  • Not stalking, just trying to avoid preparing project files for a QA audit next week! Anything is better than doing that rubbish, especially on a Friday afternoon!

  • Hi Unless your dealer has already told you... and if you are so minded, don't forget to haggle when the car arives that there is no alloy footrest as advertised in the brochure ( see what you can g

No worries - you're right to be wanting to make sure you've made the right choice on a big purchase like a car. And no you're not the only one, I'm sure I saw someone on the forum in the past worrying about fitting comfortably behind the wheel of a mk7 too, and they took just as much convincing as you ;) :lol:

yea i know now i was being silly lol.

will post back when i get my car and tell you how i get on :)

Honestly, I was even surprised with the space in the back, which in my opinion is not that bad for such a small car.

I've been pretty surprised too. A lot of people whined that there was no room in the back of my E46. I'm not that tall and don't have a driving position like the cool kids (I.e so far reclined back that they can barely see over the steering wheel).

It does feel like there is a lot of wasted space in the fiesta though because of the deep dash. Although not quite as bad as the latest focus.

I have had problems getting comfy in my zetec, because I have a neck issue... and it is fine now. I am 5'6" but once you have tweaked height and angle of seat back, you will be fine. I find though the back of the seat isnt as supportive as it could be, but as for sitting close etc, you will find a good position as there are so many adjustments you can make

i sit where my wrists can sit on top of the steering wheel if my arms were to be fully extended.. apparantly that is the best distance regardless of anything else

good luck

Waiting on delivery of my zetec 2012, it will not be 61 because I'm having my personal plate registered on it.

I like the fiestas large dash now. It gives the driver and front passenger the feel of being in a bigger car And is the result of having the nice large sloping windscreen.

When I sat in the all new focus at my dealership I personally didn't think the dash was as big as the fiestas (depth wise) , this may be down to the windscreen not being quite as slopey, (I presume anywhere as theres no small triangular front side windows near the wing mirrors.

No new car for me but HAPPY BIRTHDAY me :D :D :D
