Hey guys

been looking at cars.

what are your views or opinions on the Ford Fiesta 1.4 (3 Door) 2008 model

I have been offered it at R110 000 at my local dealer

That's a rip-off, My dad bought his 1600TDCi 5dr for that price.

Thought you run out of petrol in a Yaris?

Why now the jump to Ford?

ya wth??

Just a question dude? Are you gay? No offence, but really, a Yaris is a gay car (no matter if you are male or female) and now jumping to a ford fiesta 1.4 which is just a little bit less gay... I mean if it was a 1.6 or a ST it's not at all gay, but Ford Fiesta 1.4... All I read is 'I am female'.

Na, just kidding.

Rather get something with a bit more power. 1.4 is not good IMHO. And that my friend, is a ripoff. That price right there. You can get a 1.6 (as Hman said) for that price.

You do know the Fiesta is being replaced by the end of this year?
I would rather consider of buying a Volkswagen polo 1.4 for more or less of the same price, better quality and higher resale value...

Other cars to look for...
- New Mazda 2 going for R124 000
- Peugeot 207, could easily beat down the price to R127 000 (Peugeot has
alot of problems though)
- New Renault Clio
- Honda Jazz
- New Opel Corsa

....Fiesta is old technology...I just bought my wife a brand new polo 1.4 with an aircon, remote central locking for R124 000.

thats also true. They are getting a new shape. But I can not find one image with the new fiesta shape...

edit: nvm... found one.

but another thing, a lot of sites has it that the ford fiesta is getting replaced by the 'Verve'...

Haha, lol Better quality how? My dad is a panelbeater at a VW (among other) accredited auto body repair shop, and he'd disagree.

Old tech how? My dad's Fiesta has ABS E/W remote C/L Aircon etc. For the price I mentioned earlier and it's got a much more powerful engine.

Get the renault clio 3 1.4 its got as much power as all the other 1.6's ... safety is excellent too.

I'm talking about interior quality Hman...

Hman · Post by **Hman** » 06 Mar 2008, 08:05
