Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Ok, but seems to have lost a lot of value in the space of the year that I've had it.
Costs
Very resonable running costs and insurance.

On the road
Driving
Love it! Great to drive and not bad in the speed department either. It's faster than most people realise!
Performance
Needs a lot of revs to get the most out of it. Change up a gear too soon and the engine will lag and judder!

Living with it
Reliability
Good. Only a few minor problems, which the dealer sorted out quickly.
Image
It's a Fiesta! Nice from the front, but why didn't Ford change that stupid round backside?
Comfort
Average. Fine for around town, but can get uncomfortable on long journeys. As we all know - no room in the back!
-
Security and Service
Security
Seems fine I guess. No one has tried anything yet. Has the standard Ford security stuff and I even managed to get the horn honking one day! No idea how though!?
Service
Very good, but then they wanted to sell me the car didn't they!
