Car isn't going anywhere. Just kinda over doing the turbo aspect of it and get back to enjoying driving it. Plus a motorcycle rebuild has taken over the priority list
With current sales, can you blame them? The new car seems to have more features than the old one which would make it even harder to sell here at the price needed to move any volume. So basically you either make money per unit and not sell enough to justify the fixed costs, or you move the volume to nearly cover the fixed costs but then lose money per unit.
People in the US market just won't pay for cars in this segment (who still makes a B-car?)
It makes complete sense why they are discontinuing. It just seems like yesterday we were on here anticipating the arrival of the original fiesta and then the fiesta ST and now they're coming to an end.
Sucks to hear but makes sense I guess. It's not as rare as my svt but I'm glad I have something else that's now going to be a "limited edition" sort of
To me it was a dog but the gas mileage was nice. I had one for a week once and my sister had a 2 yr lease on one. I didn't like how they made the Explorer fwd. That's personal preference though. I had an 03 Explorer and I loved that thing despite the garbage trans it had
Yeah, the explorer is 3.5L and it's really not as beefy as I thought it would be. It's a great ride though, for sure.
I really thought I'd want to get a bigger car for myself at this point, but, I love the sonic. I can't believe the 1.0L fiesta is only rated for 41 highway. the avg for fiesta is 35 and I average 33 in the sonic and I am sure sonic is way more peppy.
I'll probably keep sonic for a long time, the mileage is nice for my commute. I have a 32 mile commute, about 35ish minutes both ways
I will say though, the nice thing about the edge is that it's slightly bigger for about the same gas mileage.
