Seems ok.Gearbox is a bit whiney.Ford Zetec engines are usually good.

Best looking Fiesta apart from the zetec S.10 times better looking than the new Fiesta which looks like a mini focus but uglier.
Comfort
I've got leather seats in mine which are nice and comfortable. Although the leather is so cold on a cold day you end up feeling like Frosty the snowman.
