Yeah the Fiesta is a cool little car, at least in the higher trim levels anyway.

Got them on the lookout for a Cruze if one happens to come available while I'm renting, but I might go back and swap for the Fiesta. They had a Fiat 500 too, but I'd already test driven one of those (in S trim) and didn't care too much for it.

Drove a 07 CLK63 AMG. Holy shit is that a nice car. This one did have an effects kit which I normally don't care for, but it looked stunning as well. If MBZ brought that car back in a couple of years...

The top of the hood should be at or even below the level of the side view mirrors.  As it is it looks like a mini semi truck.  I can't believe the new safety regulations are forcing them to make it that big. 

Why is a high hood safer for pedestrians?

I do wonder... maybe to prevent those who get hit from being thrown onto the windshield or over the car entirely??? Something about center of gravity is all I can remember...

Personally, a higher body wouldn't be terrible, so long as the performance and handling isn't screwed in the process.

I think the white Festiva above looks infinitely better.  Just talking about basic design lines, it's a better design.  Maybe not by choice (regulations) but the lines flow together cohesively.  The new Fiesta is harsh.  And I personally prefer to see the road over the dashboard.  ;)

Crumple space for compression before your skull slams into the engine.  Buy mid engine then it wont matter.

I think Vulva has a new pedestrian windshield air bag ffs. 

Too big you say?  How about a Focus instead?




I would kill myself having to look at the centerstack of that Fiesta everyday. 



Not a fan of Ford putting Aston big mouth Bass grills on everything either.  I was really looking at getting into the Ford family w/ a Raptor but they seem have to slid back to their old habits.
