The 3rd headrest comes with the Reflex pack. Should be standard equipment IMO, but again an example of Ford's penny pinching.

Yup gareths right and it isnt something you can have done afterwards easily. you cant just buy a third head rest as the rear seat doesnt have the holes in it if you havent got the reflex pack. imo the reflex pack should be standard as well, but thats another story. although, i was watching a repeat of top gear on uktv people and they said that the fiesta is a good car to have a crash in. they showed the damage of a 40mph impact into a collapsable concrete wall. with the reflex pack added to that it must make it even safer.

Agreed with you there mate. My Girlfriends best made had a performance blue Fiesta ST had it a month and rolled it 4 times. The car saved her life because of it being modern and to the way it was built but on other hand none of the airbags went off

Airbags only go off on impact. The airbags would kill you if they went off on a roll so they don't deploy.
Reflex pack should be standard I agree, though not having it doesn't seem to affect sales figures so they save more money by making you pay extra for it.

Yeah I've got the Reflex Pack so get the 3rd headrest. Although I never go in the back I think it looks better with 3!!

It was only introduced recently mate as part of the Reflex pack. All fiesta's prior to this had 3 rear headrests i personally think its down to ford saving a few pounds
