Hi Peeps, another newbie here. Thanks to jam_rs for inviting me.
I'm Rob, had my 1.6 fiesta titanium just over a week now, really like the car all bar a couple of annoyances, that include a problem using shuffle on the usb stick and an annoying rattle from the boot area (from what i have seen both pretty common).
Still getting used to the power drop from my previous car but that was to be expected.
Thought i would introduce myself and say hi...

Cheers guys,
Nothing great, only a zafira but it was the sri150 cdti, had bags of torque, on paper it isn't much quicker but seemed to accelerate so much quicker

Hi Rob,
seems that the Flash drive reading facility is a source of quite a few problems.
hope we both get it sorted out!

@ telwick, tbh it wasn't a bad motor apart from it ate tyres and the dpf started playing up, when i bought it i needed a big car but my circumstances have changed now so wanted something smaller and more fun
@Marc, yeah theres a fair bit about it on another forum, what problems have you had with it? Everyone seems to be getting different problems.

I think I;ll get the 1.6 tdi next time for the extra torque, and lazy drive
