Economy
Value
Electric windows, mirrors, velour seats, nothing you would find on a fiesta ghia of the same age.
Costs
Drive it sensibly and it gives about 38-42 mpg. Not that i can confirm this, i just read it elsewhere.

On the road
Driving
Slaughters the 1.3 fiesta in every aspect, especially straight line speed.
Performance
I pity all the people in 1.3 fiestas of the same age, who are paying for a car in ins. group 6 that do 0-60 in about 17 and make that awful old fiesta engine noise. Get a 1.4 clio ins. group 5, 0-60 10.5-11.5.

Living with it
Reliability
Starts without fuss, also bodywork on mine very tidy, no signs of rust. All electrics functional too.
Image
Girls car if you leave it as standard.
Comfort
Avoid potholes at all costs, it sounds as though it is shaking it to pieces.
