Ford Fiesta (2008 - 2017) 1.25 (82bhp) Zetec 3d (2013/13) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

It says that "This time I let my Mrs choose the car".My turn next time.

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

"Oh it's another red ford fiesta" probably.

Would you buy this car again and why?

If I'm totally honest then no,too many of them on the roads.I'll prob go for something a bit different and stylish.

What are you likely to buy next?

I love the new Mazda 2 and the Renault Captur but prob won't be changing the Fiesta till 2018 at the earliest so I'll see what's on the market then.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£9,000

When did you buy the car?

May 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

2nd consecutive purchase from Motorpoint Burnley.Cheapest out there at the time.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

None,I tend to change every 4-5 yrs and I was due one.

What was the dealer like?

Absolutely fantastic and fuss-free as was the previous purchase.

What's it like to drive?

If I'm perfectly honest I'm a bit disappointed.It's the first Ford that I've owned and was looking forward to the supposed better driving experience over their rivals.Can't say it's that much better if I'm honest.The 1.25 Zetec unit isn't the most economical either-I'm averaging around 35 mpg if I'm lucky with town driving.

What's it like to park?

Easy enough although the high back end isn't the best for reversing.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Not yet! (Fingers crossed).

What's most practical about your car?

Probably the blu-tooth for me,everything else is what you would expect from a 3 dr hatch.Boot and cabin space is ok and the seats are comfortable enough.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

First car that I've owned with built in blu-tooth for the phone and music-Love it!.
