Ford Fiesta (2002 - 2008) 1.4 Zetec 3d (02) (2003/52) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Stylish and good value i hope!

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

Same as above

Would you buy this car again and why?

Maybe but only the 2.0 ST appeals as the rest are far too slow compared to rivals. Ford also need a decent tdi like the Fabis VRS as the 90bhp DCI is also slow.

What are you likely to buy next?

BMW 330 or a Fabia VRS

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£4,000

When did you buy the car?

February 2005

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes as it was dirt cheap! only £4K when the market value was much higher at the time.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Cheap of a friend and economical while still being resonably fast supposably

What was the dealer like?

Was a friend so 1st class service really

What's it like to drive?

A hoot round corners, good brakes aswell and comfortable moterway cruiser which is what i use it mostly for. 1.4 engine is not as good as the 1.25 and could certinaly use another 20bhp and corsa and clio 1.2s are faster. Only getting 34mpg........

What's it like to park?

a doddle, big side windows and mirrors. A piller gets in the way though but same can be said for most new cars.

Have you had any problems with the car?

yes, its a ford! F/Left suspention spring sheared 2 months after hitting a rather big pothole. Windscreen wipers spring snapped so no wipers and leaky washer jets lead to knackered spark plugs,ignition coils and catylic converter(not cheap!) and remote central lockeing has stopped working.

What's most practical about your car?

big inside,so is the boot compared to a corsa or clio

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

none really, probably the lecky windows so i dont have to wind them
