After parting with kitty a few weeks ago, and not wanting to run the jag into the ground after spending so much on it, i have acquired a 2011 fiesta for a runaround. I was looking for a 1.4 petrol about 2010 age with no particular desires about the trim, but I ended up with a 1.4 Auto in titanium trim - a friend of a friend was selling it, they had it from new and were asking a price that it was stupid not to.
Good points - not abused; low mileage 33k; titanium trim
Bad points - 1 kerbed wheel still roadworthy but unslightly; automatic gearbox is quite a bit more sluggish than the manual; the rear view mirror includes the reversing camera screen but it's badly discoloured; and the normal odd little bit of paint that needs touching in, especially where he hooked a bike rack on the tailgate
I have to say the reversing camera was an extra-cost option but is pretty superfluous because it's got rear park sensors fitted anyway. The mirror is badly degraded and it needs changing, I am guessing replacing it with a like-for-like unit from Ford will be a no-no financially.
Pics to follow in good time.
