Hello Aubergines...

Welcome to FordFiestaST.co.uk, hope you enjoy the site and that you will be able to get all the information you need on the car before you decide to go for it.

The "facelift", as we refer to it here, took place on 06 MY cars, so 05 MY are still the "pre-facelift" cars. As you already pointed out the differences on the outside of the car are mainly the headlights and rear lights clusters. The more noticeable difference is the inside and the dash which was completely redesigned. With the dash redesign came also many refinements which were not available on the pre-facelift cars. For details I'll leave it up to owners of the facelift cars to give their input as they are certainly in a better position than me to do that... I have a pre-fecelift car.

As for the average age on the site I'm not sure it's really ever been calculated but my bet is that it's arount 25.
