Canadian spec

Found this last night on the 2014 Fiesta ecoboost 1.0L (seems to be Canadian spec., since it seems to be a Canadian site): Buyer's Guide: 2014 Ford Fiesta - Autos.ca | Page 2

Note the 6 speed auto as well as the five speed manual. I wish they'd build it with a six speed manual.

Yeah, that's the better strategy in terms of cash/depreciation too, but the car sounds cool, and I'd be willing to bet that my Civic is louder. I think I'll feel as if the reviewer was reaching when he complained about "noise" once I can get behind the wheel. (But I'm not really in the market for a car, anyway.)

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
