Hi everyone! Im a serial car changer. This is my 16th lol (i think). Still relatively young (26) but finally seen the light and bought my first brand new car.

First pic...



Its a Fiesta 2013 Titanium 1.0 Ecoboost 125ps. Bloody mouthful and a half lol - in Frozen White. Which I had to pay £250 for lol.

Thought id better clean it - white is the worst colour at this time of year...





(Iron X is amazing stuff!)















Not to everyones tastes im sure but I really like it!

Really like that, I actually think the front looks great, the DRLs aren't too offensive as well IMO.

Yeah the new front is gopping awful on these, especially compared to how it used to look.

They are nice cars though and that looks like a good spec too, enjoy it.

Bit of a love / hate on the front end.

I prefer this to the previous onesmile

Just a bit tidier IMHO.

Very nice indeed.

You must be fairly local to me, I'm just outside Woodbridge.

I think they have really spoiled the Fiesta with that new front end.

Each to their own, but I don't like.

I prefer the new front, good little motor. Agree about white cars, picked up mine last month and its been a nightmare to keep clean. Don't regret choosing white though.

1.0 is a fantastic engine just make sure you get an Ecoboost not a 80ps lol.

5 door is just personal preference - never been a 3 door fan, having to get in and out to let people in and out and the seat belts are always too far back lol

You paid extra for them to lacquer the basecoat? tongue out

An old school friend recently updated her Facebook status "Off to collect my brand new sports car today!!"

What she meant was "Going to collect finance company's Ford Fiesta Zetec S today"

Driven a 1.0 Ecoboost B-Max and Focus. Great little engine, amazing noise. Will be fantastic in a Fiesta I imagine. Update in a couple of months when it's bedded in a bit and see what you're doing to the gallon smile

Nice.My first brand new car was a 1989 Fiesta 1.1LX it cost £7600, you sure get a lot more car for your money these days, its a total piss take of Ford to charge for flat white though, unbelievable.
