Ford Fiesta (2002 - 2008) 1.4 TDCi Zetec 5d (Climate) (05) (2006/56) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I've got it because I drive a relatively long commute (15 miles each way) and it's economical and nice to drive. It is a bit non-descript though, particularly as it's silver!

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

Good, reliable, cheap to run.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes I would, I'm a convinced fiesta fan now. Unless of course I needed anything bigger, in which case I would probably look at Ford first.

What are you likely to buy next?

Depends on the circumstances (commute, dogs, size of family etc).

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£3,900

When did you buy the car?

March 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes. I part exchanged my previous car.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

The dealer did not pressurise me and was good to deal with.

What's it like to drive?

It's little and pokey and good fun. the 1.4 tdci engine, i find, it absolutely perfect. Enough poke for an overtake and comfortable cruising at 85 on the motorway. Extremely efficient on fuel if driven politely!

What's it like to park?

Easy. I have to parallel park where I live and the turning circle and length of vehicle is perfect.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Only standard, brake pads etc.

What's most practical about your car?

Nothing especially more practical than any other small car, but ample boot size and 5 doors make it very usable. (Can fit 3 hay bales in here with the seats down!).
