Well that was an expensive morning and I only went out for the paper!

I've just ordered a new Fiesta 1.6 auto titanium for Mrs Stu67. Bit late for opinions but has any body got one and is it ok?
It's the first time I have used her Peugeot 207 auto in quite a while and what a truly horrid thing it is, it always seems to be in the wrong gear to me. Anyway got so fed up went into the dealers and purchased her a new car! Seems the titanium comes with most kit on it and I got the city pack that includes the reversing bells and folding mirrors.

I was rather taken by the ST version but apparently she needs an auto because and I quote "there is to much going on" anyway she seems more than happy.

Sounds awesome... Why did you tell her? Serious man points if you'd just brought one home one day...

I've had one on order for just over a month now as I was impressed when I had a test drive.
I went for the Titanium too but with the Ecoboost engine which I thought was unbelievable, I've heard it doesn't do the MPG that they claim but I'm Hoping its better than my 4ltr in my other car smile
I also ordered the city pack and have also added the body pack too.
I've got my VIN plate number and printed out my build spec sheet, can't get the window sticker yet for some reason.
It is supposed to be coming next week, hopefully.

MAKE SURE YOU ORDER THE SPARE WHEEL OPTION INSTEAD OF THE TYRE REPAIR KIT !!

Thanks ! to be honest I never even thought about spare wheels just assumed that it would come with some form of wheel? your right I don't want a tube of foam. On another note do they come with a years AA/RAC or something?
I must be a car salesman's dream, "I'll have that one in Grey"

To be honest I don't drive her car that much at all, I've got a couple of classics and a old W126 300SE that I love but I was impressed with the Fiesta. It just seemed so much better than her current 207 although I think slightly smaller.

I turned up at my girlfriends work in a just bought VX220 - her response? 'Stupid boy!'

I'm not sure about the breakdown cover but I would think you get it with the new car !!

Great car is the new fiesta, ive got a 13 plate Fiesta ST2 and its amazingly good. Fiestas have come a long way in recent years and really are a solid well built car. Loads of options available too.
