For Electric front windows and air-con come with Edge trim, making this model a little more luxurious than the basic Studio trim. Fine economy and emissions from the smallest petrol engine.

Against You have to work the engine quite hard to get up to motorway speeds, although it’s willing to be revved. Some interior plastics look and feel a bit low-rent.

4 out of 5 stars

A great driving supermini that is fun to use in town and on country roads, but is on the slow side for motorway driving. Not all cabin materials impress.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

There's an almost bewildering range of engines in the Fiesta range, but for us the best of the lot is the more powerful of the two 1.25-litre units. It's pokey enough and reasonably priced.

Effectively, there are two types of Fiesta – a standard set-up with more compliant suspension and speed-sensitive steering, and the firmer Zetec S, which has consistently weightier steering. Either way, it’s superb, but we'd recommend the standard car.

Whichever model you choose, make sure you shop around, because there will always be good deals to be found. Ford's website is a good place to start: here you can find all the latest company offers, such as free equipment and low-rate finance.
