I have now ordered a Ford Fiesta Sedan in Candy Blue from IAS, I must say I've been very impressed by their prompt replies to my emails, so far I would definitely recommend them. I am not leasing but will get the vehicle on finance so this will rebuild my credit.

Awesome! I'm generally an overall fan of Fords.

Congratulations! I am a fan of both IAS and Fords, though I think the Fiesta is a bit small to be sharing the road with American pick-ups and 4x4s, not to mention 18-wheelers.

I would imagine terrifying! lol

Have a friend visiting in a couple weeks who's hiring one. He's about 6"8'.

I've tried to explain this. He didn't really have any of it.

Should be a fun experience for him!

Hiring a tiny car is particularly daft when the cost/day increment for each notch up the vehicle size ladder is only $2-$3. There is no excuse for hiring anything smaller than a Fusion/Mondeo, Impala, Camry, Altima, etc.

much as it pains me, I have to admit that I agree with Pulaski on this.

When we moved here I was so looking forward to having a nippy little car after 11 years of driving a "mom-mobile" aka a ford galaxy..
I bought a honda fit (Jazz in the UK). Loved it. Until I had to go on a highway (concrete) with massive SUVs and in the rain it felt like a deathtrap. Me vs an SUV wasn't going to end well.

I now have a Prius V (estate) and this is great. I wouldn't go any smaller. If you can, get a focus. My OH had one and it was just perfect for a commute.

You know it makes sense!

My other half drives a Nissan versa and we've both agreed thats the smallest we would go.

When we go places I usually drive and so take the Ford fusion full size sedan.

The versa does get about 10 more mpg, but I prefer a bigger car.

Once we get set up in the house and have a driveway big enough I think I'll look into also getting a truck.

That's a shame Roundtree Ford would have sorted you out

Currently driving around in a chevy sonic (turbo) rental haha....I actually really like it
I still agree though, as much as I like it I will be glad when we have a Ford F150 again.

Just got a new Mazda 3 Hatchback. Silver
Been sitting in the garage for two weeks though while I'm still using up the old Civic.

We've ordered from IAS too following advice from on here. Waiting for our delivery of a Ford Explorer in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to not having to catch an Uber to the supermarket!

I think it may have been one of Pulaski's persausive posts that got me making contact with International Auto Source.
We've made the decision to move to Philadelphia for 3 years via my husbands employer - L1 intra-company transfer. I think its about a month ago now the immagration lawyers asked for our passport details. we really hoping to make the move for September.

I'm hoping we can get a Land Rover Discovery Sport - flexible 7 seats, not too big, not too small, room for two dogs in the back...

I used them back in 2003 and they were awesome - bought a 2003 Ford Focus (Chicagoland) and they fully delivered.
