    Introduction: Hello there. My name is Tom and I shall be writing an in-depth review on a car I have recently purchased in the North East of Scotland which is Ford Fiesta 1.8 litre Diesel. This version is the "LX" which means it has absolutely no frills, bells or indeed whistles. I am a university student at the University of Edinburgh and will be looking to commute weekly to Aberdeen to see friends and the girlfriend. I have read several reviews on ciao! about this car and thought to add my own so I will try to be as in-depth as possible. Please leave me comments if you feel I should add ... more

    Advantages Advantages Cheap To Run, Reliable 300k+ Engine

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Noisy, Sluggish, Not As Refined As Rivals

    Fiestas, and me, we're in a love, I can't get enough of them, and I've purchased a 97 1.8D to get me to college and back, (about a 60 mile round trip each day.) Now, I am a die hard petrol head, but the 50+MPG appealed, its a Fiesta, its Blue, I thought, I'll love it. Me and "Sooty" fell out pretty quickly, after jumping out a mk4 1.4 Zetec into a mk4 1.8 diesel, I promtply revved the nuts out of the engine and nearly blew it up on the way home. I thought, "I know these things are slow, but....." It struggled to get to sixty in two miles of clear, straight road, and the soot pouring out the ... more

    Advantages Advantages CHEAP TO RUN, CHEAP SERVICING, CHEAP TO BUY

    Disadvantages Disadvantages SLOW, CAN BE CRAMPED

    I BOUGHT MY FIESTA ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO NOW AT A PRICE OF £1650 IT HAD DONE 68,000 MILES AND STILL RUNS A TREAT. Since then i have covered more than 30,000 miles and the only problem i have has was a seized front brake caliper, the reason for this was the fact the car was left stood for 6 weeks in portsmouth dockyard, the salt caused it to seize. It only cost me £100 for a new caliper, a pair of discs and brake pads. MAINTENANCE: I do most of the serviceing my self, i change the oil every 5000 miles this only cost £25 and is one of the best things you can do for a high milage diesel. I replace ... more

    Advantages Advantages Cheap parts, economical

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slow, minor electrical faults, noisy

    Economy Superstar, 50 miles per gallon. Reliability I have had two diesel Fiestas. The first was so reliable that I bought a second. That wasn't. Oh well. So I would say reliability is variable. My current car gets through glow plugs and suspension arms like nothing else. Style Excuse me? Practical-looking. Acceleration Poor but ok once you are up to speed. Value for money Good. Parts are cheap and easy to get hold of. Good fuel economy. Unlikely to be stolen as it is slow. Problems Minor electrical faults, e.g. rear windscreen wiper and radio only work intermittently. This has been the case ... more

    Advantages Advantages Small and fast.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The rust comes out to fast !!

    Ford Fiesta - the most popular car in the group of SMALL cars (at least in Lithuania). Maybe thats why wee have chose this car in our research. The name Ford Fiesta has appeared in year 1976, when the first Ford Fiesta has been made (the old Fiesta). And already in 1989 a new model has been made. The 3 generation Ford Fiesta (to wich we have got used). In year 1992 manufacturers have improved this model: more updatings has been added and some Exterior changes are made. In year 1996 the manufacturers have started to made the other (next) model (4 generation). So the 3 generation Ford Fiesta was ... more
