Name- Brydie
Age- 20 Location- Newcastle Occupation- Accountant and university student Fiesta- picking up my WS 2011 Zetec in Vision this Saturday- lucky find at a dealership (brand new, only 50-ish kms!), had to go for it! Best thing about it- the creature comforts! Air con, central locking, etc etc. Coming from a very old car, so I'm almost overwhelmed by the new features I am gaining! Best mod done- none yet, or for a while I'd say. Love how they look and feel stock Money no option mod- go to Ford HQ and get an XR4 built for me, haha! |

I live in W.A. And have just received my new Fiesta WT Lx hatch 2011 in a lovely chili orange. I am loving it. I had a 2007 Fiesta which my husband bought me just before he passed away, but unfortunately I was recently rear ended by an y inattentive young person. I really wanted another Fiesta as I was very happy with the one I owned.
My only dissatisfaction at the moment is that I have no spare tyre. With all the country driving I have to do living in a regional area, I don't feel very secure with just a sealant to re-inflate if I have a problem. However after adding to the insurance payout to get this new car I don't have the money needed to purchase an after market wheel, tyre, jack etc. Does anyone have any views on this matter? |

I'm looking for a spare for the wife's car. Hopefully, someone in WA will get a CL (= base model), pick up some alloys and let the steel wheels go cheap.
Two things I would point out to you. 1. The Continental tyres on the Fiesta (WT) are quite soft, which is a price you probably pay for their excellent grip. This means you are vulnerable to nails etc. My wife managed to pierce tyres twice in the first couple of months she had the car, but fortunately has avoided that fate again in the next ten months. 2. The wheels on the WT are a different size to the WS (previous model Fiesta, though looks very similar). This means you need to be careful if you pick up a wheel from another Fiesta - it will only fit if it comes from a WT. All in all, I'd be looking to get a spare ASAP, particularly if you do a lot of out of town/city driving.

Hank you In Focus for that information I really have no information about my tyres as I not investigated or researched at all as yet. I am first going to visit a tyre place where I trust the man in charge. I don't want to buy from Ford as the price is high and I wonder why I should give them more money when this seems to be just a money saving venture on their side. The web site tells me they decided that buyers would rather have vBluetooth technology etc than a spare. Well, they didn't ask me!

Hi I'm Michael from Sydney and will pick up my new Fiesta CL on Saturday and I'm already starting to look for a couple of mods for it. Tints and new wheels might be the first things

In the process of rejoining the Fiesta club. Sold our 2009 WS Zetec 5door 18 months ago as we needed the cash for other things at the time. My wife has missed it ever since, but we've been trying to make do with one car. Given up on the one car thing, so we've been looking at buying/leasing something small and economical new and were all set to get an i30 CRDi when we decided to buy a used Fiesta instead and save about $10k. Found a nice 3door Zetec in the same Vision blue we had, still under warranty at the right price. Just gotta sort out the finance and it'll be ours. Will post pics if/when I get it.
Name: Dion Age: 38 Location: Brisbane Occupation: I/T Fiesta: 2010 WS Zetec 3door Best: best looking and handling cheapish small car. Ever! Best mod: window tint Money no option: matching Fiesta ST & Focus ST for the wife and me
