Do you own a b-segment car already?

[Ataru]

If so, what do you own and why did you choose it?

How do you think the Fiesta will compare to what you already drive?

I own a 2007 Honda Fit Sport 5-Speed. I bought it because it was the best b-segment car on sale in the U.S. at the time.

I'm fully expecting the Fiesta to better it in almost every category, and plan on getting one the second they go on sale.

My brother owned a 2007 Honda Fit, blue... but... this is what happened to it...









So Ron, if you ever tango with a semi you know you'll survive!

Btw, your car looks sexay!

Yes, I drive a 2005 MINI Cooper S. I absolutely loved these cars since they made the new ones. The design, size, and quickness/handling all go together to make this the most fun car I've ever driven.





I'm very interested in the Fiesta in general, but probably won't be looking to actually buy one for a few years. I do expect it to be somewhat similar to the Cooper stock vs. stock. I still prefer the interior of the new MINI to the Fiesta based only on pictures, but that's no slight against the Fiesta! I really think the Fiesta seems to be light years ahead of the other competition like the Fit, Versa, and Yaris. So hopefully Ford has a big hit on its hands here.

Wow! Those crumple zones sure did there work. Glad your brother was ok

I have a 2002 MINI Cooper with about 112000 or so miles on it. I don't think I've had quite an interest in a Ford product since the Focus way back in 98-99.

By the Time the Fiesta comes out I should be ready for something else

I think that Mini's are the bomb, I originally wanted one before I got my Focus. But they were a little to expensive for my budget. Even the used ones where, and I wasn't going to settling for a regular Mini either. heheh, that didn't stop me from testing out a $28K Mini S Turbo when they first came out


My brother walked away from that without a scratch. I think a bruise from the seat belt, but that was it. He was very blessed when it happened.

You mean supercharged... hence Mini Cooper S

Well to get technical the S never stood for supercharged (even though the '02-'06 cars are). Any Cooper S (except the convertible) from '07 on is a turbo and an S. Officially, the "S" doesn't stand for anything. I think the story goes that back in the day John Cooper and Alec Issigonis couldn't agree on Special or Super/Sport so they just called it the Cooper S.
