Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Good second hand value. Wouldn't have spent over £11k for a new one!
Costs
It would have been cheap if i hadn't done 35,000 miles in less than two years.
-
On the road
Driving
Might not be the fastest car, but it looses others faster cars when it gets twisty!
Performance
Fast for its insurance rating. Ford should have put the 1.7 Puma engine in it though!
-
Living with it
Reliability
Never let me down in two years and 35,000 miles.
Image
Best looking Fiesta, period.
Comfort
Some comfort is sacrificed for the handling, can't have both at this price.

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

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.
