Ford Fiesta mk6

TheNightmareTheNightmare Posts: 2,273 Boards Champion
A girl had a Fiesta Mk6 and said it drives like a tin can on wheels, and she felt embarrassed and too old to drive one. I’m a similar age and drive a Fiesta Mk6. I’m not trying to sound sensitive, but it got to me. It shouldn’t really get to me, but it did a bit. At first, I thought she just meant the three-door model, as hers was a three-door, or maybe just modified Fiesta Mk6s, but I think she meant all Fiestas. I’m not sure if I like modified cars in general, but I think she meant all Fiestas. It doesn’t get to me when someone says they don’t like Ford or they don’t like Fiestas, but hearing someone say they felt embarrassed to drive one really got to me a bit. I think they weren't trying to be snobbish towards people who drive old cars but still.

I guess from talking about this here it might just be to vent about it, it's minor but I just wanted to talk about it.

    Your feelings are completely valid and definitely doesn't sound sensitive, it isn't very nice to hear somebody say something like that, even though their intentions may not have been to hurt you. I hope venting on here has helped :heart:

    like a tin can on wheels

    Aren’t all cars just tin cans on wheels 😆

    Your feeling here are valid, sure, I’d feel hurt if someone insulted or run down what I liked and worked hard for.

    I guess everyone has different preferences and what one person might find terrible another person might find amazing.

    I quite like fiestas, they’re decent little runners.

    Hope you’re feeling okay about it now 😊
