I’m going to miss the good old days when Ford named their cars after jazz mags.
Fiesta trivia: I once worked at a place where my company car was a Cortina estate. It got replaced by a bright yellow Fiasco. I left.

Sadly, those glory days came to an end with the rise of internet porn and the very poor sales of the Ford XHamster.

Yeah, no more finding cars under a hedge for that some considerate soul left the greater good.

You’d bring a car home and your mum would find it in the garage and ground you for a week.

This sounds like an idea for a new thread assuming it doesn’t get deleted.

I drove a Fiesta for a few months for a few months as a rental before I got my current car. It was an unmitigated piece of crap. I’ve never hated a car that much. So yeah, good riddance.

Very much a car built to a price point to serve a purpose. I once drove a Cross that was much the same. Kitted out to look sporty, had the pulling power of an asthmatic snail. Absolute shit.
But cheap enough for most people to be able to use one to get to the supermarket.

Shame, have really enjoyed the fiesta - leased a new one in 16 and have kept getting em, pretty decent but we’re not heavy drivers. Pleasant enough and the satnav stuff was good after coming from shitty 2nd hand renault clios lol

It’ll be a big boost to second hand Fiesta car prices.
