Everybody seems to like it, they cant understand why i want to drive something so old but then cant believe how quick it is.

Did you get a good deal and why?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Right car at the right price

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Awesome, a little bumpy at times but cant help but smile everytime i use it. I love the performance and have been known to bait some so called "fast cars" into finding out that their pride and joy isn't as fast as my little 18 year old Fiesta. I use the car as much as possible and most the year use it for my 30 mile round trip to work and if driven properly "within the law" i get very good mpg.

What's it like to park?

Small car easy to park but steering can feel heavy at times.

Have you had any problems with the car?

None

What's most practical about your car?

It keeps you dry when it rains

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The car has been build to a good spec, full engine rebuild, new bigger hybrid t3 turbo, bigger injectors and uprated chip.
