I've had mine for five years with ~14,500 miles on the little beast since I ordered it new; it's my mostly weekend ride. (This is TX - my other vehicle's a truck - lol). No plans to ever sell the FiST - more smiles per mile than just about anything else. I've garaged her since day one and she's in perfect shape. I brought my FiST to the local dealer last week concerning a recall notice I got from Ford regarding faulty door latches replacement - the service guy raved on how it still looked new inside and out - he was a big fan of the car. I had to leave it there a few days as the parts they thought were in stock weren't - threw in a free wash for my trouble. If you get the recall notice make sure the dealer actually has the parts first. (I did just that, but they lied...) As I still had my truck and they drove me home and picked me up, it was no big deal.
