Default buying new 2017 Fiesta trend

Hi Guys,

Any issues to be aware of with these cars?

I know of the transmission issues with the Feista/focus up to the 2013 and the court cases going forward.

Let me know.

Would avoid the auto fiesta at all costs. It's not just up to 2013 models that have issues.

As stated above,avoid the dual clutch(powershift) automatic at all costs.Two people at my work own a late model ford focus with the same automatic transmission,and both have had issues with the dry clutches burning out at relatively low km,and one of them(The smarter one)has just been given a full refund by Ford after having the transmission clutches burn out 4 times in 60000km.

My oldest daughter bought a 2016 Fiesta ST with 6 speed manual. Had no problems so far. Biggest danger is to her licence...

I further that, avoid auto, it's proven itself a dud. Manual is fun, lovely to use too. Or get a Kia Rio
