Good choice by your Mum.

We preferred the Tonic colour on the Fiesta, which I would've liked on my BA Ghia.

Less trade Mitsubishi Mirage 2000 (Silver) 1.5L 5speed. With 76K standard CE Hatchback with a/c. (note no power steer) which they gave 5k trade (change over 14k)
Good choice. I hope it'll serve her well a very long time!
