Ford Fiesta reviews

The most enjoyable car to drive after 40 years of driving

this car has never let me down I have42500miles on the clock

Have had 5 Fiestas throughout the years. They have all been reliable and very practical for my needs, mainly commuting to work and laterly transporting golf clubs and trolley to course.

This is the latest of Ford Fiestas I have owned and is certainly the best all round. The only moan I have is that there was no spare wheel but a silly pump of glue to fix a puncture, which because of damage to the rim could not do and had to call out the AA to get home. Have since purchased a spare rim and tyre and got stung with Ford spare part prices! Have also learned since if you manage to fix the puncture you still need to replace the tyre. Utter cheap skating rubbish to save a bit of weight by Ford designers.

Comfortable and reliable good level of fittings but a bit small at times with several people on board.

Having downsized to a fiesta, it took a few days to adjust to the difference in power but I now find the car convenient and comfortable to drive, also easier for parking in confined spaces.Fuel consumption averages under 40 mpg.

My car is a Ford Fiesta Zetec S and I am very pleased with it. It looks smart and is thoroughly reliable. It can be a little thirsty on petrol but on average I get 37mpg running around town which isn't all that bad. Also, because it is the sports model, the suspension can seem a bit hard but I knew that when I bought it so not a surprise. The only con I can put against the car is that the turning circle is not as good as the previous Fiesta model. This means that parking in car parks can result in a bit of a shuffle if space is tight but you get used to it. I would certainly buy another Fiesta as I find them great to drive.

Had this car since I passed my test in 2005, in that time it's never broken down on me and the only things I've had to change are coil plugs, brake pads and discs and the exhaust. When it eventually dies, I'll be getting another Ford.

Don't get me wrong the fact that my car is still going surprises me and touch wood no major faults, has been reliable and great as a little run around

My first criticism of this car is that the rear seats do not fold completely flat as they do in other hatchback cars. This reduces the versatility for carrying bulky items. Secondly, the speech recognition leaves a lot to be desired. Apart from that, the car runs quietly and well. It is comfortable and fairly economical to run.

The ford fiesta is a lovely car and ideal for the short journeys that i do. Very economical .

Fantastic lovely brill. Ride performance and economy. Apleasure to drive and looks sooooo good

Well... what can I say about my lovely little Ford Fiesta, it's very economical and is very easy driving. I climb into my car in the mornings believing I am in a Aston Martin, as the Fiesta is that comfortable, .... it has heating, windscreen wipers and runs like a dream. For such a small car the leg room is passable, fantastic for running locally... school runs, to work and back..... I would be lost without her.

This was my first sports car back in 1997, it had trouble starting on cold mornings but was a great little car. It ran on pure air and I hardly ever had to put petrol in it. Was really comfortable and had held the road really nicely. Plenty of space in the back and could easily ferry all my mates around at the weekend. I would say this is an ideal first car for.
