    3 Stars Bland but efficient - is this car Swiss? 08/08/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Reliable, very economical, quick enough even for longer journeys

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Ride too firm, handling too twitchy, not as many toys as you might expect

    (This is a review of the 2004 model, before the 2006MY facelift.) The new-edge styling still looks good, and it's a practical shape. I still take issue with those big "cute eyed" headlamp lenses, but most small cars have them these days, Interior The interior is upholstered in beige, which looks nice enough, but clashes horribly with the bright blue exterior, and tends to show scuffs and marks easily. Seats are firm. There's room for six-footers. It's comfortable enough for long journeys. Spec includes: * Heated "Quickclear" windscreen * Rear parking sensors * Front fog-lights (never need em) ... more

    5 Stars Excellent car and affordable prices 22/09/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages cheap to run, great fuel economy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no ABS

    I have owned this car for a little over a year and a half, over which time I have done about 20k. When I bought it, it had just under 30k and it recently hit 50k which is just under average for its age. I have had only one problem with it in that time, this being a leaking coolant pump which ford fixed on warranty. OVERVEIW The car is basically just a smaller, cheaper Focus, and runs exceptionally well. I have pushed my car to the limits, running it on very rough roads, up extreme gradients fully loaded and over great distances with few stops and it never let me down once. (the coolant pump ... more

    1 Star Car with problems 06/11/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Good little car, Good Fuel Consuption. V Cheap road Tax.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Absolutely attrocious mechanical reliability.

    In one line, AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!! General overview = I purchased my Ford Fiesta with only 6000 miles on the clock. For the next 2 years, I had perfect, trouble-free driving, withthe exception of the engine cutting out at 70 MPH on the motorway, as the fuel heater element (built into the fuel filter) had shorted out. I put this down to an unfortunate one-off, however, as an engineer, I consider the design to be a poor one, as no one individual electrical system (bar the ECU) should EVER cut an engine out. How about a generic failure caption instead? Power Steering failure 1 = The main ... more

    5 Stars Ford Fiesta. 26/02/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Value for Money, Fuel Consumption, Very Reliable.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Would Recommend the 'Facelift' Version (Better Looking)

    In my opinion, the Ford Fiesta is the best hatchback around, better than the Vauxhall Corsa, the Suzuki Swift, the Citreon C2 or the Renault Clio and any other competitor. For the price you can get one for today, it is a steal. Outstanding value for money and with it being a Ford, it is very easy to get parts in case you damage it at all. It's not biggest car and fitting the weekly food shop might become a struggle at times (depending on how much you have) but inside, it is surprisingly spacious. I currently have the 3 door model which i am really happy with and looking to buy the newer ... more

    5 Stars Ford fiesta a great economic car 19/10/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap to run, good spec, handleing, good motorway drive

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not many(if any)

    I like my Fords I have had 3 a focus and two fiestas and never had a problem (best touch some wood now) at all this is the third fiesta I purchased. I bought the fiesta to replace a fiesta, which was the last of the old generation; I purchased the car for my wife who travels a long distance daily at least 60 miles a day. The car she had before was a .25 zetec, which were good but not that good on fuel it being a small engine pounding the motorway was quite thirsty so I opted or should I say I advised we get a diesel. I have a diesel focus zetec and it is great on fuel, having had the car for ... more
