The previous owners and I have kept my own car rust free for 16 Pennsylvania winters, so I'm confident that I can do the same with her new car.
There's a local dealer selling a 2014 Fiesta hatchback with a manual, but it's been listed on CL for a couple of months. Same dealer got a 2011 with manual and it was sold before they had a chance to post decent pictures.
My daughter's Focus had the PowerShift. When it worked, it was fine. I could have lived with it. People bitched about the operation but it feels like a manual and responds like a manual.
The problem is that the clutch seals fail and fail often. Once the clutches get oiled up, the car shudders pulling away from a stop, and if the discs get hot enough, the transmission controller will immobilize the car. Ford agreed to fix the transmissions for the life of the vehicle but they'll only fix it once. There was a deadline on the buy back period.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
