Thanks fellers.
As well as being lofty I'm quite broad, 52" chest. My bros mk4 Mondieu feels a really tight squeeze, and I've actually got more shoulder room in the Fusion. Can't even close the door on a Ka unless I lean over the centre console, which isn't a terrible good driving position.
I quite enjoy the Fusion. It's A bit different, but it's dirt cheap to run, reliable, and most Fiesta turning parts bolt right up so it's cheap to fiddle with too. Win win.
