Ford Fiesta 1.1 Classic 3d (1996/N) Owner Review

Economy
Value
Bought from a dealer - slightly over-priced, but was in good condition.
Costs
Very cost-effective, but high insurance grouping.

On the road
Driving
Nothing special. Makes lots of little noises all the time. Awful without PAS, especially when moving slowly. Extremely poor ride.
Performance
1.1 is very sluggish to get away, but can really go if you put your foot down.

Living with it
Reliability
Starts 1st time, every time. Only broke down once-dead battery.
Image
Fun for blokes and girls, but starting to look old.
Comfort
Seats are like armchairs - very comfortable over-all. Heater is hot even on 1st setting!

Security and Service
Security
Dreadful - no immobiliser, central locking or alarm!
Service
Really good - very helpful.
