After a few months of deliberation, I picked up a new FiST today. Base in tuxedo black. Originally wanted a Performance Blue, but the only one nearby without a front plate bracket got sold today before I worked out a deal with the dealer. I found this one online and it didn't have a front bracket. North Carolina doesn't use them, so I'm not sure why so many dealers around here order Fiestas with the front bracket.
I first test drove a FiST back in March, liked it ok but thought the clutch was very touchy. Drove one again at the Ford Ecoboost Challenge in Raleigh. Today on the test drive I did fine with the clutch, think it just took some getting used to. Car had 33 miles on the odometer when did the test drive.
I used 0% Ford financing with the $500 Ecoboost rebate and $500 private cash.
Previously owned a 2008 Mazda Miata that I sold last year, and still have a 2000 Honda Prelude that I will probably be selling later this year.
The Fiesta had a small gouge in one of the plastic window trim panels that will be replaced by the dealer. Also having a small problem with Sirius, when I try to browse stations it just shows "Loading..." indefinitely. I can listen to the presets so I know the satellite receiver is working. I don't intend to pay for SiriusXM anyway, but seems like there is a software glitch of some kind.
