There are a lot of little old ladies driving them too nowadays....Hate that! I remember reading that Ford marketed the Fiesta to affluent people who wanted a very well made small car and not just a cheap car. It makes sence in Europe (and most big cities in Australia) to have a small car to get around. The Fiesta is a quantum leap in build quality for any small car. My Fiesta is just as good as a new Focus as far as I am concerned for build quality. Thus the reason I decided not to go and trade the Fiesta in for a Mk2 Focus. After driving the Focus, the Fiesta was just as nice. Sure it is a bit rougher to drive on the road, any small car will be compared to a larger car. But that whole go cart feel of precise steering and great performance is what kept me driving the Fiesta. If Ford pulls their finger out and gets us a three door Focus then maybe I might trade it in but untill then my Fiesta is great fun.
Couple of things I would like to steal from a Mk2 Focus and transplant into the Fiesta would be the power window system. The ability to open the window fully with one press of the button is great and the system to prevent anything getting jammed in the window is also good. Not to mention that 2ltr engine! Got to transplant one of those eventually...
