Ford Fiesta (2002 - 2008) 1.6 Zetec S 3d (05) (2007/56) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

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

I haven't yet met anybody who doesn't like it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes I would buy this car again. I also looked at the VW Golf but it's a lot more money both to buy and run. And i've always had a ford.

What are you likely to buy next?

Fiesta ST

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£5,500

When did you buy the car?

June 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

I think so, I paid £5500, 3 years old with 30k miles

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I needed a small car with a bit more punch for motorways, but still keeping the costs down. I also love how it looks.

What was the dealer like?

Nice, friendly chap.

What's it like to drive?

Like many people say, it needs a 6th gear for the motorway, however most small city cars at this level only have 5 gears. Otherwise it's a blast to drive, I absolutely love it. Very spritley around town and comfortable on the motorway. The extra power from the 1.6 engine really helps overtaking.

What's it like to park?

Easy, it took me a little time to get used to the fairly small rear screen though.

Have you had any problems with the car?

nothing!

What's most practical about your car?

I really like the remote boot, both from the key and from the button on the dash. Okay, this isn't state of the art, but it's something I didnt have on my old car and use all the time.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I love how the car looks, it has a subtle yet sporty body kit factory fitted. I mean, it looks great without making you look like a chav. I've got the black one which I think is the best!
