It's only a toy for the summer. It only has to work when it's sunny!

If I get 3 summers out of it I'll be happy.

Mine is 21. I've had it for 8 years but have always had Peugeots. It's a great car.

Do you have "seasonal" cars?

[spectrum123]

It's a 206 CC, so only for sunny days. I have a newer car for the rest of the year (majority), or carrying more than two people, and if I require a boot to carry anything larger than a paperback book!

Hopefully it will have a lot of use in the weeks ahead..Don't knock it..it could bale you out if your other car plays up in Winter!

I hope so. I'm going to SORN in the autumn as I don't see the point in coughing up £360 a year when it's going to be sat around for 6 months.
If the other car breaks down it'll be going straight back to Ford and expecting them to provide me with their standard poverty spec Fiesta like they usually do when it's being serviced.

Nothing wrong with a Fiesta. My son has one. Standard cars can be very reliable. Less of the fancy stuff to go wrong.

It seems registering a car sucks no matter what country you live in...

Absolutely nothing wrong with a fiesta, I've had a couple myself. This one though was brand new. Standard items on a fiesta now are auto lights and wipers, lane assistance, air con, and large digital touch screen. The touch screen handles the cars settings, radio including DAB, CD player (which is now in the glove box and only takes one at a time). USB ports can be used to plug your music in or your phone where the screen converts to android auto or apple car play.

This large touch screen also houses the built in satnav... which it appears in 2022, is an option, one not chosen on this car. Ford replace the satnav with... a digital compass!!!
Really Ford, just include satnav you tight gits!

I just want a CD player and a radio. None of this 21st century stuff!

The CD player was an option on the fiesta I had, hence its now in the glove box! Not available I think on the new focus. A vanishing item now.
All's not lost though. If you have a laptop with a CD player just save them as files on the hard drive, copy the files on to a memory stick. Plug into one of the cars USB port and the albums will appear on the cars player.
