Back in 1983, the fuel economy of this car was classed as excellent, but not at today’s standard.

Driving
Great little car to drive. Very light, so steering is easy. Gearbox tends to be stiff.
Performance
But not at today’s standard.

Living with it
Reliability
Like many old Fords, starting on a damp cold morning was to say the least exciting. Using a manual choke was always a bit of a problem, but you get used to it.
Image
The car was black with red and blue stripes. It Looked like a real lad’s car (but then again I was 17).
Comfort
The Finesse was very luxurious (for it’s time). It even had a sun roof !
