    Electric windows, mirrors, velour seats, nothing you would find on a fiesta ghia of the same age.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Drive it sensibly and it gives about 38-42 mpg. Not that i can confirm this, i just read it elsewhere.

    Slaughters the 1.3 fiesta in every aspect, especially straight line speed.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    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

    4 out of 5 4.0
