Ford Fiesta (2002 - 2008) 1.4 Zetec 5d Auto (Climate) (05) (2007/57) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

When seeing this car it was like a chck flick as I saw her glinting headlamps from across the forecourt and fell in love. The dark windows shows my and the car's private side of safety of my backseats. The larger than averge wheels shows the attitude of standing above the rest and the gleam and shine that Nelly has shows the care and love for her I have. This 4 wheeled lady makes life so much simpler, no public transport, no walking I hop in her with her fabulous speakers and listen to any field of music and still remain cool.

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

My family and friends love my car, both to drive and be a passenger. With is enveloping comfort and easyness of space they love it. It has style and comfort.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I would definetly buy this car again as stated previous I have own her nearly 2 years and never had any trouble, she is as dependable as August rain, as agile as a water snake and as slick as James bond. my previous car was a Fiat punto, barely a car more like a shed with wheels, that was a literal bane of my life, more spent on taxis and public transport whilst owning it and nearly replacing ever part of the car.

What are you likely to buy next?

I would like a car like this but larger something like an MG 5 door. Love these cars, I am looking to change my car soon to suit my career changes but I will be sad to see her go. She has been a fabulous girl who you can look out of your window just to watch her pretty lamps and her beautiful bonnet glimmer in the sunshine. She is a pretty metal princess with a personality to match mine in strength, toughness and dependabilty.

Did you get a good deal and why?

I believe I received a good deal, my car at that time had an issue with brakes whch i was worried about. As soon as i arrived i was comforted to find out that it was ok they would accept in its current state. They helped me find something suitable and perfect for my need. They did however try to emphasis on lesser quality cars on the promise of the price, this didn't wash with me and knew that as soon as i saw 'the' car i would love it.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

The car was visually attractive with a promise of a fantastic service history. Previous owners were many but I knew that this was a love at first sight. Tinted windows brought an edge to this 4 wheeled beauty.

What was the dealer like?

The dealer was helpful, although some corners were cut for example upon leaving the forcourt there was around 2 miles worth of petrol in the tank. The piece of apparatus that is used to take nuts off of the wheels was not supplied and also a spare wheel was not supplied as promised. All of these points where discuessed and sorted between myself and the dealer.

What's it like to drive?

Doing generally short to medium trips per day she handles any road brilliantly. Throw any terrain at this madam and she will eat it up and spit it out without effecting you sitting in it. Speed bumps, sorted, sleeping policemen, sorted, inclines, sorted, icy road, sorted and most of all heavy rain on motorways with restricted view, SORTED. She is a mistress of the road, a girl who loved being taken to London from Liverpool last year. Flaunting her handling through the busy beeping streets was just a catwalk for her, no matter the speed and curve of this road, this Ford Fiesta is born for it.

What's it like to park?

This car is completly a 'mary poppins bag' as from the outside the windows and width of the car suggest its average, however climb inside this wonder and you are swimming in a 'room' of space. easily housing 5 people within her 4 doors she also has plenty of room for view when reverse parking. no heads get in the way and sight is not restricted by your passengers. She is so easy to manoeuvre in to the spaces, whether small or larger spaces, whether reverse or parallel it's so smooth and agile that any space is yours. No more parking further due to harsh steering or restricted view, park outside the shop and walk less, life with ford fiesta = simple.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Coming up to 2 years as being the owner of this 'lady' I have only had trivial issues such as 2 burt tyres and a blocked air inlet. The general upkeep of this power machine has been very easy she doesn't need a lot of attention and is happy being taken for short or long journeys and being your best purring little metal friend never letting you down and being 100% dependable.

What's most practical about your car?

What is most practical about this car is the general abaility of it. 100% dependable never letting me down, through sun, rain and snow she has kept on being her 'organic' self. Never costing me more than reasonable, getting me safely, soundly and keeping her style while behaving like a dressed up sports car. She humms like a baby bird, purrs like a cat with the cream and sings when she is winning.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

'Nelly' as she is known is a basic, girl next door kind of lady. She is plain, basically beautiful with a gorgeous silver sheen to her outside and her back window and rear windows giving her a little privacy with being tinted. This adds a little 'attitude' to the whizzing wonder and looks great in the sunshine. There are no gadgets on this naturally beautiful girl, she needs no dressing up to show her beauty and her amazing clean lines.
