  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Good second hand value. Wouldn't have spent over £11k for a new one!

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    It would have been cheap if i hadn't done 35,000 miles in less than two years.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Might not be the fastest car, but it looses others faster cars when it gets twisty!

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Fast for its insurance rating. Ford should have put the 1.7 Puma engine in it though!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Never let me down in two years and 35,000 miles.

    Best looking Fiesta, period.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Some comfort is sacrificed for the handling, can't have both at this price.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Comes with alarm, immobiliser and double locking. Never tested so it must be a deterrent.

    Problems

    Engine

    Other

    Blue leather section of steering wheel melts and looks terrible, had two wheels in two years! Suspension rattles, dropped linkage is the fault. Has been in twice because of it.
