For Ford supplies enough equipment (air-con, electric windows and remote central locking) as standard with the Ford Fiesta 1.4i Edge for it to be considered well kitted out. We also like the way the 1.4-litre petrol engine performs.

Against The rear seats are a little cramped for adults due to a shortage of knee room and the boot has a high load lip that can make it more effort to load in heavy items.

Ford Fiesta Hatchback

What Car? says

4 out of 5 stars

The Ford Fiesta 1.4i Edge is a good choice for anyone looking for a well-thought-out supermini. The Fiesta delivers in big measures on the driving front as well as being cheap to own and run.
