Hey, the 1.6 is the Big Block

My daughter has the 1.3 litre version. I bought it for her for her 17th birthday (legal driving age here)

It seats 4, gets 45 mpg and does 0-60 in about 12 seconds so it's an ideal first car.
Also, check out the plastic wheelarch deal which is ideal for learning to drive and park

I wouldn't want to be sitting in either one of them when it got hit by anything substantial, like even a parking stop, much less another vehicle! That goes for US highways at least.

Won't be long before somebody "stretches" one and calls it a limo...

The "o t h e r" as in other, silver, other, is a Ford KA, unless the badge on the car is incorrect...

F150Euro is correct, the one I posted is the Fiesta.

FWIW Patrick, that Fiesta is bigger than the US spec Focus aka, it's bigger than my car. It also (and don't quote me on it) has a 5-star or whatever Europe rates their cars, ala it has amazing crash test ratings.

I agree with you, I wouldn't be caught dead in it...literally.

I guess I can't read. I SAID the OTHER one, as in the silver one. The one posted by Englishadam that says it is a Ford Ka.

Silly me! I THOUGHT Ford Ka reads as Ford Ka!

No

Hey, it's nearly 8 years old and all I did was to match the money she saved working part time from the age of 13 to 17.
I bought the car and she used her money (the same amount) to insure it for the first year, pay the road tax and all her driving lessons.

The next one along isn't saving at all. Guess she'll be walking or on public transport

Easy n00b. We all make mistakes.

I was just making a point that the Fiesta is larger than my Focus.

It wasn't even directed towards you especially, I just wish people would read a post enough to understand it before they react and respond to something that wasn't even written in the original post...
