had the chance to test drive 1.4 fiesta manual at ford federal highway showroom. road was empty around those industrial area so i manage to rev the car to 6k rpm. Shift @ high rpm and manage to blip the throttle to enter few junction and 1 roundabout. NHV is superb and handling is great for a rear torsion suspension. HP interest going @ 2.8 for 5 yr installment. need to adjust the feeling of left hand signal knob. But i would be sold if they have a 1.6 ti-vct MANUAL sport specs
