A rental Century was the best car that I've ever driven. Isn't it not Fiesta anymore (1970's)? And I thought Buick had manual transmissions already since my buddy had one. He forgets to put it in gear, when he lets off the clutch... Whheerrrhhh. Every time (80, then).
Not many might drive ~900 miles in a day with any cheap car, I love it in my Saturn. Then I hike 30 miles a day for fun, not even a peak involved.
The Fiesta continued life up to this day in other parts of the world (Europe for example). They will bring it back to the US in the same euro spec. The funny thing is that the euro Ford Focus for example has better and newer technology than the American spec; kind of ironic.
The main complaints about Buick is that they lost touch with a large part of the public and were seen as an old man's car. Reintroducing manuals with more peppy engines and a more stylish modern appearance is an effort to attract younger people again.
So, how about that snow
?
