Ford Fiesta (2002 - 2008) 1.4 Ghia 5d (05) (2006/55) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I love value for money.

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

I am going to be getting a company car before the end of the year. My dad wants to buy this car as a 3rd car or to replace my step-mums Street KA.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I would, I have loved it & it was fantastic value for money (believe me, I did my research before buying!!). But I am about to get a job with a company car, so I may not be able to choose my own car again.

What are you likely to buy next?

Unfortunately as I won't be able to choose my next car it is likely to be a gas guzzling Audi, BMW, Volvo or Passat (apparently) I'd prefer a fiesta. If they want prestige, what is wrong with a Focus CC??

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

February 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

I had decided before I bought my new car what I wanted. my only issue was who to but it from.I tried a couple of dealers. Most of them were "TYPICAL USED CAR SALESMEN". Benfield Ford in Leeds were very, very good. I saw Richard Bradley, he was a very understanding salesman (I work in sales, so I KNOW!!). His manager & the rest of the staff were also brilliant when I bought my car. I cannot speak highly enough of these guys. I always buy new cars & am in eternal fear as a single female of being ripped off, I felt very comfortable at Benfield. I can highly hgighly reccomend them. Unfortunately their service dept let them down. But I am lucky to have found Oulton Cars, they are very honest & fair.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Inheritance.

What's it like to drive?

I love it.

What's it like to park?

Great, I do have a driveway which is very easy, but my sister has driven it & has done OK (She is a rubbish parker!!)

Have you had any problems with the car?

The blue tooth had a few teething problems, but was sorted out very quickly & efficiently.

What's most practical about your car?

The Blue Tooth option is a MUST!! Also if you are buying the Ghia, make sure the had the protective coating put on the bodywork & interior. As mine is a leather interior, I can say it is essential but also I drive regularly on the motorway & there is not one stone chip.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Bluetooth!! Blutooth!! Bluetooth!! also get the paintwork & interior protection.
