For The Zetec trim brings with it all of the luxuries we would want in a supermini, such as air-conditioning, electric windows and alloy wheels. A sound and frugal choice.

Against Some of the plastics and materials used in the Fiesta’s cabin look and feel on the cheap side. Rear-seat space could be more generous for adults’ legs.

4 out of 5 stars

Few will argue with the economy and emissions offered by this Fiesta model, although you may find more dissenting voices when it comes to rear space.

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.
