Didn't read your write-up yet, but that's one ugly car - it may be just the ugly graphics that ruin it - but it's a bit too long IMHO.

Maybe it's just the graphics. It's about the same size as the Yaris ...

I agree that the Opel/Vauxhall Corsa would be really nice to have over here. Small is cool in my book.
Doesn't the Corsa have something like a 1.6L turbo or something? I assume the turbo is on the VXR version...

I can't wait to test one of these out. Now if only they'd bring the Focus ST to North America I'd be a happy man.
Great write up.

Thanks.
Like I said in the article, until you get up next to a car, it's hard to get a real idea of size. But trust me: The Fiesta is nothing near huge. FYI, my car is lowered on coilovers, yet the Fiesta's roofline is a about the same if not a bit lower.

I've been very interested in the new Fiesta since seeing drawings a few years ago. When GM brought the Opel/Vauxhall Astra over here, I thought they had a winner, but the lousy engine we wound up getting killed it for me. Hopefully Ford won't ruin the domestic version we will get over here. Thanks for passing along the article.
