That is the only vehicle on my list that I regret ever owning and that is on a list with 2 AMC Gremlins on it.
The Gremlin was actually a fun car to drive but not very stable when doing a 180 turn and hitting a curb. I haven't done that again since.
I hope you also noticed that is the only Dodge on the list and that there is absolutely no Chevy on the list at all.

I bought a 2002 Nissan Sentra new, then my husband got a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer OZ new, which we later sold when we didn't need 2 cars any longer. The Fiesta will be our third new car.

3rd> 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Duramax diesel p/u

The Impala was the only one we bought off the lot. The rest were all factory orders.

This is the first new Ford I have owned!
I have owned many used Fords in the past.
The 3 previous new vehicles I bought were all Toyotas.
If this car is half as reliable as any of those were, I will be very
happy.

Default Why yes it is! :-)

My very first car I bought was a 2001 Hyundai Elantra GLS when I was 19 and it wasn't new but only a year old. So yes my Fiesta is my second car and first new car that I've purchased. I'm loving it. My Elantra was slightly bigger, roomier and had more convenient little feature like sunglass holder, and center console(which I'm getting one for my Fiesta soon) and I loved that car cause it almost never gave me any problems but I'm so enjoying this car way more so far! :-D

This is my very first brand new car. I've only had it for 2 weeks and I love getting in it every morning and having that new car smell!

I have always said two things:

1. I will never buy a new car.

2. I will never buy an American car.

Yesterday, I bought a lime SES hatchback.

Good for you. If it makes you feel better, you bought a Mexican car, 60% of which was designed in Europe.

Default Is the Fiesta your first new car purchase?

No ... my very first car purchased new was a 1972 Pinto Runabout!!!! I had a Maverick, 1978 Fiesta S, 1981 Escort Wagon SS. Then my next new car was the 1983.5 Cougar.

After that, I was promoted into management at Ford and had management lease cars ... driving a Merkur, T'Bird Turbos, T'Bird Supercoupe, Linc Mark VII's, Linc Mark VIII's, Jag XJS Coupe, Jag XKS Convertibles, Linc LS, T'Bird Convertible, Jag X Types, Volvo S60 Turbo & Linc MKX.

After I retired, I leased another Linc MKX then purchased my current Fiesta!
