For The Fiesta has an almost uncanny knack of making every journey a pleasure thanks to supple comfort and agile handling. Interior is a joy to be in and very comfortable.

Against The smallest petrol engine in the Fiesta line-up may be easy on fuel and emissions, but it can struggle with motorway driving and acceleration from rest is on the slow side.

4 out of 5 stars

A very cost-effective Fiesta for those looking to save the pennies at all costs, but there’s not much standard equipment with the Studio trim and performance is sluggish

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.
