surprised no-one has mentioned the "folding" mirrors.

compared to what many other manufacturers have achieved, it's not a massive reduction in how much they stick out and - although I haven't tested it - I suspect it makes them more likely that any knock towards the front of the car will result in major damage rather than just dislocating them.

If you live somewhere with a lot of narrow country lanes (like Cornwall), with oncoming traffic, all of which assumes that you must be the same width as a Fiesta, then you might find yourself using them all the time! Rolling Eyes

The boot release button on the key fob!! Rolling Eyes

Whats the point, the only time its of any use is when the tailgate button packs up. It only opens the top tailgate onto the first catch so you still need to manually open the tailgate in the conventional old fashioned way

Now if they had fitted powered struts then it may have been useful

The features You all are mentioning are features, clients like You chose to buy, or made because of silly regulations of governments You chose to elect or reelect...

Stop this thread and You can stop being disapointed about things You bought, and thought it would change Your live.
If You want to improve, drink no alcohol, eat better, and pay attention

Bying a landmark and starting a thread about useless features is aswell useless as it is senseless.
Its negative, and changing nothing.
If You would be creative, ou started a thread about how to personalize or slightly modify this car, how YOU like it, and what it makes YOUR Disco. But You nit creative, rea YoU.???


Sent from the Leathercussion of my HSE, everything in there, but nothingsworking because its all kaputt and I'm not able to repair it or able to pay for the repair....its steaming hot, the windows don not open, motor schrott..., ACs not working, kaputt since ever, good news is: seat heating works fine, just the switch is gone, so its really hot, ON ALL rows...., the FBH -good news is working aswell.,,,

Just too bad its mid of june and we have a 30deg C in the shade.
It's hot
I have a gooood feeling
Hey, wait, why are the doors blocking now.
Hallo?

Haaallooo?


Hallo?
