One of the young teachers at work just inherited her father in law's car after he handed in his licence . It's a 2013 Ford Fiesta . Has 78,000 kms on it because I asked her the other day . Without alarming her I asked her same time how she likes it . "Awesome " was the answer she game me and also told me it's returning about 6 litres per 100 kms even when her husband who is a beekeeper drives it .He's a bit of a hoon apparently according to her.

They picked it up about a month ago but she hasn't driven it until a couple of weeks ago because it had to go over the pits and be re-registered as the rego period had expired . By the sounds of it she has no issues at all and it is the auto . I kept my big mouth shut as not to worry her. Claire is no dummy so if it is the troublesome tranny and was playing up she'd be aware of it I'm guessing and it would have been found on the roadworthy . Beaut little car and in great nick ..
