Driving it
What's it like to drive?
i honestly cant give you an accurate answer - it spends more time in the garage being repaired than it does on the road, when i do get the rare change to drive it, its horrible.

An absolute dream, because it means im about to get out of it.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
oh yes indeedy! Clutch went after 11,000 miles (warranty invalid) received a bill for £500! Clearner broke the glovebox hinges before i even collected the car, the alternator light flashes on and off, computer diagnostic system cant find anything wrong(?!), it burns oil (excessively), a coolant pipe cracked after 25000 miles, you dont need gym member ship, its a workout trying to get it into reverse gear, it pops itself out of 1st gear. Its so badly made that the vibration of the disel endine make the interior rattles when the car is idle, and if you put the wipers on at full speed you'd better hold on - the entire car rocks from side to side!
What's most practical about your car?
nothing apart that there is plenty of people looking for 2nd hand fiestas that i can sell it to...
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
the interior door handle so i can get out of it...
