Ford Fiesta 1.4 Zetec 5d (AC) (2004/04) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
A little over priced for a Ford, but for your money you do get a fair amount of kit.
Costs
The servicing is quite costly, as are the general maintenance costs, i.e. tyres, due to the width of them.

On the road
Driving
Pretty good. Ride is comfortable, although a little firm at lower speeds.
Performance
Bit sluggish and does not tolerate pulling away when you cannot be bothered to change gear. However, once you are at 3000 rpm its quite nippy.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems yet.
Image
Pretty good looking car. The f/fogs and colour coded bumpers set it off. But could do with colour coded door handles and mirrors
Comfort
Seats are ok and support is good, but my lower back aches after a longer journey. Air con is a nice addition

Security and Service
Security
Got an immobiliser. Could do with an alarm. Got gifted with a smashed window and was unaware until the morning.
Service
Poor. They are unhelpful. And awkward about giving you the time you want to get your car serviced. Also costly
