I had the front wheel bearings go after two weeks!!!! body mouldings lifting after 48 hours!!! paint fading! It went back 7 times for the paint to be done alone, also it ended up having 4 sets of mouldings coz they kept on peeling off, new O/S front wheel (defective), new O/S door (paint probs)but that wasn't the panel that had to be painted 7 times tho!!
It spent 7 weeks in Fords after me owning it for two weeks, that was just for starters. I work with a guy who did'nt take my advice about them, he picked his one up on the 1st of April, had it 1 week, took it back to be sorted, got it back 3 weeks ago I'm not kidding!!!

Got mine earlier this year, haven't looked back since.

Back could do with a bit more room but its a hot hatch, I wasnt expecting it.
The boot is a good size though for the size of the car.

Modding market has started to catch up with the Fiesta ST now as well, lots of mods are now available.

True, but Bentley might actually take an interest in it if it wasn't right!! hopefully you wouldn't need to take it back 12 times

Don't get me wrong, thinking that i'm slagging the Fez off coz i'm not as i said it's a great car but i just think Fords could have put a bit more efffort into making sure the cars were right before they leave the dealership!! The Director of the dealership quite openly told me that 7 out of 10 of the cars that go out have defects on them but they still let them go and just hope that people don't notice them. And he said and i quote "9 out of 10 people don't ever notice the defects, we were just unlucky that you picked up on all of the faults" mmmm choice comment to make to a customer!
