Unfortunately due to my treatment by Ford and a couple of its dealers, troubles with my car and severe inconvenience and money losses incurred, I've been forced to rid myself of the car.
It's a pity, I've owned it all of six months and enjoyed driving it. But over here dealers aren't as friendly, and no where near as willing to investigate and fix problems. I've suffered with a broken transmission for nearly all the time I've owned it and after disputes with dealers, customer service and trips to independent mechanics and technicians I've reached my wit's end.
This afternoon I bought a Hyundai i30 trophy. White like the one in the photo. There is a rather clear difference in quality between the two vehicles, and I wonder why I never bought this in the first place. For less than I spent on the Fiesta, I get a better build, bigger more powerful engine, a more reliable car on the whole, larger alloys, bigger boot, projector headlights, a 5 year unlimited kilometer warranty, a better drive (suspension on i30s in Australia is built from scratch to match our retarded roads) etc.
The Fiesta is a lovely design but the build quality, transmission and dealer/company support for the product here really, really let it and me down.
I have thouroughly enjoyed posting and learning at this site. It's fantastic and hands down the best car fan forum I;ve been a member of. A lot of great info and experience here, and I hope to keep posting even when I drive another car.
Cheers
