Small car. Have had it for almost a year. Has currently 211K miles on it, I have covered the last 25K or so. Mostly light city driving some highway thrown in as well.
Very little has gone wrong with the car itself. It is spartan but reliable. No A/C. Was quite cheap to buy too so I'm very, very happy with this purchase so far.
Considered swapping it for bigger one but unlikely now due to recession. Could swap it for a identical lower mileage Fiesta. I think this car is an ideal combination of economy and useability - cheap to buy, spares are cheap, taxes are cheap, hardly ever breaks down and fuel economy is great.
FE ratings are *not* EPA, but European standard figures converted to MPG (US). Couldn't find EPA figures anywhere on the net.

Planned Mods:
Possibly ECU remap to give more torque in the future?
