Ford Fiesta Hatchback 1.25i 82 Zetec 5dr

For There’s a lot going for this engine/trim combination. The 1.25i gives you decent pace and low running costs, while Zetec trim gives you even sportier looks

Against There’s not much to dislike, but the Style+ model gives you all the kit you need at a lower price. Like most Fiestas, it could be cheaper

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

There's an almost bewildering range of engines to choose from in the Fiesta range, but for us the best of the lot is the more powerful 1.25-litre unit. 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, as there will always be good deals to be found. Ford's own website is a good place to start, as here you can find all the latest company offers, such as free equipment and low-rate finance.
