Ford Fiesta (2002 - 2008) 1.6 Zetec S Red 3d (2008/58) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Ageing idiot - I'm wrinkly grey pensioner so get some prety odd looks climbing out of a bright red Zetec S sometimes.

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

They love it - my son pinches it sometiimes as he loves driving it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Not the Fiesta as I need a bigger car now but I'd certainly look at a Zetec S Focus.

What are you likely to buy next?

Prob a Focus / Mazda 3 or BMW series 1 - not decided yet.

Independent

No

September 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

Yes, they did a good deal as I had no part ex.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Wanted something fun and it was bought on a whim, saw it in the dealers whilst drivine g past, went in and bought it.

What was the dealer like?

Friendly, efficient, but told me a few porkies as most dealers do.

What's it like to drive?

Excellent in the twsties, the handling is superb - a very nimble little car and quite nippy. Not a whole sack of fun on the motorway though - but I tend to avoid those anyway as the car is so much fun to drive on the back lanes. Really needs a 6th gear for m/ways as it can get a bit noisy over 70mph.

What's it like to park?

Doddle

Have you had any problems with the car?

No - nothing.

What's most practical about your car?

Most things - it's Ford , but a fun one.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Love the full leather interior and the heated screen has been a boon thro' the 2 winters I've owned the car.
