-
Economy
Value
Fairly good kit for the price. Air con is a nice extra to have.
Costs
Acceptable. Front bushes, tyres and brakes have been a regular change for me.

On the road
Driving
Quite smooth, handles well, likes to be driven hard.
Performance
Needs a little bit more power, but keeps up with most 2-litre cars. Not a slouch!

Living with it
Reliability
Electrics can be poor. Mechanics very good! Reliable if serviced on time.
Image
Nice bodykit, smart alloys. All Fiestas try to look like the Zetec S.
Comfort
Sports seats are crap - little support. Too flat.

Security and Service
Security
Good alarm and immobiliser. I have fitted Cat 1 system, although not really required.
Service
Ford is overpriced for all types of servicing - a total rip-off.
