Subcompact economy car to be replaced by EV's

https://www.foxnews.com/auto/ford-fiesta-discontinued-years

It was the little car that could.

The Ford Fiesta will end a 47-year production run next June, the automaker has confirmed.

Ford has built over 16 million of the subcompact cars over seven generations, and it remains the all-time best-selling vehicle in the United Kingdom.

The most common issue was that SYNC would stop recognizing my voice.  Then it would only stream calls from the phone but not music.  Fuse pull and replace would fix it in less than five minutes.  Last time I tried it SYNC stopped working for over a day afterward then suddenly kicked on and worked again.   This time it hasn't. 

As of now when I press the media button it activates for a second or two but crashes out immediately. 

SO other than the fuse pull and the battery disconnect trick.  Both of which I have tried more than once.... is there anything else I can do?   My ford dealer wants $150 just to look at it.

The extra room in the garage was phenomenal with car inside. But between that and the Focus I saw almost identical cars with maybe a bit more cargo room in Focus. Thought they were grafted, a longer rear was added and that was it (also told 2 completely different ideas).

So why would there be 2 vehicle choices so mirror imaged? Seems like a big production expense not to mention the available versions; the Focus was more expensive.

It was one of our all-time favorite cars, and at least part of the inspiration for ordering our new Mustang with a stick shift.

Thanks for your input on the last transmission problem my wife's Fiesta transmission. Ford covered the 2nd rebuild on her transmission at 61,000 miles becuase it spit out the codes referenced in the letter offered with the warranty to 125,000 miles. The 21,000 mile rebuild was covered under standard powertrain warranty. However, it now has 85,000 miles and the shudder of doom (as I've taken to calling it) is back - it feels just like it did the last two times but has not gotten to the point where it is as bad as before - only occasionally on the 1-2 shift and not every time. My natural response is to get the zone rep name and number, but realistically I know that really will not go anywhere.

Needless to say, if my wife was not a Ford Fan she would never consider one again. Does anyone think we can get the dealership to give us a fair trade in on something else (and yes - I have been barking up the "you should learn to drive stick and never have the problem again tree" and she might just be there)?

However, this weekend's feature is a sharp Red Fiesta ST. Too many great comments to mention...one of my favorites is : "The Fiesta ST's taut modernist bod, bandy proportions and unsmiling, on task visage help it avoid the box office poison of cuteness. Think of it as a hot hatch Aston Martin!"

He went on with this about the performance: "Pin the throttle, grab a gear and the ST takes off like a hooked trout...!" Neil goes on : "You can dive into a tight 35 MPH curve...breath off the the gas gently and the car will come around with a sweet, catchable trailing throttle oversteer...when pointed in the right direction, lay on the coal. The Fiesta ST claws away like a cat escaping a water pistol!"

(I'm quoting directly from the article)

I'm assuming from his many metaphors he kind of liked the new 2014 Ford Fiesta ST.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!
