I noticed this in the interior shot in the WQ Fiesta brochure, but didn't notice it in the specs. It's a nice feature, although I'd love instantaneous and average fuel consumption.

AWESOME! SO wait, did you get it for free? like, are they taking yours and giving you a replacement for all the troubles?

Sounds good to me!

Scareybear · 12-01-2006, 11:19 PM

Great news, hope it's a better experience this time

Fez WQ · 13-01-2006, 12:27 AM

Yes its a replacement by Ford. and it is a 5 Door LX, And I cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Teki04 · 13-01-2006, 12:36 AM

Awesome! Whyd you go with another 5 door though? lol

Fez WQ · 13-01-2006, 12:39 AM

Was just over at local ford dealer picking some stuff up. had a facelift 5dr lx sitting out side. all I can say is ewwwwwww. The bump on the headlights is frigging huge. About the only good thing from the facelift is anyone wanting ST bump strips wont need to order them from UK. And maybe the interior.

Lagom · 16-01-2006, 08:43 PM

Personally, I reckon the facelift has really freshened the car, especially up front.

But I'd prefer that they not make huge holes in the rear bumper to put lights in the way they have with the WQ.

MeestaNob! · 17-01-2006, 06:05 PM

I think the update looks much better personally. Far more character.

AN ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN ON TV WOULD BE GOOD.

Interior looks great, Front looks meaner. I stand by that. The facelift is needed in the wake of the getz and mazda 2 both getting facelifts, oh and the new Korean-a Barina lol

FlaminFiesta · 18-01-2006, 12:02 PM

hmm u see the ones with the WOLF body kit in the UK they are HOT HOT HOT!!

Fez WQ · 06-02-2006, 11:55 PM

After much time my car is almost here , I just have to decide on the colour. I just noticed all LXs have the volume controll on sterring , and a few other nifty things . i am thinkung of Jeans Blue or silver for the colour what do ya think!!!?

Bit of a Gimick if you ask me, must of been such an effort for the germans to reach over 30 cm to turn Ze volume nob. Just a distraction if you ask me.

Could this be because you do not have one?! Trust me, it works VERY well, especially for the volume

Danny · 08-02-2006, 03:29 AM

I've been advised it was a lucky bonus for the first few WQ LX owners - not to spec.

Teki04 · 08-02-2006, 10:23 AM

In that case Ford might do it like the height-adjustable seat belts, which are no longer available

rofl.....

why is it that all men know this, have seen this but we all still go and get married and in the process obtain ourselves a monther in law......

maybe males are inherently stupid???

mitch_lx · 08-02-2006, 10:57 AM

trust me im not stupid :P jsut doesnt make sense why they make a few buttons on the steering wheel when all you have to do is reach 30 cm to the headunit?!

I mean, fair enough i dont have it, but i duno if id even use it if i did :P

Fez WQ · 08-02-2006, 11:14 AM

Trust me, You would. Without a doubt. You dont even need to take your hand off the wheel. Thats the main difference
