KeithC Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Well, the car has arrived today and the wife is made up. Very good drive and loads of kit to play with. Must say, I'm glad it's got the USB connection as it saves getting the wife an iPod. 16GB stick for around £20, over 100 albums, leave it plugged in without worrying about it unlike an iPod, very quick access, song title on screen and you can use Shuffle to randomly play songs as well. It costs more than that for the iPod cable from Fords. Needs a wash, so sorry that the pictures are of a dirty car, but hey ho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knighton Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Great looking car. The inside colour complements the outside colour very well. Looking forward to getting mine as its the same spec but in sea grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hedgepig Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Nice car Keith--I wasn't sure about the red interior but I have to admit it tones well on yours. I bet your wife's happy now plus I like the silver BMW in the background--it's managed to sneak its nose into four of your pictures. Just one thing I regret now--I should have had a USB socket as well as the jack as you seem to get more flexibility etc. Never mind--good job I've got my USB turntable and MP3 ripping gear!! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As previously said, negates any thought of using an iPod. The voice control is excellent to, alter the Climate temp, tune the radio, ring somebody up, it's !Removed! awesome.

Voice control is good I agree--have you found that sometimes it misinterprets your command and puts the climate control on instead of activating the phone????? I've got round it though.......just say "telephone" instead of "phone". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichellefromEssex Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Its really nice, I agree the colours go great together, when I first was told that they had the car we were after in a holding depot and we could have it within 3 weeks (actually got it in 2 weeks) but that it had the blue interior I wasnt that keen, however now I love my interior and couldnt imagine having just boring black dash lol. Happy days driving x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know anyone with a ford ticket you could use? one of my OH customers gave us a loyalty ticket and we got £500 off the car on top of the discount we got and ontop of our money for trade in on the merc. Oh also we waited and got the lower VAT and ended up with £5k off of our car plus a few extras like mats, fuel and superguard. Good luck x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make your car just £8,000...the base fiesta costs more. Was that a typo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
