Not mine but my wife's car
Ford, 2005, Fiesta WP Hatchback Zetec 3dr Auto 4sp 1.6i
It is not my car, I have another Mitsubishi Lancer. This baby was purchased for my lovely wife. The choice was done by her totally and it was right I might add. Car has aquamarine body color and mid range package level. So I want to share my impressions of this car in my car story.
Well for such a small auto it has good comfort, there are lots of space inside. Even for me with 186cm tall. But when you are seating at driving place you should be careful with bumping your knees. The inner trim is super. Dashboard is located at right place and includes everything you need although the fuel level sensor is not informative in my opinion. In addition the high/lower beam switcher I needed used to it. When it was only about 70 miles there appeared strange noise in transmission when idling away, I had visited guarantee and they swapped me something immediately. The scheduled repair of 300 miles was gone without problems, now it is almost 1000, still there is little problem with gearbox. The reverse level is shifting with noise. The whole noise proofing is not bad however it could be better. The engine 1.4l needs high quality petrol but it is not as willing as I expected, but my girl has no complement about it. Its fuel consumption I counted on average 35.5 mpg. Other fault recently recovered was its bad door proofing. At the car washing inside filled pool, tomorrow I will decide this problem.
Driveablity very impressing but lack of dynamic doesn’t let you enjoy of it. The angle of turn sharp, brakes work without troubles, suspension is real soft and comfortable. Standard audio with CD and remote control at the steering is good, I like it. I hope that this car story will help you have a good choice to ponder, and another person worldwide will say – this is my car.

You are a provident husband, though I'd never buy any car for my wife. I'd better buy my dream car - Lamborghini Gallardo though it's not cheap really. To buy it I'd have not to buy cars for my 8 wives.
