Ford Fiesta 1.25 Flight 3d (1997/P) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Can be bought for peanuts as there are so many to choose from!
Costs
£25 to fill it up. I do regular 3 hour journeys on the motorway and it costs about £10 for 300 miles, it's amazing! Everything is working, no new parts needed yet.

On the road
Driving
Wow. This is my first car, as I am 17 and it's incredible. Had it for 14 weeks and it handles amazingly. No understeer unless REALLY pushed.
Performance
Amazing for a small car. Very little body roll with poised, controlled cornering ability. Only understeers in the wet.

Living with it
Reliability
Superb. Not a thing wrong with it in all of the 4,600 miles I've done in it since i got it. No new parts as yet.

It's a Fiesta! It's not going to turn heads but it's a discreet, middle of the road, fantastic little car that just does its job.
Comfort
Ride is exceptional. As I have said I do regular 300 mile journeys and the car is fantastic on the motorway (It's only a 1.25!) Seats are great. Boot swallows all my luggage when needed.
