is the mrs buys an XR5 Turbo and I get her Fiesta as a daily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do sell coilovers for Fiesta's by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already handle better than falcons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does handle surprisingly well standard though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
