    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Not bad for first time drivers to nail in to the ground for a few hundred quid.

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    If it goes wrong, you don't need paper money to fix it, coins are fine!

  • On the road

    Driving

    It's as fast as a dead lemming and you feel every bump.

    Performance

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Consumption good! Speed bad. Chance of death on a busy roundabout, high!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    To be fair, only the rain effects the Fiesta. It's done me well for the majority.
