Where do i start well i got my mk IV fiesta in the summer of 2003 just before i passed my driving test i found it much better to drive that my driving instructors car which was a seat ibiza 1.9 Diesel, horred car. I found the throttle responsive and the clutch really light in my fiesta which is good on the legs when in a slow moving traffic jam.
I think this car is quite nippy when needed with 60bhp but lags a bit in the higher gears so when on the motor way you might need to get a bit of a run up before over taking. Through town's i find it has enougth power to pull away quick enougth from junctions and roundabouts.
This car was quite a bargin in great condition i got mine second hand for £3699 at 23000 miles on the clock and on a 1999 V Reg plate. All i needed to do was replace the windscreen wippers and as its a reliable ford it should be good for about 150,000 miles (well i hope it is i cant afford a new car).
I think this Petrol 1.3 fiesta is ok on fuel i can get about 250 miles on a full tank thats motorway driving it cost about £25 to fill it up from nearly empty. I read somewhere it can do 39.8 miles per gallon which is ok it gets me from A to B.
This car dont come with much but i wouldnt expect it to its a cheep little runaround you get a tape/radio player (i put a cd player in mine) the standard speakers are ok. The a/c is good if you get hot just open a window you get a good size boot the seats are confertable(i cant spell)and the driving position is good and for a standard car it handles very well.
The inside of the car is plesent to look at and everything is in the right place easy to get to and to use all the dials on the dash like the speedo are easy to see and light up well for night driving.The seats look nice and nice to sit in there is quite a bit of room in the passenger seat and the back is ok but for the bigger people to get in your might need to move the front seats foward. As for the drivers seat for the man or woman who is a little taller might have a little messing around to get in im 5ft 10, and when i get in i have to swing my legs under the steering wheel a bit of a squeese but once in nice to be there.
I hope this was helpful as my first review im just telling you how i feel about my car i think its a great all round purpose built car it has 4 wheels and drives what more could u want?

I've got a Fiesta 1.1 and it's certainly fared me well!

Interesting review. In future you might think about drafting reveiws in an off-line word processor (e.g. MS Word) to benefit from spell / grammar checking: this would make your work more readable and improve the ratings.
