^^ This. Mum and Dad sold their agricultural Mazda 3 for a 2014 Fiesta and they're just about to put it in for its second transmission. I drove it a few months ago after the new transmission had been installed and it was just woeful - it held onto 3rd up to 90 kmph. At least now there's no questions asked by the dealership.
