Ford Fiesta (08 on) - Review Review by Dan Harrison on 01 September 2008 Last Updated: 25 August 2011 The Ford Fiesta is a small car with big ideas. As well as being stylish and good to drive, it borrows many innovations from larger Fords, such as keyless entry, Bluetooth hands-free phone compatibility and a system to prevent mis-fuelling. The Fiesta also has a few tricks of its own - it'll play MP3 files from a USB stick through the stereo, comes with a knee airbag as standard, plus has a dash inspired by a mobile phone. But that doesn't mean that it has betrayed its small car roots. It's better value than ever, cheaper to buy and costs less to run than the old car - there's even an ECOnetic model which costs nothing to tax. Overall it's one of the finest small cars you can buy. 4.5 out of 5 Other Ford reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery Also Consider 4 out of 5 Vauxhall Corsa Hatchback (06 on) Excellent build quality, neat interior, roomy and comfortable cabin, safe handling, low emissions ecoFLEX model Lack of cabin stowage, lacklustre petrol engines Read full review 4 out of 5 Renault Clio Hatchback (05 on) Chic style, comfortable and sophisticated interior, excellent ride quality Over-assisted steering, seats lack support, ESP not standard, cheap feeling interior on base models Read full review 4 out of 5 Mazda 2 (07 on) Good to drive, stylish and sporty look, holds its value well, good equipment levels Awkward boot shape, noisy at speed, firm ride Read full review Find other hatchback cars Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
