Ford Fiesta 1.3 Finesse 3d (2000/W) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Good, due to 2 years free insurance from new. Central locking would have been nice and so would ABS. Excellent first car for anyone.
Costs
Insurance not bad at all. 300 ish miles out of 42 litres of petrol, not bad.
-
On the road
Driving
Excellent handling and ride quality.
Performance
1.3 engine does not have enough power to get you out of danger in certain circumstances.

Living with it
Reliability
Dagenham special. They have to get this right after 25 years?
Image
Not bad. Need newer version to enable more power and luxury.
Comfort
Good for me. Not so good in the back for adults. Very good ergonomics, but could do with more back support.

Security and Service
Security
Not worth nicking.....
Service
Local dealer very good service levels, certain parts and related labour can be expensive. e.g. £15 for a spare plastic wheel trim and something like £500 for a colour coded bumper.
