Ford Fiesta 1.25 Freestyle 3d (2002/02) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
This is a very frugal little motor car. It held a decent bit of value and it never let me down once in two and a half years. I even had to do runs up and down the A1 from the North of England to the South.
Costs
Very cheap on petrol. I changed two tyres and had a major service at 30k miles. Still a cheap little car.

Driving
For a small hatchback, you have to be realistic. This car was never going to be a Lotus Elise - but it wasn't at all bad by any means.
Performance
Again, not a Lotus or Aston Martin, but it could handle frequently long motorway journeys.

Living with it
Reliability
Never, ever, let me down. Superb. I got quite attached to it.
Image
It was my first car and I didn't have bags of money, but with the front fogs and the metallic paint, plus the small spoiler and the standard alloy-wheels - it was a smart little car.
Comfort
Don't expect to have plush leather, but for the money - supportive seats, a good driving position, and good ergonomics. A CD player and electric windows too.

Security and Service
Security
This car has a flashing red light on the dash which looks like an alarm (but there isn't one!). Central locking. Its never been stolen though.
Service
Main dealers were good. The car itself was excellent.
