I have yet to see one example of a vehicle without orange peel on any new car in the last couple years.... I think manufacturers are cutting too many corners in regards to paint period. Fortunately, a good detail/wax/polish can help. But still...
I can't comment on the build quality as I don't have mine yet... And I haven't had a previous generation Fiesta... But it is an economy vehicle. I'm pretty happy with my last couple Fords quality wise.. But this will be my cheapest vehicle to date... soooo I am bracing for at least somewhat of a reduction in quality.
But every new vehicle I've experienced... There was little things here and there... Just gotta bug the dealer to have em remedied as best you can.
I do notice though , and I am no exception to this... It seems that forums like these seem to manifest this hyper vigilance in car buyers... that has us really looking for flaws a lot harder... (I think so anyway.)
Not saying your issues aren't valid. Definitely bring it up with the dealer sooner than later. The more you have your issues on record, the better for your sake.
Hope everything gets sorted out to your liking, so you can get back to enjoying the ST !
