Ford Fiesta 1.8 D Finesse 5d (93) (1994/L) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
I bought this car when it was 3yrs old, and have been driving it for the last 5 yrs, without any major expenditure upon it.
Costs
I've got a local garage who can service for £20 + parts. This is a lot less than what the Ford Main Dealer charges.

On the road
Driving
Can cruise from London to Leeds in less than 2.5 hours. Decent acceleration round town too, if u know HOW to drive it.
Performance
I have seen 115+ MPH readout on the speedo.

Living with it
Reliability
If serviced regularly this car will not let you down.
Image
Inconspicuously blends in... Not as bad as some of its competitors.
Comfort
I once drove 350+ miles in a day, resulting in only a mild back pain!

Security and Service
Security
Despite its Alarm/Immobiliser it has had 2 NSF windows, a rear quarterlight and rear screen replaced in the 5 years of my ownership due to thieving scum.
Service
I used to service the car at a Ford Dealership, but I found a place that could offer myself better levels of service and at less than half the cost of Ford themselves.
