MY FORD FIESTA IS A GOOD AUTOMOBILE. HOWEVER THERE IS A PROBLEMATIC DESIGN FLAW IN THE BRAKE LEVER TRAVEL AND SIZE AND PLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. I HAVE A SIZE 12 FOOT AND THERE IS INADEQUATE SPACE FOR PROPER CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ACCELERATOR. MANY TIMES MY FOOT MUST SWING COMPLETELY TO THE RIGHT AND HIT THE CENTER CONSOLE TO CLEAR THE BRAKE PEDAL IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC TO ACCELERATE THE CAR. ALSO THE BRAKE LEVER TO THE MASTER CYLINDER HAS WAY TOO MUCH TRAVEL FOR SUCH A SMALL AUTOMOBILE. WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PED…

WHEN WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THEY SAID THERE WOULD BE SOME ABNORMAL NOISES IN THE TRANSMISSION DURING BREAK IN (1000 MILES) AND IT SHOULD GO AWAY. THE NOISES DIDN'T START UNTIL AROUND 4500 MILES.
