Ford Fiesta (1995 - 1999) 1.25 Ghia 16V 5d (1995/N) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Not alot really, its a Ghia I suppose, so its King of the Fiesta range, but I wouldnt really say its a head turner.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Everyone thinks that its a good car.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes I probably would, its done me proud really, and I cant fault it for alot. I dont think I would of paid quite so much for the car though.

What are you likely to buy next?

Was considering an Escort as I really love my Fords, but I think it will be a Civic next. The engines are bulletproof, and the Vtec systems are great.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£850

When did you buy the car?

November 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

The car was advertised for 950, and got it for 850 in the end. It is a tidy little car, but I think I paid a little to much for it.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I knew I was going to get a fiesta before I passed my test. Then a friend offered me a ghia model. They are good little cars. The engines are designed by Yamaha I beleive and are very strong. If I had gone for a french alternative, I do not think it would of done me as proud as this.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

The car is quite old now, so its got a few rattles and knocks, but other than that its great. It handles really well in the corners, the engine is really lively when you get in 3rd gear and above (not much there in 1st and 2nd). You really get alot of feel for the road in these cars.

What's it like to park?

Easy!! Loads of visibility, and its a small car.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The usual wear and tear bits, but my clutch has just started to slip now so that needs sorting out. But in defense of the car it has done 92000 miles now.

What's most practical about your car?

These are good, get in and go cars.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Ghia models come with pretty much everything Power steering, electric windows, driver + passenger airbag, alarm, immobiliser and much more. Really people, do not settle for anything less. my friend had a fiesta, which was the same shape but a basic model, and it just was not the same!!
