Happy with my new Fez.

Hi all,

I have had my LX manual MK6 since June 2006 and have clocked over just over 5000 Kms. After being a die hard Holden driver, I have done the unthinkable switched and switched camps, I can see what Craig Lowndes had to go through after his switch!!! I have to say that I am more than pleased with the package as it so much fun to drive.

I am wrapped with its go cart steering and handling, The engine has a heaps of low down torque which means you don't have to change gear as often. If you want to drive it hard it start singing smoothly from over 4000 rpm to 6000 rpm no problems. I also like the solid feel of the car, the doors close with a solid thud, and nothing rattles you can feel the build quality.

I was looking at the Hyundi Getz as an alternative, in my opinion it doesn't come any where near the Fiesta. I think the price difference was around $500, the best $500 I have ever spent. I bought the LX 5 door for $17,200 drive away, while a sale was on. Its economy has been great I keep regular check I get around 560ks for 39 litres around 7 litres per 100k since new, driving to and from work and the occassional trip. I now know why FEZs are so popular in the UK and Europe. Go Ford !!!

Cheers
