Ford Fiesta (2002 - 2008) 1.25 Firefly 3d (2004/54) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Im practical, grown up(i was 17 when i bought it) and normal. I dont get the boy racer image with this particular Car, even though it has standard fitment alloys and spoiler

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They think it suits me down to the ground

Would you buy this car again and why?

I doubt it, i want a faster car

A Fiesta RS Turbo, i'll still keep the Fiesta for everyday life

September 2004

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, the car was in a clearance. Was £500 less than what the Finesse model was the previous week

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I work for the Car Salvage Trade, i wanted a safe first car

What was the dealer like?

Ok

What's it like to drive?

Very good! The handling on its standard 15" alloys with standard Bridgestone is amazing for what it is. Power is ok from the revvy 1.25 Zetec engine, though its no hot hatch, it makes good progress

What's it like to park?

Could be better, Ford should have been more considerate on visability when designing this Car, ecspecialy when you take into consideration its market (First time drivers, elderly etc).

Have you had any problems with the car?

Handbrake was not tight enough, had that started. It does have its charateristics, Fords customer service puts me off.

What's most practical about your car?

Size, Safety is a Big factor for me.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

The paint, Aqaurious blue metallic, if your after a 02-06 Fiesta, consider this colour, is Hot in the summer ;-)
