There we go stupid computer.

Love the front end still think they should of updated the alloys for the new model though, went with every option possible which makes it a nice place to be.

I went with the new 1.5 TDCI diesel eco engine and already with mainly stop start town and the odd straight road driving I'm upto mid 50's

Kia cee'd I see where you're coming from, but it doesn't.

1.5 tdci is a good choice. I'm putting clutches on some of those currently. Quite a new engine.

Only thing I can think of is that it's been registered down here?

We purchased a car in a dealership on the border of London as we got a massive employee discount and the plate was LL, instead of the usual E* we usually get.

Maybe other counties get E reg plates too?

Our fiesta is also EA

Well gave the assisted park mode a try tonight and I'm sold on it! Very easy to use and picked a fairly tight parallel space and it put me in dead straight and tight to the kerb in 1 go. Very strange not steering and relying on the car but I'm impressed.

Also gave the assisted lane guidance ago and in both modes it's good, vibrates on alert only though the steering wheel and visual warnings on the dash screen. Then with assist it gently steers away from the line but also follows the line incase your cornering I it doesn't steer you out the corner. All in all very impressive usable technology.

Really doesn't do it for me, but then I've never been a fan of the facelift Fiesta either. Still, as long as you're happy enjoy!
