Ford Fiesta ST (2005 - 2008) 2.0 ST (11/05-) 3d (2006/56) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Probably a younger driver's car, hot-hatch. However, considering the cost of insurance for a younger people for this model...tough haha.

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

They seem to love it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, it's never gone wrong. The Duratec HE engine seems to be bulletproof as long as you service it. And despite its nimble legs it can return 37mpg if you're not in a hurry.

What are you likely to buy next?

Focus ST.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

October 2012

Did you get a good deal and why?

I could have got a better deal if I'm honest. I'm not the best at doing deals.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

After years of owning big family cars I wanted something small, quick and good looking.

What was the dealer like?

Overall, very good.

What's it like to drive?

Exciting to drive. Very quick and pokey through all the gear range. Grips the bends like glue. Downside would be motorway driving; it's quite loud and a 6th gear would be a godsend. Having said that, the stereo volume does go to 11.

What's it like to park?

Compared to my former Battleship Vectra Estate, it's an absolute doddle to park.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

Its size. Being small and nippy it's as easy to drive around the city as driving around the country lanes.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Automatic lights. Front heated windscreen. Aux port for MP3 player.
