Sticks to the road well, nice steering and responsive.

Excelent for a 1.25, nippy around town and on motorway. Much quicker that my previous crappy 1.4 Escort.

Living with it
Reliability
Always starts first time. Had new steering rack when two months old! Manufacturing fault apparently! Also just had new passenger door latch which was rattling!
Image
Looks quite sporty inside and out, but it's a Festa!
Comfort
Comfortable for me, but maybe not for taller drivers, not much room in the back, good seats and all equipment is in easy reach.
-
Security and Service
Security
Standard immobiliser, shielded locks. Maybe could do with alarm.
Service
Good, but didn't finish the job properly when fitting new steering rack, went back three times with it untill it was put right.
