    Just drove the new 2011 Fiesta!!!!!!!

    My wife and I just got back from taking a trip down I-77 to Charleston to test drive the new what will be 2011 Ford Fiesta! What a blast!!!! We got to drive a lime green 5 speed around town, and check the car out, ask questions, take pics, etc. I will post some pictures tommorow when I get to the shop and have broadband to work with.
    Look out! they are talking ( with no promises of course) about coming up to Ohiosteva Spring Fling, or Festiva Madness in the fall now that we are known about!!!!

        They are NOT out yet. It will be next year before they are offered here. Right now, they have a fleet of Euro Spec Fiestas on the road, doing Meet & Test Drive events across the country to build up to the entrance of the cars to the North American market.
        What did I like????
        Sync technology
        120 HP with a Euro tuned suspension
        NO TORQUE STEER AT ALL!!!!
        Very roomy interior that is set up VERY much like a Festiva for versitility for passengers, or hauling cargo around
        Heated Leather Seats!!!!
        It has many other interesting items to check out including the newer type push button start system, a 5 door hatch setup, a VERY nice overall footprint about the size of a Festiva, tight turning circle that makes it drive and park like a Festiva, but with power everything, GREAT ergonomics inside for pedal placement, wheel position, well laid out under hood for maintenence with ROOM to get to everything.............
        Whew!!!!!!!

          Oh, they told me that they were *planning* on the base model starting in the 12K price range.
          No heated seats

                Does it feel small like the Festiva or bloated like the Focus?

                  It drove and felt like a Festiva without all the squeeks, drafts, ETC.
                  I did NOT like the Focus at all.

                      If I understood it correctly, all will have the sport suspension, and the 17's are an option. THe four that were there all had 16" on them.
                      Oh, and they were 5 speeds, and ATX. No 6 speeds.
