For Five doors helps to make what is almost the most luxurious Fiesta a more practical option. It comes laden with equipment, including alloy wheels, climate control and CD stereo.

Against The price is the real problem, and while it may be a more practical option thanks to having five doors, space is still limited in the rear seats for adults’ knees. The boot is also smaller than some key rivals’.

Loads of standard equipment may appeal to some, but it’s the diesel engine’s economy and low emissions that get us excited and they’re available for less cash in other models.

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.
