Goood morning people :)

I picked up my new car yesterday, I couldn't take any photos because it was about 5 or 6 o'clock, so the photos would of been a bit crap :P

Here's the back:

(The images are 600x400 and something, but I'll spoiler them anyway)

Here's the front:

The steering wheel and central console:

If you can see, behind the steering wheel is the Ford Power Button. It's only done 30 miles, 11 when it was picked up and the rest from driving around.

Close up of the central console:

The controls for Phone, Radio, CD and AUX naturally need the radio turned on, but this can be over-ridden by the voice controls near the steering wheel.

Interesting spec stuff

The keyless entry isn't like on other makes of cars, the car boot is the only thing to unlock and you have to be within 1 metre of the car. To open the rest of the car you push a small button on the door handle, but again you have to be within 1 metre/a few feet from the car.

To start the car you literally have to be inside, it can't be started outside and the central console gives a small warning saying the key is out of range/undetected.

1.4 Petrol engine
Bluetooth
Red ambience light that gives a subtle glow to the central console and handbrake.
Auto-wipers
Auto-headlights
And the mirrors fold in when the car is locked.

New Fez are nice however you only need the button to lock the car, unlock is automatic once the key is in range. Also don't trust the 'out of range' messages, they glitch quite a bit. Enjoy the new Fez though, hope you have better luck than I do in the Mondy with voice control.

£13,170 something, but it's on finance.

The keyless range is quite good, I made a game out of seeing the distance between it unlocking and the range between allowing you start the car. It seems quite safe, so hopefully not too glitchy :P It's about no more than 1 metre to unlock it and the car doesn't allow anyone to start it when the key is out of the car. When I picked it up I had to get out while it was on (but not started) and it came up with a warning message about the key being out of range.

Also, it's a New Fiesta so obviously a 58 reg plate :P It came out in mid October so getting it on an 08 plate is near impossible I believe?

I need to get the insurance done soon, it's on Ford's FREE 7 day drive away cover. But it won't be anymore than £1,200. It should be less with the security settings, but only one way to find out :P

GommeInc

Standard. I despise automatics with a passion :P

It comes with cruise control aswell if anyone's interested.

nice car but in the current state of affairs i would never buy new, i would wait a few months and pick one up second hand :)

i like the new fiestas but the colour makes it, the purple one on the advert for example is disgusting.

It doesn't really effect me, and we got a good deal because my mum bought a brand new Focus too (might be in back of a photo somewhere) and we got a few thousand off, plus supaguard free. So it's quite a good really, and they're both smashing cars :P

If you dont mind me asking, how much are paying monthly on finance?, because im interested in getting a new car next year and putting it on finance.

GommeInc
23-11-2008, 02:23 PM
£230 something for 3 years, and for the remaining amount owed, I can either get a new car or pay off the rest in one single payment.

Ford give their new customers 7 days free drive away cover :) It's on the Tescos one now though :P

Only problem with that was that between 23:59 and 00:01 this morning I couldn't drive the car :(

Quite possibly the most beautiful car inside I have ever seen, How about we become BFF's and you swap me my 07 clio for that beastie?

You ruined it by saying BFF :(

How about BF? I'm collecting them, it's like a hobby :D

It's quite a good inside for a small, not too expensive car isn't it? The dashboard is made out of some sort of rubbery substance, which makes a change to the normal plastic they used to use.

Awesome, sweet sweet love Gomme, Yeah the inside is beautiful. Ive been saving up to redecorate the inside of the Clio as I love the comfort of driving it, your car though is just stunning its making me feel funny things deep in my loins :(

Ah I see, a bit breezy between the knees ;)

What are you thinking of doing to your Clio? I hd a go with the cruise control today, it's a God send :D!

Haha Git! Im going to revamp the dash and make it all carbon fibre, thats costing £400, then changing the trimmings to a wine red colour along with new seats in the same vein of thought.

I must admit I'm not a huge fan of the new Fiesta, I think it looks a bit odd. Nice one anyway though, is it a Zetec S?

Titanium :) The Zetec S didn't really interest me spec wise. If I had the book with me I would list them, but I'm aware from home at the moment :P

Yep lol. Watched it last night, was awesome. I agree that one of the problems is that the seats don't fold flat, but then again, you don't gain much space so it doesn't both me much...

It doesn't read out text messages, but that depends on the phone I believe, like my could phone people if I told it too, but my phone hasn't been set up to do it.
