The Ford Fiesta has become one of just a handful of household names in the motoring world. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best, but it is one of the most recognisable and popular - in fact it has become a byword for ‘small car’ and almost a brand in its own right.

The Ford Fiesta has become one of just a handful of household names in the motoring world. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best, but it is one of the most recognisable and popular - in fact it has become a byword for ‘small car’ and almost a brand in its own right. Fun, easy to drive and cheap to run the current Fiesta embodies the same qualities that made its predecessors so popular but adds attractive looks and refined engines.

What owners say...

 Nice size and can fit all of my shopping in without being nearly as big as the new Fiesta.

 The radio - I love playing music loud to annoy the neighbours.
