    Even at 130k, its brilliant! A pleasant surprise! Very light and responsive and so compact!

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Unbelievably quick, best in city though. Motorway use is so-so.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    So far so good. No expense at all besides service.

    Well its bottom rung, Fiesta is where cars begin.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Lack of power steering, electric windows, aircon. Still more spacious than its successor, the Mk 4 Fiesta!

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Only have an immobiliser, yet its sufficient for this cheap car. Aftermarket alarms are a good bet though.
