Well, I am a day before my Biodiversity exam tomorrow, and I have come across some very informitive YouTube videos on biodiversity, so enjoy!

Such productive revision >.<

Basically my parents are thinking of ditching the Qashqai which quite honestly is terrible in a good many ways, for either a C-Max or a Kuga, depending on a few things.

How do people find these cars? They'll be freshly built so the very latest models. Will either be a Titanium/Titanium X C-Max or a Titanium X Kuga really, so similar spec between them, just seems to depend on small MPV or an SUV rather than being the features of one vs. the features of the other.

Personally I'd be closer to the C-Max, but what do people think?

Thanks

(PS if this is in the wrong place i.e. it should be in Kuga/C-Max forum, please don't move it as due to forum issues I can't access model specific forums :c)

I will post later when it's on iPlayer, but really worth the watch.

Annoys me how people use the roads as race tracks, and this program highlights it. They hang around in packs, speeding around and taking others with them. They need putting down before they kill people >.<

Howdy folks, well I was bored and decided to snap a few daytime shots of the new car, not particularly the best as the good camera is currently out of commission >.<

I decided to put them up because not everyone has seen the car's yet too much and are on the fence about them, so thought it'd be a good plan to get them up. Feel free to post any pictures of your own, ask any questions and so on!

The car is beautiful to drive, I remember feeling the quality difference between my pre-facelift Zetec S and a Zetec S Focus both with the 1.6 TDCi engine, and now I feel very little difference at all between my Fiesta and the Focus. The steering wheel is much nicer in the hand for starters, and the seats are more fitting, it's quieter in the cabin and bumps seem much more soaked up than in the pre-facelift. Then there's the obvious differences in the interior trim being gloss black than silver which brings it in line with the Focus, and things seem a little more 'up market' than sporty, which some may like and some may not. The Sync currently is a love-hate relationship, it is a step backwards I feel, despite a more premium feel; it's quite slow on the voice control and it restarts playlists every time you enter the car, rather than restarting and takes a while for it to re-read your device and then play (up to 2 minutes being the worst so far), although it no longer turns off when you turn the ignition off. The only weird thing I've found with the driving of the car so far is that it sometimes won't start, and wants you to put your foot on both the brake and clutch.

Outside the only fault's I can say, are 2 really crappy areas of paint, which hopefully will be being put right soon, but all in all a good car.

487 miles in, and got 78 left in range, first tank with Tesco fuel

My car's spec is as follows;

2013 Ford Fiesta Zetec S 1.6 TDCi 

Red stitching & cloth seats

Ford Sync and Emergency Assist

Auto headlamps, wipers and dimming rear view mirror

City pack (Powerfold mirrors with LED puddle lamps and reversing sensors)

Adjustable bootload floor

Haven't done much to it really and the car is largely standard, only mods to date are;

- 35W HID dipped beams at 6000K

- CREE 6000K sidelights

- CREE 6000K reversing bulbs

- 6000K generic eBay LED's for registration lights

- Red footwell lighting

- Climair wind deflectors

- K&N panel filter

- Mist washer jets

- Yankee Candle black cherry air freshener

So, here we go!

Well it looks like I've been given a rush job, as the following aren't right with the paint;

1. There's a lump in the paint on the passenger's door

2. There's a rust spot on the spoiler (even though it's plastic)

3. There's a lump in the paint on the front drivers side body kit 

Any idea how to go about this with Ford? I doubt they can turn around and say well I've taken delivery now, but what are they likely to fob me off with?

- Thanks.
