Glad you find my posts so entertaining!
My "opinion" ( an educated one at that since I have had the fortune of driving other European Fords, including the previous generation of Fiesta) of the european spec Fiesta is that it is probably the best b class car you can buy for the money anywhere in the world right now, even in standard trim.
My "expectations" of what the US spec car will be is based mostly on what Ford itself has reported about the car. Unfortunately Ford has decided to make certain changes to specific components, that from my experience, will be less than satisfying for ownership experience. Does my opinion represent the majority of potential customers, maybe not, but I do think that my opinions do come mighty close to those of many others that will consider this car in the USA.
I really hope I am wrong, and the final product is amazing as the euro spec unit is, but I am a realist so you'll understand if I don't hold my breath.
As for the seating issue..... I can't give you hard numbers, but large (tall and wide, maybe heavy?) Europeans are buying the car in droves with the seats as they are. I have yet to find any other negative comments about the seats except for you. If you can point me to those that have issues with them, please do.
Mark,
