We began the day by meeting up at my house and going to the LI Auto Show. We got there and we got offered test drives in 2010 Ford Fiestas I am in lime 5spd he is in maroon auto. The guys said go nuts so we tortured those tires I had foot flat on the floor in first on the doughnut.

id think more let me google it. It is a 1.6L mazda engine and it gets about 40mpg combined. I would imagine around 45 highway.

dude the 95 hp felt like 140 so 120 would prolly feel like 180-120 cuz its so light and those brakes and suspension were awesome

yeah and when he told me they were disc and drum not 4 wheel discs i was so shocked

The only complaint I have about that fiesta was the way you adjust the seats. Did you have to adjust them?

yea it sure felt like rear disc to me dude.. i adjusted the seat as i needed to move closer

to lower the seat you have to pump a handle that feels like the tilt handle opn most cars and to recline a bit more i had to turn a knob like when we lower the seats on our galalants. the seat adjustment was annoying
Galanttuner10
10-19-2009, 10:20 AM
thats how a jettas seat adjustment is so it didnt bother me much cuz i had a jetta, but if thats the only thing thats annoying i guess ford did a good job

im sure if i spent longer i could find more issues, but they definitely did better then with most recent cars, such as my girls focus
