Default Re: New Car in Our Stable

I had the opportunity to drive one of those a couple of years ago - a buddy of mine was part of the Ford Fiesta Movement, a Social Media experiment by Ford. He was given a Fiesta to drive for 6 months but he had to complete a series of videos and tasks with the car. He ended up with the car for a full year as he went above and beyond the call of duty, so to speak, and was selected with a few others to retain the car for the extended time period.

His was a manual gearbox car and I drove it with 4 full sized adults on board and it was actually a very fun little car. I like small cars, but my needs run slightly larger than this so I'm currently thinking about a new Focus for my next daily driver. It should be just big enough inside to carry my detailing equipment, but I know it won't hold everything my PT Turbo currently does. I rented a Fiat 500 in Florida recently and loved it, but it can't carry everything I need it to so, even in Abarth trim (which would be a blast) it just won't work for me.

Enjoy the Fiesta, it's a great little car and a real standout in it's class.
