My sister owns a light blue mazda 2 and she very happy with it. she paid 7,500 pounds and thinks it's great, good value, good on petrol. She hasn't said all that much about. accept it comes in nice colours and she enjoys driving it and can see out very well in tight parking spots. The fiesta she wasn't keen on. To hard to see out of and for parking in tight Euro streets it also cost a lot more. I more a Fiesta man myself if I has too choose between the two. The thing I worry about will these Fords. The Focus and Fiesta will they be reliable considering that they built here in NA. That hasn't bowed well for ford in the past. The Fusion being the "acception" to the rule! Because it will killed Ford chances of dominating the domestic market so the Fiesta better be good.
