I replaced my aging Fiesta with a nearly new 1.4 Zetec model recently. It was registered in March on an 09 plate and is the new shape model.

I have a query though. Does anyone know whether the heated rear screen that comes on automatically on cold mornings and nights is supposed to do so ? It seems to come on for about 10 minutes without any operator intervention ! I can't find any mention of it in the manual.

Looks like it with the quickclear glass (if you look closely you should see a lot of very fine metal elements in the glass :)

OR

Is the rear screen set to on? It might just be that it's set on and auto turns off after 10 minutes but resets when the car is turned off ;)

I thought they were Lada jokes...

Why does it have a sunroof?
So you know where the leak is coming from.

Why does a Lada have a sunroof and twin exhausts?
So you can use if as a wheel barrow.

How do you double the value of a Lada/Skoda/other poor car make?
Option 1 - put petrol in it.
Option 2 - leave a packet of polo's on the dashboard.

Is the fezza the new mk7 shape? Or still the old mk6?

When my car broke down, I got a stonking new mk7 fezza with 300 miles on the clock. In some ways it was a lot better than my old mk4 fezza. Unfortunately, in some ways it was still reminiscent of the mk4. Still fairly nippy round down. I would have bought one if I were looking for a new, small hatchback.

I've had Mk I, II and III Fiestas, and the most fun was the II.

I completed my Driving test in a MKVI fiesta and swore I would never set foot in one again. Well...until the MkVII came out, now I'm going to buy one next year.

It's the new fiesta.

Yes..... I have the quick clear front sacreen too but this is the rear one. The thing isn't switched on by me but is definately coming on and demisting. I wonder whether it's a temperature related thing.... ie, less than 6 degrees the thing automatically comes on for 10 mins. I really don't know.
