I bought one but I don't use it everyday, you just have to be picky in what you buy as there are plenty of dogs, and hope the squeaks and rattles don't send you insane

Must be some ropey ones about. Mines only done 59k so that's probably why everything is still so tight and non rattly for it's age.

It's fitted with an LSD, the Fiesta isn't.
