Living with it
Reliability
I had to replace my battery after it had been in the car 12 years. Previous owner had only done 57500 miles in that time so i think it did alot of short journeys.
Image
Mine is mint silver and looks fairly good. But it's still an old Fiesta.
Comfort
Front seats very comfy, rear is short on space if you have tall people in the car. Otherwise it's fine.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser, But if someone wants to get in the car they probably will.
Service
Can't say yet, although i'm going to have it serviced by Ford at 60,000 miles.
