Lauren and I turned Margarita keyfobs over to Barber Ford last Friday with a total mileage reading 19,459. While Lauren and Chris will make fun of me endlessly for writing a Fiesta related blog post, I'm going to do it anyway.
Charlie @ Barber did a quick damage inspection of Margarita before letting us leave. Aside from some curb rash and a rather prominent black scratch on the hood, Margarita made it through nearly 20,000 of service without one mechanical glitch. For 3 young socialites who have collectively killed 3 cars in only a few years of driving, I have to hand it to Ford for building a tough little car that took a beating. (I suppose "tough" doesn't accurately described a lime green supermini with white polka dots).
Margarita also popped each of our manual-transmission cherries. Sorry for those first few weeks, Margarita, as the ride must have been as rough for you as it was for our passengers.
