Ford Fiesta 1.1 Bonus 3d (1992/J) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Very good. Would make a good first car (although insurance on a male is through the roof).
Costs
Was better than my previous Mk 2, but I am still constantly down the petrol station.
-
On the road
Driving
It feels very comfortable although I wouldn't take corners too fast, as it has a tendancy to roll round corners.
Performance
I love driving this car, but mine has been modified from standard. Even in standard form it still produces the goods up to 70mph (after that it will rattle and feel as though the chasis will collapse).
-
Living with it
Reliability
Haven't had any major problems with the car.
Image
Standard it looks poor, but with so many XR2i and Si available in scrap yards, improving the looks isn't a problem.
Comfort
Drivers seat is rock hard, although according to my mate the back seat is very comfortable (Don't ask me?)

Security and Service
Security
Unfortunatley I am constantly checking out my window to make sure it hasn't been nicked, so if you get one make sure you buy an Alarm or Immobiliser, for peace of mind.
Service
The only thing I have ever used ford for is for a new key to be cut.
