This is my first car. I bought it in November 2006 for £2000. Had 20000 miles done. I use the car to drive about to the station so I can go to work. Its a metallic blue colour.
Advantages: - It is an ideal first car for anyone. Its quick, nippy and easy to just jump in and drive somewhere.
- The handling of the car is smooth and it is easy to control. Power steering makes it easy to turn the wheel.
- The acceleration is good, I admit I accelerate too hard but its certainly nippy and will go quickly.
- Its has good fuel economy. It costs about £30 to fill the tank and this will last for a long time.
- The size of the car makes it very easy to park - I'm always finding a tight space to squeeze in whereas other cars would struggle.
- The boot is very spacious. I currently keep a set of golf clubs, football and cricket bat in the back for whenver I go out.
- The seats are comfortable and relaxing for longer drives.
- The passengers side has a lot of leg room - the dashboard in front is minimalised.
- The overall car look from the exterior is nice a its has a trendy feel to it.
Disadvantages: - The leg room in the back is limited. On the passenger side it can be increased by moving the passenger seat forward because of the larger space there. But to have 4 mates in the car is near impossible.
- The gear stick is a bit dodgey sometimes. It can be reluctant to go into 1st gear or reverse, but I've found that to overcome this you need to just move the stick around into other gears and go back.
- The car stereo is ok but I use a special casette to plug my MP3 in. Some of the songs sound awful and it needs adjustments to the sound to sort it out.
- The overall interior isn't too aesthetically good. The cheap plastic doesn't look too nice and it can feel horrible after cleaning it.
- It can be argued that the security isn't great. I use a steering lock to deter thieves but the car does have satisfactory alarms.
Overall the car is an excellent drive especially for first time buyers. Its simple, nippy and great value for money. The disadvantages aren't major and a lot of them can be overcome. Also as I drive the spaciousness isn't an issue as I'm driving - its my friends who suffer and they are happy that I'm driving them!
Advantages: Comfortable Seats, Good Sized Boot, Good Fuel Economy Disadvantages: Poor Rear Seat Legroom, Noisy at fast speed,
...We went to the local Ford Garage, as we'd seen an advert in the local paper for a Fiesta Finesse - the new fiesta was just about to be released, and i think they were trying to get rid of the old-style fiestas. Anyway, to cut a long story short, we ended up with a Fiesta Flight 1.3 3-door, in Dark True Blue (it's not metallic unfortunately) for £7395.
This car had a choice of black/dark grey or light grey trim, and it came with 7-spoke alloy wheels. ... ...best to go to a ford dealer, who know a lot more, and can look after the car much better. They would sell there for £4,000 - £6,000 approximately. If you can spare abit more money though, the new style fiesta might be a good bet - it has a CD Player, airbags etc. as standard, and is rather more stylish a car. It is around £7,000 for the basic finesse model, culminating in the luxurious ghia model
All in all, it ain't half bad!!! thanks for reading

I have owned a FordFiesta Zetec 1.25 for about a year now, When i first set eyes on the car i thought it was the latest Ford Focus, until i checked the back and realised it was the new FordFiesta. My initial thoughts were "I need to take this for a spin" have owned the FordFiestaFlight 1997 before this. As soon as i drove this car i knew i had to buy, It was a perfect replacement for my old FordFiesta, Having the same feel as the FordFiesta 1997 but also something completely different about it. It is quite bigger, almost Ford Focus like.
The FordFiesta Zetec 1.25 cost me £6,995 Having one previous owner and 12,000 miles to the clock since 2005, Which for the price i think this was a bargain. I am extremely happy with my purchase.
The insurance is quite cheap aswell, It has cost me less to insure The FordFiesta Zetec 1 ...
