Ford Fiesta ST (2005 - 2008) 2.0 ST (11/05-) 3d (2007/07) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

slightly boy racer? likes something a bit different and sporty.

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

they like it as they see it as a fun car but does not have a refinded image thanks to the white ST stripe down the side!

Would you buy this car again and why?

no, mainly because I will need a familly car next and it isnt the most fuel efficient of cars I have owned. get around 31MPG on average.

What are you likely to buy next?

I have been looking at a few cars but I think a Mitsubishi Lancer GS3/4. It looks the business and shouldnt be too hard on fuel or insurance.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£7,000

When did you buy the car?

March 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

Pretty much, nice red model at a good price it had only done 20,000

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I bought it because I wanted something quick and fun that wouldnt cost me an arm and a leg to run. Wanted an RX8 but the fuel economy is shocking.

What was the dealer like?

very helpful

What's it like to drive?

quick without being really fast. Its quick off the mark and pulls well throughout the gears. the handling is the best I have ever experienced but the ride is rather firm thanks to the sports suspension and the poor state of roads in my area. It defintly needs a 6th gear and long distance driving can be tiring as the car is very responsive. Overall a great drive.

What's it like to park?

easy but has the turning circle of an oil tanker

Have you had any problems with the car?

the cd player doesnt work but thats about it

What's most practical about your car?

I woulnt describe it as the most practical being only 3 door. The boot is a great size and there is good leg room all round

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

the seats are awsome. heated windscreen came in handy this winter
