Didn't think you were.. I hate all those piece of shit civics, accords, integras.. They all have the wing, the altezza lights, and the chrome 14" hub caps..

I use mine for economy and keeping the miles off my nicer vehicles. I drive 2 hours round trip every day for work..

You can't even buy one anymore new or used without threat of theft or abuse by previous owner.

Looks-wise I put it about equal with the Yaris. Both are better looking than the Fit, Aveo, and Korean offerings.
Yeah I don't like the wheels. But it's HUGE better looking than any of those, including the Yaris. I'll get a thread up in a few mins.

Most consumers who want an "economy" car aren't willing to give anything up to achieve actual economy so manufacturers just build smaller cars that only give the appearance of economy. Personally I'd rather have one of Sir Alec Issigonis' original Minis weighing 1,500lbs running a B18C5 Integra Type-R engine and still get great mileage, but I guess I'm uncommon and nobody really builds the cars I would want.
That's the cool part about the Fiesta. It has all those super nice options in a sub $20k car. It's also the only car in its class with many of those options and getting a 5 star safety rating. It even has knee airbags... F knee airbags. It's a super cool little car.
