Ford Fiesta 1999

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Not that well equipped from new for the price. Was quite lucky that mine was 2nd hand and came with CD player and climate pack (a/c, h/f/w & e/h/m).

    Costs

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Reasonable fuel economy (between 33-38mpg) and palatable insurance costs.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Nippy with confidence inspiring handling that never fails to put a smile on your face.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Quick...but not that quick. Could probably have done with a little more power. I find it best to forget hanging on for the redline, change up earlier and let the torque do the work.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Nothing broken yet and hasn't yet failed to start.

    THE best looking Fiesta model ever (no arguments please) and dare I say it, with only being around for a couple of years, future classic perhaps??

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Comfy seats with air con makes for a nice place to be. Doors sound slightly tinny when closed.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    No one's had a go so not too sure, hope I never find out.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    All smiles, sweetness and light when selling to me but won't know about servicing until next year.

  • Problems and Ownership

    Engine

    None.

    Other

    Blue trim on steering wheel was half rubbed off. Replaced by dealer before it was picked up. Doesn't bode well at 11k miles though.
