Ford Fiesta 1.25 Zetec 3d (1998/R) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Parents bought this new, but I think this is now coming in to bargain territory
Costs
Cheap parts, and a low insurance group for such a nippy wee car
-
On the road
Driving
A lot of grip and fairly responsive to input
Performance
Engine has good torque, but does not rev high, and gearchange is slow (engine revs do not drop quick enough, meaning the available power is wasted, unless you dont care about your clutch)
-
Living with it
Reliability
Burning a little oil now
Comfort
A little cramped in the back
-
