I drove a Fiesta for a few months for a few months as a rental before I got my current car. It was an unmitigated piece of crap. I’ve never hated a car that much. So yeah, good riddance.
Very much a car built to a price point to serve a purpose. I once drove a Cross that was much the same. Kitted out to look sporty, had the pulling power of an asthmatic snail. Absolute shit.
But cheap enough for most people to be able to use one to get to the supermarket.

I think it used to be that way. I just configured one on the ford website and the recommended price is roughly 30k EUR. I guess the cheap car market is no more. I remember buying one in early 2000s for a bit over 10 k.
Edit: of course, they’re not directly comparable, the current model has way more features, but it is certainly not what I’d consider cheap.
