For Ford supplies enough equipment (air-con, electric windows and remote central locking) as standard with this model 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.
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.
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.
