Re: MPG??

I drove 107 miles on mostly motorway and dual carriageway today, and in the interests of scientific research decided to test fuel consumption (!). Easy driving, top speed was 75 but on average quite a bit less. I filled up to the top before I started and refilled when I got back - got in 3.1 gals. T...

Re: Can anyone help with a winter tyres question...?

Just thought I'd close this one out by saying I sifted through all the jargon and was able to get the right winter tyres/wheels. Very pleased with the deal - £360 all in, for four winter tyres and four wheels so I hope I am well set up for driving this coming winter. Just hope that winter tyres are ...

Re: MPG??

Are you sure you are getting 41 mpg in an auto? I haven't checked precisely on my 2011 Mk 7 1.4 Auto because I don't have an OBC, but I don't think it is anything like that, (short local runs but not heavy stop-starting). It is generally accepted that the Auto is much heavier on fuel so if you are b...

Can anyone help with a winter tyres question...?

Hi all, I am 500 miles into my new Fiesta Mk 7 Edge (15" steel wheels) and as I mentioned in my Newbies introduction, I am interested in kitting myself out with a set of winter tyres. I am attracted by my mytyres.co.uk offer of complete steel wheels and tyres. Problem is that navigating through myty...

Re: Hello Everyone, Only 1 Week to New Car

When I asked the question, I guessed the answer would be Magenta or Squeeze - never yet seen a man driving the Fiesta in these colours. Enjoy!!

Re: Hello Everyone, Only 1 Week to New Car

I'm sure you will be mightily pleased with the new Fiesta. I collected mine nine days ago and after 245 miles it has exceeded my expectations - nice ride, feels very roomy, solidly built and looks very modern. So if you're excited now - you'll be ecstatic next week!! :D (What colour did you get - th...

Hi from Hampshire...

Hi all, new to to this Forum, but have owned many Fords over the years from a Ford Popular (!) through Sierras (including the brilliant 4 wheel drive model) and many Fiestas as second cars... Took delivery on Saturday of a silver five door Fiesta Edge Auto Mk7 - which again will be used as a second ...
