Lovely car

I've had my Fiesta since new in 2006, it is now showing nearly 155000 miles and I love it, while it has needed some money spending in the last couple of years it's all been wear and tear, shock absorbers, brakes etc. I've always felt it could do with a 6th forward gear as engine revs are higher than I would like at 70mph, and it can find steep hills hard work. Parts prices are reasonable. Fuel economy is ok, on a decent run I can get 50mpg out of it, but not as good as claimed around town. Lovely to drive. Reliability wise has been good, the only incident that was the car's fault was the immobiliser cutting in when it was about 15 months old resulting in recovery home, it's also had a couple of broken road springs over the years and the battery started playing up about a couple of years ago.
