So, I'm looking at the 2011 Ford Fiesta as a secondary (primary?) vehicle for my fiance and myself.
My biggest inner debate in Manual vs. Auto. Good golly I'd love to have an stick-shift, but if seems dumbish to go with a 5 speed whilst a 6 speed is available. The 5 speed stick is rated at 28/37 and the 6 speed auto is rated at 29/38. Additionally, the stick is $1000 cheaper... and did i mention it has the 3rd pedal???
We're definately leaning heavily on Obnixous Lime Hatchback SE, with Sport appearance (the only way to get cruise control) and Sync.
Any thoughts on the vehicle? Anyone else go for a test drive?
It drove nicely, we were in LA, so there we no chances to sqirt the lil guy up to any reasonable speeds... I'm not a huge fan of the high "belt-line" feeling, but it seems to be the new trend.
