Having sold the A2 as it was feeling a bit tired, and because I found myself with an itchy V5 (and the RS wasn't going anywhere) I looked about for a new car.
After much deliberation I've stepped away from the diesel engine and gone for a fuel efficient petrol, namely a 1.0t 3 cylinder one year old Fiesta Zetec S in Pearlescent Candy Blue.
Being a picky bugger I had them recondition the alloys to "as good as new" as there were a few scrapes and a new tyre as well which they did free of charge as I was a returning customer. (The same chain of Ford franchise I got the RS from)
With 123bhp it's pretty similar to the Puma but got a bit more torque at 147lbft and weighs about the same at 1016kg.
Comes with a few toys as it's an ex demo car - Sat Nav, Keyless Mykey, DAB radio, USB, Heated front screen, rear parking sensors etc so will be good for my commute. Only driven it home 30 odd miles so far but it's a nice drive with some nippy oomph. Free VED is nice too.
Picked it up today:
A few of the for sale photos that actually show it off as it was dark when I got home!
Outside guarding his big brother:
Will get some up to date photos once the snows gone and I can wash it.
