Ford Fiesta 1.6 RS Turbo 3d (1991/H) Owner Review

Economy
Value
Depends what you pay for the car. Wouldn't spend more than £3k.
Costs
Only does 28mpg, needs regular servicing. Expensive when things go wrong.

Driving
Drives nicely, good driver position. Handles and grips well on the road.
Performance
Best aspect of the car. Very quick when the turbo kicks in, surprises a lot of cars.

Living with it
Reliability
Not that good, mainly due to their age. I've spent a lot on repair bills.
Image
Very good. People seem to respect the RS models.
Comfort
Pretty good, comes with Recaro seats although rear space isn't great.

Security and Service
Security
Poor as standard, you'll need to buy a decent alarm.
Service
Not bad, although I don't use the dealer much.
