Has anyone got the new Ford Fiesta and if so, what do you think of it?

I caught sight of the tv ad earlier and think this could well be the car I've been looking for :heartpuls

    It looks very similar to the Pug 307 which was my favourite car of choice until now ;)

    But several people have put me off buying a Pug so have been looking for something similar since.

    Looks like the design team forgot the door mirrors and put them on as an afterthought.;)
  • they do look similar except the 307 is a bit bigger than the fiesta.

    i dont like the front quarterlight idea with the mirrors behind the quarterlight.
    the window will never defrost in the winter and its the quietest window for a thief to break when trying to enter your vehicle or trying to steal something from your car.

    Good points guys! It's only now I've got pics of both in front of me I can spot the differences between the two. At initial glance they looked very similar indeed but now I'm not so certain :think:

    I'd have to compare them in the flesh and test drive the Fiesta to get a feel for it.

  • if space wasnt an issue i would rather have the fiesta.
    if space was an issue i would rather have a focus.

    Ahhh yes, I'd forgotten about the Focus. I think you were one of the ones who recommended it the last time I joined a discussion about new cars.

    The new fiesta is more the size of the peugeot 207. The Focus is more the size of a 308 (307 is previous model).

    The fiesta is quite cute. The centre dashboard layout looks a bit like a large nokia mobile phone.

    The Mazada 2 feels smaller than the Fiesta and the 207 when you are inside it.

    Mazda is not an option for me because the dealer is a 90 mile round trip.
