Fantastic; it handles well and really shifts for a 1.2. Its thrashed a mates 1.9 206 tdi and another mates 1.4 vw polo (both of which are newer than my fiesta!!).

Small so very easy although it you can't see where the front is (all fords old and new seem to have this problem).

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Has gone through a few light bulbs and theres a clicking/squeking noise coming fro the right front corner when the cars moving (it doesn't affect the way the car drives). Bar that nothings gone majorly wrong.
What's most practical about your car?
Its one of the few cars of this size that can accomodate me (im 6ft4) and a few friends.
