Economy
Value
Not the cheapest supermini, expect to pay slightly more then rivals, but for quality.
Costs
Servicing, and running costs were cheap. Parts not too bad, don't buy official Ford unless you have to!

On the road
Driving
Lovely to drive, smooth, quite nippy car. Great for the town.
Performance
Nippy considering its engine size. Comparable to 1.4 Corsa's and Clios.

Living with it
Reliability
A common MK4 Fiesta error here!: When cold engine can cut out whilst moving! You dont notice until the steering is heavy! Very dangerous fault. Other then that, fine.
Image
Good looking, the light formation makes it look sleepy. Bodycoloured bumpers really make a difference.
Comfort
Front seats are comfy, rear one is basic and lacking any attempt at being comfortable.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser and central locking work effectively, could of done with a remote.
