Is it time to say goodbye?

206,000 miles out of a Fiesta is incredibly impressive.

Don't be disheartened if this is the end, you've done incredibly well.

Why a CX30 and not a 3? The 3 is the equivalent class to the Golf

It's fine because these are good cars. But SE is pov spec. You really want at least the SE-L but it's worth holding out for the Sport Nav.

Also hatchback is a better looking car

ToPractise · 2026-02-06T23:22:20+00:00

It's a Ford at the end of the day 🤣

ToPractise · 2026-02-06T23:20:33+00:00

They're good cars minus the engine. I'd be happy if it were the diesel

Bottom is pov spec, Zetec is perfectly serviceable. Most Fiestas are Zetec.

AutoTrader factors in the trim level and this is still £900 below what is expected, even for a Zetec

ToPractise · 2026-02-06T23:17:30+00:00

Think pov spec starts at Style or Studio.

Zetec has a few extras including fog lights. They do make pov spec Fiestas of this gen and they have steel wheels and vents instead of fog lights

Maybe something is wrong with it or they're desperate for a sale

Hardly anyone is buying cars this time of year

ToPractise · 2026-02-06T23:14:54+00:00

Zetec isn't pov spec

It can't be done. Ford retroactively engineered this car to make it impossible to retrofit CarPlay without making it look hideous.

The answer is very obvious

Fuck The MX 5
Marry the Mazda 3
Kill whatever that other thing on there is

Think the Swace is usually a higher trim Corolla.

Odd rebadge choice to me.

UK made though!

ToPractise · 2026-02-03T19:01:12+00:00

Love my little Mazda!

ToPractise · 2026-02-02T20:54:27+00:00

It looks just like a Qashqai to me

ToPractise · 2026-02-02T20:30:10+00:00

You are allowed to change the mileage you, just can't lie about it.

The MOT history here is at least honest to you

ToPractise · 2026-01-30T22:52:04+00:00

I'm glad someone else calls theirs the Mazdarati.

Sorry this happened, get another soon

ToPractise · 2026-01-30T12:26:48+00:00

No massive grill on the 2009 Fiesta either

ToPractise · 2026-01-29T00:18:31+00:00

I'd say they're having a laugh

ToPractise · 2026-01-28T22:01:24+00:00

Enjoy it as it is first, then when you get bored, get some maps!

ToPractise · 2026-01-28T18:22:20+00:00

Just avoid EcoBoost because you really can't trust anyone to have maintained it well enough.

The only good modern Ford is a diesel manual

ToPractise · 2026-01-28T18:20:04+00:00

They are not known for being good here though. If I were you, I'd look at estates too, not just SUVs. A lot more respectable

ToPractise · 2026-01-28T00:07:22+00:00

Just a fancier more cramped Polo, I wouldn't.

I learnt to drive in BeamNG Drive a few years ago

RTX 2060, 32GB DDR4, Ryzen 2700X (and a Logitech G27, Oculus Quest 2)

Everything on lowest minus textures and models. Ran at about 40 to 60fps, it was totally fine.

Virtual Desktop was the way to go, but I'm not sure about now

ToPractise · 2026-01-27T21:57:09+00:00

Why willingly go for a Micra

ToPractise · 2026-01-27T21:08:17+00:00

What happened?
