I came across this site while researching a purchase of a 2012 Ford Fiesta SE Sedan. I read many of your posts while doing said research. Ordered my Fiesta last Tuesday (wanted a manual transmission). Picked it up this past Thursday. So far I LOVE it! Still getting used to the Sync and other things.
I'm going from driving a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee. So it is quite a change, but its something I look forward to getting used to.

Welcome to FF! Glad you're loving it so far. It gets better every time I drive mine still!

Glad to see another new fiesta owner! You might want to think about a short throw shifter if you got a 5-speed fiesta. Makes the ride a lot more enjoyable IMO but some people might not want to modify their brand new fiesta so its understandable

Yeah, I'm one of those nerdy people who like to keep their new vehicle stock. I do have
a Bike Roof Rack mod in the near future though. I know, not that exciting.

I have looked through several of the reader rides on this site, and think that when its
time for new treads, I may go with some more stylish 17" wheels and lower profile tires. Gotta have the tinted windows too.

Thanks

Wheels and tint will look nice. You can tint your front windows in Tennessee correct? (IMO tint all the way around looks way better, but that's not legal here.)
Welcome and enjoy the ride.
