For The extra punch of the more powerful 1.25i engine makes a big difference to the performance and motorway ability of the Fiesta without having a big impact on economy or emissions. And, Edge trim brings most of the desirable bits of kit

Against Space in the rear seat is a little more cramped than in some rivals’ for adult knees. Boot is reasonable but has a high-set lip to heft heavier luggage up and over.

More power underlines how good the Fiesta is to drive and it handles with a nimbleness its rivals can only envy. Some of the practical details could be improved, though.

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.
