Summary
What does this car say about you?
Wants a good small car that fun to drive.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They like it. Had a few chavs jokes made. The leather seats and power button are popular.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, the fiesta is the best car in its class and the Zetec S/S 1600 model is the best type of fiesta.
What are you likely to buy next?
Maybe a fiesta ST when it comes out. Or a Focus or Volvo V40 if I can find a need for a car that size. But if a new special edition fiesta Zetec S comes out I might think of that.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great. Handles really well and the engine is very nice lots of power and it even makes a good noise. It feels a lot bigger than the old fiesta and the ride at slow speed is rough. The 17in wheels seem to fellow dips in the road at low speed. But past 30 it grips really well and feels frim and 'sporty'.
What's it like to park?
Nice big mirrors. But the turning circle seems HUGE for a small car. Always worried about scuffing the white alloys.
