Value
Can't grumble at the cost of a car like this.
Costs
I had to have a new exhaust fitted at 16,500 miles. I was not happy.

On the road
Driving
Quite good when using the revs to get going (even wheel spins on wet surfaces!) Corners well.
Performance
The car is responsive but without using the rev range, the car can feel a little bit sluggish through 4th - 5th gear.

Living with it
Image
Will be looking quite old within the next 2 years.
Comfort
Not bad for a car like this but have driven in better drivers' seats. Rear legroom is a little tight for adult passengers. Have found when you bring the passenger seat forward, the design of the seat resticts the drivers ability to use the handbrake.

Security
They are good for a Fiesta, but if you change the audio system, I would fit a second alarm.
