Hey Everyone my girlfriend is currently looking at buying a 2009-2012 Ford Fiesta and I'm wondering if there are any known faults or anything we should look out for when test driving and having a browse at a few of them.
Thanks!

automatic dual clutch-shuddering/indecision

Had mine since 2009
- AC sucks on all the German built WS - Reverse on the manual crunches, clutch has to be held in for a few seconds first for smooth shift into reverse which they all also do Build quality is good, no problems with mine. |

the WT is generally more reliable, better A/C less suspension and brake noise complaints, less stalling issues and they don't ping like the WS and the WT is newer
plus you can always bargain the seller down saying the WS german built car is better than the WT thai built car but in reality the thai built car is a bit better oh the german car has a soft dash (who cares really who touches their dash and thinks..oooh!) manual is very easy to drive and would be my pick over the auto still might be a bargain WT runout at a dealer, check carsales you might even get one for $13500 on 2.9%

Euro build zetec manual with the 1.6
My mum has one and ever time I drive it I love it, so nimble and with a manual you can feel comfortable with the 1.6 to overtake ect |
