Advantages: good fuel economy, spacious interior, low maintenance Disadvantages: annoying stereo and seat belts
The relatively large engine for this size car gives the Fiesta fairly good acceleration. The power steering is responsive and it handles well.

The relatively large engine for this size car gives the Fiesta fairly good acceleration. The power steering is responsive and it handles well. I have found the fuel economy to be excellent, despite what some reviewers have said. The exterior looks attractive and the interior is relatively spacious. In three and a half years, mine has never broken down and has needed hardly any maintenance.
On the negative side, the top speed is not terribly impressive, although it is enough for normal use. Annoyingly, the seat belts are in such a location that driver and front passenger have to reach back awkwardly and sometimes painfully to reach them. The stereo gets much louder as you drive faster, presumably so that you can hear it over the increased engine noise without needing to turn it up, butthe volume increases far too much. At volume level three, say, it is almost inaudible when stationary at traffic lights but deafening when on the motorway. This is very annoying.
On the whole, though, only fairly minor complaints. This is a very good three door hatchback.
Advantages: Spacious,Nippy,Front Window Heater Disadvantages: Doesnt look as exciting as older models/perhaps more grown up
...practical has enough oomph and will ensure henry fords great company continues to grow from strength to strength. Ideal for housewives and small families.

Advantages: Comes with the handy extra of heated screen Disadvantages: Cant think of any!!
I have owned this car for 2 years now and *touch wood* have never had any problems.
The flame is limited edition and comes with a heated front screen which is excellent for clearing the ice of your screen in the mornings. It only takes a couple mins and the screen is clear and ready for you to drive away!
It is economical on petroland it costs around £35 to fill the tank from empty (depending on fuel costs obviously). It is known for having 'the ... ...It is also spacious inside and fits 2 cars seats in the back comfortably, never tried 3 car seats but with 3 small seats it may be possible.

Advantages: very good handling, Disadvantages: cheap plastics, engine problems
...older fiesta`s which is somthing ford has done well to provide. 3 average sized adults can sit in the back whislt having room in the boot for family shopping making the car ideal for small familys, and those with children. The back seats fold down giving even more room for larger objects when needed. The front seats give good back support whist driving, and two air bags for safety. As its a ford a good CD player is fitted as standard with clear, ... ...aid in the practicality design of the car. A good Visual field whislt driving is achieved with a good view of the rear window. As with most fords the controlls are easy to use and well within reach giving added comfort. The only bad point about the inside is the lack of a clutch peddle foot rest, which can make long distance driving less comforable then it may otherwise be. The dealership (ford) has been average in dealing with the cars problems, ...
