Fiesta ST Age Demographics

[emc2]

I'm 58 and love my FiST. I just love the feel of the Recaro seats and the nimble go kart like handling. Plus it's good on gas. What's not to like?
However, here's a comment I received from a 63 year old. Would love to hear your comments on this!

"It’s a toy car. Not a grown up car. Look like an idiot to be my age driving that, not to mention completely useless in terms of passenger room, trunk space, or even comfort."

I'm 76 coming up for my 77th and love this car! Sounds as though that guy would look and sound like an idiot whichever car he drove! Sounds as though he's talking through his other orifice!

I drive cars that I like, I've never limited myself to cars that might be considered appropriate for a certain age. This guy sounds like an idiot himself, he doesn't know what he's talking about. The car has plenty of room for me and I'm 6 ft tall, there's quite a bit of room in the hatch especially with the rear seat backs folded down, and I find the Recaro seats to be some of the most comfortable that I have had in a car.
Ironically, I thought it was kind of a toy car when I first heard about it but I also found it intriguing. I educated myself about it, and the more I found out, the more I liked it. A mechanic who I greatly respect was very enthusiastic about the car.The final selling point was that all of the traditional car magazines that I had been reading all my life were raving over it. So I bought it 8 years ago even though I'm not young, and have no regrets, it's one of my favorite cars I have ever had.

Totally agree. I'm 6'2" and have to move the seat forwards about 4" to make the driving position more comfortable. So much space in that car which is why I'll never sell! It's way too much fun!
