Snapped up a lease deal which had some in stock so can’t comment on any delivery delays but this seemed as good a place as any to say hi. :) Dan Is it the X model? If not I don't think there were delivery delays with the standard St Line as they don't have any leather trimming on seats etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The X looks great but as I’m coming from a 2004 Yaris T Sport even having a radio that works properly will be mind blowing! 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it, it feels quite a lot bigger than the previous model. And the interior has transformed to a great place to be in. Colour is Magnetic, happy with the choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrGinjaNinja Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Shes so pretty. I've had her for a couple of weeks now, keep forgetting to post here. It's a ST Line X 140 ps 5 door w/ B&O Play, Comfort Pack, Rear Camera and Rear Sensors on it. The B&O Speakers are ridiculously good on it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peat Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Picked up my Titanium in Magnetic today. Very happy to finally have it and get rid of my old banger!For anyone checking their VIN on ETIS who ordered a car without the keyfree system, do you have it in your list of minor features? I have both "With Keyless Start" (which I expected) and "Keyfree system" (which I did not expect) in the list on my Titanium, despite not going for the keyless entry option. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Just in case anyone has the same question in the future, my Fiesta turned out to not have keyless entry, just like I ordered. I'm kind of relieved with the current spate of keyless theft as I didn't want the faff of keeping keys somewhere RFID blocking.Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of an update on mine, was meant to be collecting last Friday but they didn’t get the car in time. Confirmed today, car arrived at the dealer yesterday, booked in to collect Friday 100%. Been an exciting wait but looks like just got to get through tomorrow! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the transit starts the when it leaves the factory, goes to Flushing, spends a couple of days there, transported by ferry into Dagenham, transported to your dealer. I think from gate release to Flushing, it’s a pretty quick process (mine seemed to be like 2 days), probably a week and a half to get it into dagenham and loaded for transport, then as long as your dealer keeps it for their stuff like the checks etc, I would say around 2-3 weeks from build until collection.

JoeJelly Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Unfortunately for me it seems my dealer has lost interest since it was registered / taxed probably to meet March sales targets, I've received the emails and finance paper work from Ford saying they hope I'm enjoying the car, but I still don't even have a date to collect it. I'm sure it wont be long as I think it reached the dealership on Sunday but its still a bit frustrating, plus I can't get hold of anyone.

Just keep ringing, you’re paying them money so they have to look after your order from start to finish. Reached dealer on Sunday? Didn’t think dealers or deliveries would be out and about on Easter Sunday. Either way, whenever it gets there, i’d expect to collect within no more than 5 days, closer to 3-4.

Iron Duke Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Had my ST Line X 140 for nearly two weeks now. Cannot wait to push the start button everyday! Road holding superb as you can really throw it into corners. Engine noise in the cabin is awesome as it sounds like a 3 cylinder V8! Build quality is superb and love all the electric gizmos, etc. Well pleased with the colour choice of Magnetic Grey as well. Had several new Fords but this is the best yet! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha, I know what you mean about the engine note, a surprisingly "big" sound for such a small engine, and very addictive. Looking forward to hearing what the ST sounds like when it finally appears!

As in no depth to the noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan140 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Just delivered! Looks really really nice in the flesh, the blue really pops in the lovely sunshine we've got in London today as well! Haven't been for a drive yet but initial impressions are the interior is generally really good quality, steering wheel is lovely, and seats are excellent. Will report more when I've stretched her legs this weekend! Oh and the pedals seem really well spaced for some heel/toe action (nice after my last car which required some extreme pivoting!). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG97 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Picked up my Blue ST-Line X earlier, got to say, it's a fantastic little car. Not really pushed the engine (for obvious reasons) yet but general ride is good (a little firm but not unbearable). The Adaptive Cruise is such a great thing to have, definitely worth the money. And the B&O Play sound... it's as good as I expected. Clear and crisp and no distortion at higher volume. One hell of a car overall so far! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took mine for a little spin earlier, gave the engine a little prod up to 3000rpm and it certainly makes a nice growl. Going for a long drive tomorrow, going to be hard to resist winding it out! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, it sure does! Same here, trying to stick to 3000rpm but when you feel the turbo starting to kick in, it's so hard to resit just flooring it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
