Hot? What am I missing?
Do we know the owner didnt just buy the one with the most bling?
Seems its available with MT, so assuming that's the only option, the owner must know something about what theyre doing...
Stop looking at numbers and drive one?
Ive driven the Fiesta as a long-distance rental car. I wanted to like it... i like the Focus (at least until they start being made in China). But there's no front legroom.
Its better than a Hyundai Accent (just drove one of those around western PA about 100 miles), but its no focus. Granted, accent has better legroom.
Maybe ST is MUCH better, but its still small.
It feels huge inside to me, but I'm only 5'9". I also think Geo Metros and Miatas are plentt roomy.

Yes no complaint on headroom, especially if there's no sunroof (I'm 6'4-5)
The narrowness of the driver legroom due to center pillar design is what got me.
I'm not afraid of small cars. My daily driver was an E30 BMW for over a decade.
I just got out of a Hyundai Accent rental. Enormous legroom, great design for tall people in a small car. Too. As it was about the worst car I've driven in recent memory.
