And you only had to buy one ticket because you were by yourself.

Basically the transmission would shift rough on cold starts and sometimes it wouldn't go into drive or reverse or park or the shifts would be very clunky. I know Ford issued a fix for it and it solved most peoples issues with the transmission but some still have issues and are getting new transmissions because of it. I have heard of maybe 2 or 3 transmissions having problems after Ford solved the issue in production so I think it is taken care of
The Fiesta's easy-revving and nice-sounding inline-4 engine is more than competitive in its class when it comes to power, but if you want the Super Fuel Economy package, you have to back the 1.6-liter with Ford's dual-clutch six-speed automated manual transmission. Just as with all these automated manuals, the Powershift is, in effect, a six-speed manual transmission with an automated clutch, meaning it can be driven just like the conventional automatic, and there is no clutch pedal. But because it doesn't have the torque converter that makes a conventional automatic's gearshifts so imperceptible, pulling away from a standstill and certain other transitional maneuvers can be, well, not entirely smooth.
The different way in which the Powershift transmission goes about its work definitely requires an acclimation period, but it certainly achieves the goal of shifting gears automatically. When the Fiesta was introduced, some drivers reported frustration with the transmission's reluctance to let the car creep forward at engine idle, while take-offs were less than seamless and the shift logic seemed a little off.
Ford engineers have worked on recalibrating the transmission's performance, and apparently it's a better match with the Fiesta's 1.6-liter engine than it initially proved to be with the larger 2.0-liter engine of the Ford Focus.
The Powershift isn't perfect, but its mechanical efficiency makes a crucial contribution in helping the Fiesta SFE achieve its high fuel economy rating. This transmission certainly wouldn't prevent us from purchasing an automatic-transmission Fiesta, and there are times when the Powershift's automated gearchanges are a delight.

You had to bring someone with you? What ever happened to the adventure of meeting someone on the flight? I'm not going to incriminate myself...that was back and college and pre-married life but I already have accusations of having kids in other countries...and NO, I've never been to the Ukraine Diana
