Ford Fiesta (2002 - 2008) 1.6 Zetec S 3d (05) (2006/56) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Likes a stylish sporty car, bit of a lad though and people could get the wrong impression. Nothing special though as its only a Fiesta!

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

Everyone liked it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Probably not, the new Fiesta isn't my cup of tea and they never improve the performance of their cars!! and never introduced the 6th gear the car needs!

What are you likely to buy next?

Don't have this car anymore. Now drive an Alfa Romeo MiTo which I highly recommend.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£6,100

When did you buy the car?

December 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, £6100 for a car that was 2 years old at the time with 20,000 miles on the clock was brilliant.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Just wanted something small and sporty looking.

What was the dealer like?

Very good. Got it from Hendy Ford, who are a renowned good dealer in the South.

What's it like to drive?

Not as brilliant as it looks! Not overally quick, very slow with more than 1 passenger. Also desperatly needs a 6th gear for motorway cruising. It wasn't nice rattling along at 4000 revs at 75mph

What's it like to park?

Easy!

Have you had any problems with the car?

The grille and hose were broken when in for a service but were replaced after kicking up a fuss. Reported a problem with the car ticking under full power when initially pulling off but apparently this is a normal characteristic of the car. Other than that, very reliable.

What's most practical about your car?

Nothing really... easy to park and nip around town in I guess. What is practical about a small car?

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Aux Connection, the half leather interior was nice as well.
