How's the acceleration with the 1.4? I considered it but didn't think it'd be powerful enough on the bottom end. I have noticed the shifting isn't quite what I expected, kinda sloppy and rough on the 2nd gear downshift, but I've never driven a 6spd auto before or a diesel. Although after I went to the dealer it seems to be a bit better.. Could just be imagining things lol

At your price tag though, I would have went for a more spirited car, like the focus ST :P Even though the 32 highway MPG isn't close to your 46MPG!
Ford? Meh, no thanks. You never pay sticker at the end of the year lol they were actually very close to Edmunds fair price.
